Previously, some impersonator using his name and picture had frequently been sharing content against different institutions of the country. When it got off the hook, Maqsood had to come on a private TV channel to clarify that he has never used any social media platform in the past.
“I don’t have any social media account,” he revealed, adding that he was not even on WhatsApp.
Maqsood said that whoever had been using his name to spread hatred was not doing any good to himself or the country.
