Fake news: Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi image doesn’t appear in mirrors
ISLAMABAD: A top Indian news agency carried a bizarre news article about Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi on Sunday.
Quoting an unnamed member of PM House staff, ANI said that Pakistan’s first lady’s face doesn’t appear in mirrors. The claim was based on a forged screenshot of Capital TV.
Before heading to New York to lead Pakistan in the 47th UN General Assembly session, PM Khan performed Umrah with his wife. She was seen wearing burqa from head to toe.
The first lady is a faith leader and believed to have played an instrumental role in Imran Khan’s rise to power.
