With social media being at the tip of your fingers, it’s very easy to create a fake account and start tweeting nonsense. Someone with a fake account of Zartaj Gul Wazir, tweeted out a picture of Mira Sethi from her wedding where her brother Ali Sethi was kissing her on the cheek:
یہ ہے جناب محترم نجم سیٹھی صاحب اور یہ تصویر ہے ان کی بیٹی کی شادی کی
اور یہ پپی لینے والا اس کا دولہا نہیں اس کا دوست ہے
اور اس کا دولہا آگے آگے چل رہا ہےیہ نجم سیٹھی دن رات عمران خان پر کیچڑ اچھالتا تھا اب اپنی اخلاقیات دیکھ لے
لعنت ہی بنتی ہے pic.twitter.com/ECmN96m8y4— زرتاج گُل وزیر (@ZartajGullWzir) November 29, 2019
The tweet was an attack of Mira and Najam Sethi. And people, who also thought this was a legit account, came to defend Mira:
This is Ali Sethi, Meera’s brother

Kindly delete. The guy is his brother. And seek Allah’s forgiveness for this tweet
— Hassaan Niazi (@HniaziISF) November 29, 2019
Najam Sethi too thought this was Zartaj’s real account:
Climate Minister Sahiba, aap ko thand tou nahi lag rahi? Yey Mira Sethi ka bhai Ali Sethi hai! Forun maafi maango…
— Najam Sethi (@najamsethi) November 29, 2019
And that’s when the real Zartaj Gul Wazir took notice of Najam Sethi’s tweet, shots were fired!
Retarded Chirrya.
Check the level of investigative journalist @najamsethi – responding to a FAKE account, and asking me to apologize!🤦♀️
He knows I blocked him last year after he tweeted nonsense. The man knows my genuine account.
APOLOGIZE for your wrong accusation, Mr. Najam. pic.twitter.com/mZVVNqm1i4
— Zartaj Gul Wazir (@zartajgulwazir) November 29, 2019
Zartaj further continued to tweet that she doesn’t care about him or his daughter and whatever goes on in their life:
I don't even know or care who your daughter is, Mr. Najam and what's happening in her life. But it is clear..aap ki Chirrya k dimaagh ko thandd lag gayee hai!
Either apologise or stop calling yourself an investigative journalist. Better even, now retire and spare others a laugh.
— Zartaj Gul Wazir (@zartajgulwazir) November 29, 2019
Zartaj also demanded that Najam Sethi apologizes for wrongly accusing her and the internet was going crazy over the drama!
Hahahah its alright this happens alot in "bade bade shehro mein"😂😂
— Kashif Malik (@Its_me_Kashif) November 30, 2019
Some suggested she gets her account verified:
Zartaj you should verify Ur account
— Emran Faiz Butt (@aAmi0007) November 29, 2019
Some wanted her to do something about fake accounts:
Why don’t you report your fake accounts for impersonation? And make strict laws and policies to prevent this?
— Sadaf Alvi (@TheGrumpyDoctor) November 30, 2019
Many wanted her to actually do something rather than being on her phone:
No offence minister sahiba but how about cracking on with some work like working on renewable energy resources, air pollution initiatives. There’s plenty to do rather than wasting time on your phone getting involved in a tit for tat spat with someone. Ministers need to deliver!

Many were finding his reply savage:

Some had questions:
