Maleeka Ali Bokhari, a former Parliamentary Secretary for Law and Justice in Pakistan, has recently been targeted by deep fake propaganda that has caused outrage on social media. The videos, which have gone viral on platforms like Twitter and Reddit, feature a woman in an indecent position, and there have been unconfirmed reports linking Maleeka to the footage.

Maleeka served in Pakistan’s National Assembly from August 2018 to January 2023, representing the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. She was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Law and Justice by Prime Minister Imran Khan in September 2018, and received praise for her excellent work and large following.

As the videos sparked new discussions, many people took to Twitter to show their support for Maleeka. However, there were also concerns about the impact of such propaganda on women in politics, with many comparing it to the attacks on former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

Maleeka has since broken her silence on the issue, stating that she will not rest until those who promoted the malicious campaign against her are brought to justice. As a lawyer and advocate for women’s rights, she recognizes the importance of fighting against such attacks and protecting the dignity of women in public life.

The incident has once again highlighted the dangers of deep fake technology and the need for greater awareness and safeguards against its misuse. It also serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by women in politics and the importance of standing up against gender-based violence and discrimination.
