Karachi: Former president and PTI leader Dr Arif Alvi on Tuesday apologised for his post on X, regarding an old video of PTI’ convoy leading to Islamabad.

He said that he shared an old video that was recorded on some other occasion.

"After a fact check, I have deleted two posts, as they were images from a previous occasion. I apologise for the error,” he said on X.
