ISLAMABAD: A claim circulating online about a “world-exclusive interview” with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir has been found to be false and misleading, according to preliminary assessments.
The Claim
Posts attributed to an account identifying itself as “Global Trends Magazine (GTM)” claimed that an exclusive interview had been conducted, or was scheduled, with Pakistan’s top civilian and military leadership that include Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir.
The Fact Check
No such interview has been conducted, authorized, or scheduled, according to officials familiar with the matter.
An initial open-source (OSINT) review of the account indicated a limited and questionable digital presence. The account was found to have a low follower count, minimal engagement, and no verifiable credentials typically associated with established international publications.
No credible media organization or official platform has reported or confirmed the existence of such an interview.
The Verdict
The claim is false.
The content appears to be a deceptive attempt to exploit the names of senior state officials for visibility and possible fraudulent purposes. The public has been advised to avoid engaging with or amplifying unverified information from such sources.
