‘I Have Led a Spotless Life’: Former PM Raja Pervaiz Ashraf Strongly Rejects Allegations in Viral ‘Drug Baroness’ Pinky Video

Raja Pervaiz Ashraf Demands End to Social Media Media Trials Until Investigations Conclude

Senior Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader and former Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf has expressed intense anger over a viral social media video linking his name to a high-profile narcotics case.

Speaking during a National Assembly session, the veteran politician strongly defended his reputation and questioned the unregulated spread of unverified claims online:

  • The Viral Accusation and Recantation: Ashraf stated that on May 18, 2026, a video surfaced online showing a female drug trafficking suspect mentioning his name. However, he pointed out that the same woman later admitted she was coerced and forced to make that false statement.

  • Shock Over Implication: The former Prime Minister expressed absolute shock when he first heard the clip, wondering which "Raja Pervaiz Ashraf" was being dragged into such a case, completely distancing himself from the matter.

  • A Call to Ban Public Discussion on Pending Cases: Ashraf made a strong appeal to the parliament, demanding a strict policy that no legal case or ongoing investigation should be brought up for public discussion or social media debate until a thorough probe is finalized. He emphasized that it is the fundamental constitutional right of every Pakistani citizen to be treated as innocent until proven guilty through due process.

  • Police Chief's Clarification: In a related update, Karachi Police Chief Azad Khan cleared the air regarding the unfolding investigation, explicitly clarifying that prominent, high-profile figures from Lahore have absolutely no connection to the drug smuggling operations tied to the suspect, "Pinky."
