Shahid Afridi Nominated As Governor Sindh; Fake News Galloping on Social Media

We are not sure about rest of the worlds, but in Pakistan, it is quite easy to assure the masses on any fake news. In most recent time, the owner of Peshawar Zalmi and brother of Shahid Afridi, Javed Afridi tweeted funny news of congratulating Shahid Khan Afridi for becoming the new Governor Sindh after the death of Justice (R) Saeed ul Zaman Siddiqi. This tweet of Javed Afridi is galloping over the social media platforms and fool Facebookies, as usual, are congratulating each other without even bothering what the reality is and what was even the source of information.

After half an hour, Javed Afridi tweeted another tweet clarifying he has mentioned another Shahid in his tweet and it is not Shahid Afridi. But he did not disclose about who is another Shahid who is going to become the next Governor Sindh and what was even the source of such information for Javed Afridi who is not a political or media figure at all.

Here is the reaction over social media platforms

#ShahidAfridi is lucky. He has been nominated for another post where he doesn’t need 2 do anything. Quite similar to his cricketing career.
