Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has rejected reports of boycotting the General Elections 2024 after several reports and even deepfake of its candidates emerged on social media and claimed to boycott tomorrow’s polls.
However, PTI’s official X account (formerly Twitter) clarified the matter stating that the party isn’t boycotting the elections.
“Let the world know that this is the level to which the illegitimate, fascist regime has stooped to!” PTI stated, adding, “Petrified of the massive turnout tomorrow for General Elections, the controlled media is being used to run a fake news about PTI boycotting elections, along with running a fake audio!”
Furthermore, it stated, “The illegitimate regime has used every ounce of fascism, propaganda & unprecedented pre poll rigging against Pakistan’s largest, most popular & only federal party PTI, led by illegally incarcerated Imran Khan.”
Let the world know that this is the level to which the illegitimate, fascist regime has stooped to!
