Islamabad [Pakistan]Dawn reports that Imran Khan, former prime minister and party chairman, sat down at the family dinner table and shared what was happening.
With an on-and-off ban on Imran Khan’s speeches and press conferences by the government back home, Khan’s savvy media cell kicked into action, ensuring that his message is disseminated to the world via international media hubs, Dawn reported.
Khan recorded interviews with several international channels, including Sky News, BBC, CNN and Sky News. He also recorded interviews with smaller media outlets like Vice News and Voice of America in a matter of days.
Khan’s message that he is “prepared for arrest” and his criticism of the incumbent government reached all his followers, as well as billions across the world.
Scenes of chaos outside Zaman Park, where protesters were chanting Khan’s name and holding his photos, were repeatedly aired on international TV and social media channels.
Dawn opined that the action against the PTI leader becomes the top story for most foreign news outlets Al Jazeera interviewed Khan’s diehard supporters in Lahore, some of whom were wiping their tears in the aftermath of police firing tear gas at them.
Khan’s media team is sophisticated and knows well how to disseminate his message. Last night, Khan’s dining table was covered with the empty shells of tear gas canisters that were fired into his home, a powerful visual re-shared by scores on social media, Dawn stated.
For a government that desperately wanted to block Khan’s narrative and deny him coverage, the plan backfired, as Khan became a top news story on every international channel overnight.
Dawn reported that Dawn noticed that his video messages have become viral in Pakistan at a time when people are more likely to watch news on their smartphones than traditional TVs. (ANI)
