Since the arrival of Twitter, the pattern of information spreading has wholly changed, and with the passage of time, the micro-blogging site has made its place in the world of social media.
With celebrities from almost all the scopes of life joining Twitter everyday, and news websites tweeting Breaking News on this very platform has made it rather easy to spread information.
The flow of raw information is fast and gets passed around for the fact since and no one has any time to cross check things.
With all this in regard, many celebrities’ accounts are being faked and openly parodied…
If you have been around on Twitter, you might have gone through fake accounts of filmstar Mira, late infamous model Qandeel Baloch and among politicians, Imran Khan, Bilawal Bhutto and Asif Zardari.
Latest in the lot, is a Parody Account of Prime Minister Pakistan’s proud daughter Maryam Nawaz who is also known to lead the media management efforts of her father’s party.
Though, she has an official Twitter handle under the title of @MaryamNSharif, it seems that she may have just met her match online. Her newest rival.
A parody account on Twitter called @MaryamNShehzadi that is breaking Pakistani Twitter with every passing day.
People regularly screenshot the account’s tweets and they get passed around any cross check.

Maryam Nawaz, firm believer of democracy. #SaveDemocracy
I thank MD PTV for muting the speech of Shah Mehmood Qureshi during NA session. PMLN govt will not tolerate any voice against democracy.

I have instructed my social media team to deactivate parody accounts of Imran Khan and Reham Khan after tasting my own medicine today. 🙁

1. My Parody Account— Maryam N Sharif (@MaryamNShehzadi) August 10, 2016
In a brilliant twist of N-ception, the account tries to turn everything on its head:

The post has even left famous flamboyant politician Sheikh Rasheed, as he tweets, “Is it true? Facebook owner has reacted to Maryam Safdar’s letter to block a Twitter account?”
