Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf has taken strong exception to what it described as an “extremely biased” article published by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) which, according to the PTI, only reports the narrative espoused by Pakistan’s opposition parties.
The article was published on November 22, the day the Opposition’s 11-party Pakistan Democratic Movemeny (PDM) staged an anti-government rally in Peshawar despite warnings of legal action and the looming threat of a coronavirus outbreak.
The party slammed the British media outlet for what it described as an “extremely biased” article which “only shows the PDM’s narrative”.
Dear @BBCWorld admin, can you please find out who gave the green light to the following article? https://t.co/4tvbpDy6fc

It’s extremely biased & only shows the PDM narrative. Quite shameful to see BBC becoming a tool for corrupt politicians who are seeking NRO. #Shame_On_BBC
PM Imran’s focal person on digital media also criticized the news report and called it a “non-factual article”.
Low point indeed for @BBCWorld by publishing a non factual article written by a biased journalist @MohammadIlyasKh.Opinions r fine but when facts r distorted,it becomes shameful.
