Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf’s Chairman Imran Khan Niazi eloped once again, as he married his spiritual guide Bushra Wattoo Bibi. Khan’s third marriage became the talk of the town and Twitter users saw this is the perfect time to serve their political positions.
After news of the marriage was confirmed by PTI’s media accounts, thousands of people either congratulated Imran Khan on Twitter, or they tried their best to troll him for mere retweets. A journalist who belongs to one of Pakistan’s biggest media hubs, Mubashir Zaidi, sent out some inappropriate tweets against Imran Khan and his new wife.
Not just this tweet in particular, Mubashir Zaidi also went on with other inappropriate tweets where one said: “Some politicians think with their hearts, others think with their brain, but there are some that think with other places. Imran Khan belongs to the third category.”
Even though Zaidi’s tweets have now been deleted, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf social media team still has not spared him for his comments. Zaidi’s actions turned humiliating for him and his family, as trolls dug out his family photos and made inappropriate and disgusting comments, just as they usually do.
This is what PTI trolls have been posting on social media regarding the journalist’s family
After apology and deletion of swinging tweets from #MubashirZaidi, we have also deleted the tournament we conducted. Lets hope he wont get filthy again, lets hope sanity prevails.

However; job in jung group & running kitchen forced him to use his pen for corrupt Sharifs. He sold his profession for luxury. pic.twitter.com/2EV4QG3etR

All this forced Mubashir Zaidi to seek forgiveness from Imran Khan for the remarks on his wedding and his wife, something he would not have done had his family photos not been circulating on Twitter, all thanks to the PTI trolls present on social media. However, ever since, Zaidi has removed his apology tweets to Imran Khan as well.
