Alhamdulillah, She is Alive': PTI Rubbishes Social Media Rumors Regarding Dr. Yasmin Rashid's Death in Prison

Detailed Report

  • The Fake News Outbreak: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has officially released a clarificatory statement addressing malicious rumors circulating across social media platforms that claimed the party's incarcerated senior leader, Dr. Yasmin Rashid, had passed away during medical treatment. The viral reports alleged that the senior leader’s health had suddenly collapsed inside Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail, and that she succumbed to her ailments shortly after being shifted to a medical facility. The party's central media wing swiftly rejected these claims, labeling them entirely fabricated and detached from reality.

  • The Leadership's Response: Turning to social media to dispel the anxiety among workers, PTI Central Spokesperson Sheikh Waqas Akram expressed gratitude that Dr. Yasmin Rashid is alive and remaining resilient in custody. Akram highlighted that while she faces unlawful detention and harsh legal sentences for standing by party founder Imran Khan, her conviction remains unshaken. He appealed directly to PTI cadres and the general public to completely disregard these baseless rumors and avoid sharing unverified, emotionally distressing social media posts.
