Everything comes with pros & cons, similarly social media can be used to express your or to malign & target people. Recently Lubna Cheema Pregnancy scandal surfaced on twitter, but do you know why?
A fake account from the name of Lubna Cheema, claiming to be the daughter of Umar Cheema accused him of force abortion and beatings after which hashtag #LubnaCheemaPregnancy started trending on twitter.
This twitter handle @LubnaCheema01 is brainwork of #PTI social media which is throwing dirt instead of responding to story contents. @UmarCheema1 has no daughter by the name of Lubna.

#PTI claims the ones circulated my phone/email details on twitter and Facebook are not from #PTI. However, all the hate calls I received were from #PTI supporters. What a coincidence.
