Although he has stepped down from his party position, Mr. Babar will continue to serve as the president of the human rights cell of PPP.

This decision follows a call from PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto during a convention in Chitral, urging senior leadership to relinquish their roles.

Earlier this month the senior leader Dr. Farhatullah Babar had tweeted and cleared the air about an X—formally Twitter—account impersonating and circulating false and baseless claims under their name.

The fabricated X account tweets falsely assert that Dr Farhatullah has joined another political party.  Dr Farhatullah Babar expressed profound disappointment and condemnation.

He tweeted: “A fake Twitter account is circulating on my name with the absurd, false claim that I have joined some other political party. I am saddened and strongly condemn this vile and nefarious act, if someone has a good understanding, he should take this idea out of his heart for his own good.”
