New audio and video leaks have tarnished Pakistani politics, and in the midst of the never-ending leaks saga, a clip purporting to be of Khawaja Asif’s daughter has appeared online.
PTI trolls and social media users posted the 30-second film from what looks to be a nightclub extensively and criticized outspoken minister Khawaja Asif for having “dual standards”; many cited the PML-N minister’s previous comments in which he made fun of ladies who cheered at PTI rallies.
The video clip shows a woman wearing a red culotte dress and a black blazer throwing shapes. The girl’s hands flailed wildly, and swung in time to the beats, in the video filmed by a fellow clubber on a handheld device, while other people in the clip could also be seen shaking legs.
People in the nightclub are apparently enjoying under strobe lights and Punjabi music, however, the clip caused chaos online as PTI activists and PML-N critics shared the clip without cross-checking the facts.
Allegedly Khawaja Asif’s daughter dancing in this viral video, watch:

Several YouTubers and influencers also jumped onto the bandwagon and criticized Sharif’s cabinet member without verification, further peddling the propaganda just for the views.
As Khawaja Asif and other PML-N leaders remained tight-lipped on the smear campaign, some social media users debunked the picture which was reportedly from a dance party from India.
As the trend spread, many users criticized political rivals for stooping to a new low as these leaks appeared with the turn of the calendar and both PTI and PML-N were the targets. It appears that it was spread in order to harm Khawaja Asif’s and the ruling party’s political standing since they have continued to criticize Imran Khan’s personal life. Asif is one of the most senior members of the PML-N.
