Manipulated footage falsely shared as Pakistani politician apologising at national assembly

After an Islamist party chief drew backlash from Pakistani officials for criticising emergency rule in a northern province in October 2026, a manipulated video circulated online with a false claim it showed him apologising at the legislature. The clip was made from genuine footage of a parliamentary session, where he made no such remarks. An AI detection tool has also flagged the clip as digitally altered.
