It is our responsibility to counter disinformation with truth and promote narratives based on national unity: Governor KP
\n ISLAMABAD
\nGovernor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi on Sunday emphasized the undeniable role of social media across Pakistan, particularly in shaping public opinion in sensitive regions like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
\nHe stressed the need for political forces to become more active in the digital arena to positively influence the mindset of the youth.
\nHe expressed these views while addressing a central meeting of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) digital team held in Islamabad. The meeting focused on the party\u2019s digital strategy, upcoming social media campaigns, and strengthening public engagement through online platforms.
\nThe session saw active participation from PPP\u2019s Central Secretary for Information Nadeem Afzal Chan, Sindh\u2019s Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, MNA Qasim Gillani, Senator Nadeem Bhutto, and digital media heads from various divisions.
\nAdditionally, PPP\u2019s overseas digital activists from the UK, Canada, Germany, UAE, Saudi Arabia, the US, and other countries joined the meeting via Zoom.
\nGovernor Kundi said that digital media has become a powerful tool in influencing public discourse, particularly in a province like KP.
\n\u201cUnfortunately, certain elements are spreading lies and fake news to mislead our youth. It is our responsibility to counter disinformation with truth and promote narratives based on national unity,\u201d he said.
\nThe meeting underscored the PPP\u2019s commitment to strengthening its digital presence and countering misinformation with fact-based, progressive messaging.
\nMeanwhile, Pakistan Peoples Party leader Senator Talha Mahmood called on Governor Faisal Karim Kundi at Governor House Islamabad.
\nThe two discussed the country\u2019s political landscape, deteriorating law and order in KP, record-breaking corruption by the provincial government, and welfare projects by the Talha Mahmood Foundation in Chitral and other areas.
\nSenator Mahmood criticized rampant corruption and nepotism, saying government funds are being discovered in personal accounts of public representatives. Both leaders agreed on the urgent need to rid the province of incompetent rulers.
\nThey also consulted on matters related to the upcoming Senate elections.
\nGovernor Kundi appreciated the foundation\u2019s welfare efforts and encouraged expanding its outreach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
