Social media erupted in controversy after users claimed that Imran Khan’s sons, Qasim Khan and Suleiman Khan, consumed pork during a meeting with US officials, allegations that were later linked to a fake menu circulating online.

The controversy began shortly after the Khan brothers were seen meeting US political figures as part of a campaign to advocate for their father’s release from prison.

They are currently lobbying for Imran Khan’s political rights and urging the Pakistani government to free the former prime minister.

On July 24 Qasim and Suleiman met with several prominent American politicians, including former US Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, who has publicly criticised Imran Khan’s incarceration in Adiala Jail.

They also met with multiple US Congress members including Gregory Meeks, Bill Huizenga, Jim Costa, Joe Wilson, Ted Lieu, Andy Harris, and Brad Sherman.

Following these meetings, some PML-N supporters and other social media users began circulating a photo of a dinner, claiming the meat on the plate was pork. The photo was allegedly taken during the Khan brothers’ visit to the Capitol Hill Club, a well-known restaurant for political gatherings.

PTI supporters were quick to dismiss the claims, stating that the meat in question was turkey while others suggested it was beef carpaccio. It was unclear what kind of meat was on the plate.

Amid the online debate, an image of a menu supposedly from the Capitol Hill Club also began circulating. At the bottom of the menu, it falsely stated that the restaurant “does not serve halal or kosher food.”

However, a fact-checking website later debunked the viral post, confirming that the menu was fabricated. The official menu available on the Capitol Hill Club’s website contained no such disclaimer, and the viral version had been digitally altered.
