Imran Riaz Khan highlights negative comments on ISPR Eid tweet

Rawalpindi: Anchor Imran Riaz Khan, who is considered a mouthpiece for the Pakistani establishment, is using his social media to target the army for not taking sides with Imran Khan.

The former anchor and now a famous YouTuber, on Tuesday highlighted thousands of negative comments the ISPR’s tweet posted on Eid day received online.

The tweet said Army Chief General Bajwa celebrated Eid with troops at the Line of Control, the defacto border with India.

More than 50,000 people replied to the tweet and most of them appeared to be former prime minister Imran Khan’s supporters.
