Former PTI media coordinator publicly apologizes to Nawaz Sharif for slandering campaign
Javed Badar, a former media coordinator for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has issued a public apology to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif for what he described as “spreading false narratives and slanderous accusations” during his tenure with the Imran Khan-led party.
In an open letter, Badar expressed profound regret for his actions and sought forgiveness from Nawaz Sharif, his family, and his political party. He stated that his apology was motivated by personal reflection and accountability before God. “This letter is written purely out of fear of the hereafter and the voice of my conscience, without any pressure or temptation,” he noted.

Badar admitted to fabricating propaganda and filing baseless cases that tarnished the reputation of Nawaz Sharif and his family. Reflecting on these actions, he remarked, “Allah’s justice has restored Nawaz Sharif’s honour and position,” while condemning the imprisonment of the PML-N leader based on false charges.
The former PTI official highlighted several reasons for his disillusionment with the party, including the appointment of Usman Buzdar as Punjab’s chief minister and allegations of corruption under the influence of Bushra Bibi, the wife of PTI founder Imran Khan. “I left PTI when corruption was openly allowed under Bushra Bibi’s watch,” he wrote.
Badar also accused the PTI government of damaging Pakistan’s economy, straining international relations, and inciting rebellion against the military. Additionally, he acknowledged the negative impact of PTI’s policies on young supporters and the nation’s political climate. “We in PTI have poisoned Pakistani politics and confused young minds, a mistake for which we will pay the price for generations,” he admitted.
He lauded Nawaz Sharif’s leadership and credited his team, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, for bringing stability to Pakistan and improving diplomatic relations. “Your leadership has brought stability to Pakistan,” Badar praised.
In his apology, Badar extended his regrets to the nation and parents of PTI supporters, admitting that the party misled the youth. He confirmed the authenticity of his letter to Geo News, adding that he hopes to meet Nawaz Sharif in person to apologise directly. “If I ever meet Nawaz Sharif, I will admit my mistakes to him directly,” he stated.
Javed Badar concluded his message by taking full responsibility for his actions, vowing to face the consequences of his past decisions.
