Sheikh Rashid trolled for sharing Los Angeles traffic jam clip.
Sheikh Rashid, a former interior minister, posted an overhead video of a sizable traffic delay, but it later turned out that the footage was really from a sizable jam that was photographed during the Thanksgiving holiday in Southern California.
Days after the eagerly awaited power display in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, Rashid, a crucial ally of Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, posted the clip on Twitter.
Netizens were quick to spot that the Awami Muslim League leader had reposted a Los Angeles traffic jam clip.
Social media users debunked the claim of PTI leaders, who mentioned that millions of activists flocked to Rawalpindi’s Murree Road to listen to the address of ousted Pakistani premier Imran Khan.
Trolls and PTI critics also shared international media articles on Los Angeles’ traffic jams that reportedly occurred five years back.
Rashid’s snafu is another example that nothing can be kept a secret from social media users in this day and age. Keyboard warriors also made memes out of Rashid’s posts, calling him out for reposting the L.A. clip.
