TOKYO (Dunya News) – Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari strongly condemned a social media campaign targeting the Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’ official visit to Japan, calling it an attack on Pak-Japan diplomatic ties.
Reacting to a list circulating on social media allegedly naming members of the delegation visiting Japan, Azma dismissed it as a “pack of lies.”
She clarified that the individuals mentioned in the viral list were not part of the official delegation.
“The disgraceful campaign against the first-ever visit to Japan by a chief minister after 25 years reflects the extreme of anti-national behaviour. The list being shared online is completely baseless,” she said.

She added that all non-government members of the delegation paid for their travel expenses from their own pockets, while only official members were funded by the government.
“The start of a new era in Pakistan-Japan relations has clearly disturbed those who thrive on falsehoods,” she added.
According to Azma, some elements are disturbed due to CM’s successful Japan visit.
“By the grace of Almighty, Maryam Nawaz will continue to work for the progress of the people of Punjab,” she concluded.
