Imran Khan accused of blasphemy after edited video goes viral

Islamabad: PTI leader Azhar Mashwani on Wednesday condemned what he said the campaign against former prime minister Imran Khan who was accused of blasphemy by his critics after his speech at the workers convention.

Mashwani attacked journalist who had shared the video in a tweet, saying an edited version of Khan’s speech was being spread to vilify him.

Journalists also hit back at Mashwani for his reaction in which he accused them of taking instructions on WhatsApp groups.
