US Author Slams PTI Protesters, Exposes the Truth Behind Islamabad’s Turmoil

Islamabad: An American author, Sarah Adams, has expressed severe anger and frustration over the ongoing political unrest in Islamabad, fueled by protests from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters. Adams, a well-known novelist from Nashville, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share her thoughts on the situation.
In her post, Sarah Adams recounted her personal experience in Pakistan, where she observed the so-called ‘peaceful’ protesters. She stated, “I have stayed in Pakistan and witnessed these so-called ‘peaceful’ protesters firsthand. Believe me, we who have been through Benghazi know well what a ‘peaceful protest’ really looks like.”
Adams emphasized the need to be wary of false narratives circulating in the media, noting that even some American lawmakers are commenting on the protests without having a clear understanding of the facts. “Don’t fall for fake news,” she wrote. “Some of our own U.S. Congress members are commenting on these protests without knowing the truth.”
She further criticized the misinformation regarding the violence in Islamabad, specifically dismissing claims that 100 protesters had been shot dead by the Pakistani military. “It’s a fact-checking exercise,” Adams stated. “These protesters are the ones throwing tear gas, not the police.”
In addition, Adams condemned the spread of false information, highlighting that just because something is online or repeated by organizations like Amnesty International does not make it true. “Sharing misinformation only damages your own cause, as it makes it seem less credible,” she remarked.
The unrest in Islamabad has been marked by allegations of violence and the use of tear gas, with some reports claiming that PTI protesters had fired tear gas at police forces. New revelations have emerged suggesting that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police, under the direction of provincial minister Ali Amin Gandapur, had supplied tear gas shells to PTI workers.
This development has sparked further controversy, with calls for investigations into the involvement of local police in the protests.
