Shazia Marri moves to court against ‘fake news peddlers’ over Rs97b recovery rumours
PPP leader also expressed her gratitude to those who debunked the fake news.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Shazia Marri has moved to court against ‘fake news peddlers’ over Rs97b recovery rumours!
It all started amid purported social media posts, alleging that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had recovered a substantial sum of Rs97 billion from Shazia Marri’s residence.
However, the news turned out to be fake propaganda against the politician.
شازیہ مری کے گھر سے اربوں روپے ریکور کرنے کی جھوٹی خبر چلائی جارہی ہے اور جن تصاویر کو اُن کے گھر چھاپے سے منصوب کیا جارہا ہے وہ چھاپہ گزشتہ سال کمشنر کراچی کورنگی میں موجود گھر پر مارا گیا تھا۔
صحافی اسد کھرل بھی ان تصاویر کو شئیر کر کے ڈیلیٹ کرگئے ہیں https://t.co/9P6N74SjWO pic.twitter.com/mVFXJ6QSx4— Expose Propaganda (@EPropoganda1) September 2, 2023
Monday saw Shazia Mari’s name trending on social media in association with the fake news.
Shazia Mari in a statement posted on X-platform said, “Legal notice being sent to all peddlers of fake & baseless news about me. I’m proud of the fact that in my 21 years of political journey, I’ve worked hard with sincerity& dedication. My conscience is satisfied that both as an elected member& minister, I’ve served the people with integrity.”

A day earlier, the PPP leader also expressed her gratitude to those who debunked the fake news.
“I’m grateful to all who exposed the #FakeNews related to me. [I] am touched by the overwhelming replies to the nasty propaganda that only exposes the sick minds of those who have nothing better to do. Will be taking legal action against those who’ve spread this fake news,” she posted on X-platform.
