A Political Appointment?

Ghazali has previously been a part of the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) social media wing as a Head of Operations. This was before the party was elected in 2018. This is why a controversy has surrounded his appointment at the Ministry of Information.

Responding to the unfounded criticism, Imran Ghazali defended his appointment with facts.

I have been part of PTI Social Media as a volunteer but I have also earned a reputation as an industry professional. So I think it’s a bit unfair to show me as a PTI recruit.

Imran said he had formally applied for the Digital Media Wing position as a GM and was interviewed by a panel of 6 committee members, including a minister, secretary, officials from the Ministry of Information, and Establishment.
