Iftikhar Durrani, a former adviser to
Pakistani President Dhrikh Insaf, is
known, but not much is known about
Rabia Malik, a woman said to be close
to the PTI leader.

As the clips became a sensation
among social media users, Rabia
Malik appeared in the popular section
of the microblogging site Twitter.
Some staunch supporters and party
members have tried to downplay the
incident by labeling the woman in the
viral video as lftikhar’s wife.

Amidst the conflicting accounts,
netizens quickly pieced together the
facts to refute the PTl employee’s
claims. According to information
shared on Twitter, Rabia Malik has
been appointed deputy head of PTI’s
Twitter team.

The woman, who has been part of the
Twitter and Facebook core teams for
some time, is said to be a major
contributor to hashtag trends and
outreach programs that helped the
former ruling party achieve the best
possible digital footprint.
