Web Desk: Hamzah Humayun has rejected a video circulating on social media that he said falsely portrays his position, describing the material as misleading propaganda.
In a statement, Humayun said the video had distorted the facts by presenting information in an inaccurate and out-of-context manner. He argued that the content was being circulated to create a negative impression about him.
Humayun said the material attributed to him did not accurately reflect the reality of the matter.
According to his statement, the video had altered the context of the information and presented it in a way that could mislead viewers.
He did not provide details about who created the video, when it was recorded or which specific portions of the material he considered misleading.
Humayun said he retained the right to pursue legal proceedings against those responsible for spreading what he described as false and out-of-context material.
He added that he intended to take the necessary legal steps in response to the video’s circulation.
However, his statement did not identify any individuals or organisations that he believes are behind the dissemination of the content.
The statement comes as social media platforms continue to play a major role in the rapid circulation of political and public-interest content.
Humayun urged that the disputed video should not be treated as an accurate representation of events, saying its presentation had been designed to promote what he called negative propaganda.
Any potential legal proceedings could provide further details about the video’s origin, authenticity and the specific claims being challenged.
