Hassan Ayub, a journalist currently affiliated with ARY News, had reportedly sought a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) ticket in 2013 for both himself and his brother, a request that was ultimately denied.
Known for his critical stance towards PTI founder Imran Khan and the party’s leadership, Ayub has recently become a target of social media trolling. This surge in attention follows comments made by PTI leader Amir Mughal during a broadcast on ABN News, where he made several startling revelations about Ayub’s past interactions with the party.
According to Mughal, not only did Ayub seek a party ticket, but he also organized a rally in support of PTI. Mughal suggests that Ayub’s subsequent criticism of PTI and Imran Khan stems from his disappointment over not receiving the party ticket.
Following these revelations, the segment from the ABN News program quickly went viral, sparking widespread reaction among social media users. This incident highlights the ongoing tensions and complex dynamics within political journalism in Pakistan, particularly concerning the relationships between media personalities and political entities.
