“The President of Pakistan was taking the salute, and his pants got wet, may Allah give him health, but the request was that if you cannot have mercy on a country with nuclear power, then have mercy on this old man Zardari. Just do it, man, this country belongs to all of us, don’t make it a mockery of the world #ReleaseImranKhanNow #AyubMedicalCollegeScam”
To verify the claim’s accuracy, a reverse imaging procedure was undertaken. A reverse image search revealed the shared video dates back to January 2023 from Sudan when President Salva Kirr wetted himself during a national public ceremony.
The viral claim appears to have been shared to discredit and mock President Asif Ali Zardari and his political party. Users shared this video to make a point that Zardari is unfit to be a president as he is getting older and weaker.
Our fact check confirmed that the claim alleging President Asif Ali Zardari urinated on himself during a guard of honor is false. The video used to support the claim is not of President Zardari but of President Salva Kirr of Sudan.
