ISLAMABAD – It seems Jibran Ilyas – the US-based PTI social media team head – dictates the terms and is powerful enough to question even the party chairman, Barrister Gohar.

At the same time, there shouldn’t be any doubt that Jibran is the actual spokesperson of Imran Khan, the PTI founding chairman, as he executes the orders directly given by the jailed leader.

The proof are the screenshots of WhatsApp conversations shared by the party sources, which also show that Imran has empowered Jibran to regulate the PTI leadership. It also shows the fascist nature of the party where Imran is the supreme leader and everyone down the line is nothing but a puppet saying yes to every word uttered by the puppet master.

Meanwhile, this saga also explains the anti-state attitude adopted by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, as he is threatening the state again and again. Certainly, Gandapur is just conveying the message of Imran. If Gohar can’t speak for himself, then Gandapur, a provincial chief minister, too has been executing the policies of Imran.

TALK TO ME. I AM THE BOSS:

On June 3, Jibran in a WhatsApp group “Jibran and PTI Top Leadership”, said, “If you need to ask something about the investigation, then you can ask in this group. I will reply happily, but don’t say anything on basis of assumptions.”

“Like I do not have any account of the PTI founder and social media isn’t operated from abroad.”

“We do have a good number of [workers] in the country, but this suggestion that the [party] workers’ addresses should be shared isn’t good.”

These instructions came in connection with the probe held by the FIA into the controversial statement about 1971 issued through the official X account of PTI.

FAST AND FURIOUS:

As the FIA grilled Gohar and Raoof Hasan, the then information secretary, the former admitted in a written statement provided to the investigators that “Jibran Ilyas and Azhar Mashwani run the social media accounts from abroad”.

It made Jibran furious. He shared the TV channel screenshots with Gohar on June 5, making him give explanations, which is certainly not the way a normal political party works.

Gohar said he didn’t name either of the two as the handler of the post. “You should ask me if you find may statement. Please don’t get me involved in any other thing [affair],” he said, while reminding him that he had talked to him for 30 minutes and explained everything.

He then went on to say that Gibran should please call him again in case there was any other question.

To prove his “innocence”, he also mentioned that “some sources say I have given your names and some [others] say Raoof has named you.”

DENY IT THEN:

In this response, Jibran asked him to deny everything, to which Gohar said, “I had told you earlier too that I would refute when the FIA completes the process.”

“When I came out [of the FIA office], I said the matter is sub judice and the high court has directed us to appear in person. Therefore, I do not want to give answers in detail.”

WORTHLESS LEADERS vs GOEBBELS:

The latest revelations show that the party leaders have no value in the eyes of Jibran whose reach to the top, Imran, is undeniable.

At the same time, everyone within the PTI knows that the party official social media accounts, running an anti-state campaign designed to incite violence, are managed from outside Pakistan.

Meanwhile, the iron grip on the PTI affairs enjoyed by Imran through Jibran and others also negates the myth of democracy, as the state of affairs only points to the fascist approach and structure of the party.

In short, it is Goebbels of the 21st century who is managing the PTI affairs for Imran who gives statements daily to create anarchy in Pakistan so that he can’t be held accountable for his actions like the botched May 9 coup attempt.
