Former Pakistani PM Imran Khan is in news again for misrepresenting the facts after he shared a photograph on twitter showing his relatives seated apparently at the 1930 Round Table Conference. Khan in order to prove his legacy of patriotism resorted to lying.
Khan posted the picture on social media on Sunday evening, with the caption: “The historic Round Table Conference London 1930 with both Quaid i Azam & Allama Iqbal present." The picture is pride of my family because my grandfather’s brother Mohammad Zaman Khan (after whom Zaman Park was named) and my khaloo Jahangir Khan were also present (second and third from left).”
Netizens without losing a moment pointed out that neither of the two relatives mentioned by Imran Khan were ever present at the Round Table Conference. List of dignitaries who participated in that meeting didn't have his uncle's and Khalu's names.
A look at the list of delegates present at the conference, available on the website of the UK’s Open University, confirmed this. For his fake claim, Khan is getting trolled fiercely on social media. Pertinent to mention here that this is not for the first time that Imran Khan has misrepresented the facts. Earlier in 2018, he had shared a pic on Pakistani Independence Day, mentioning that Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Iqbal were sitting next to his relatives which also turned out to be a lie later on.
