An undated video has been making the rounds online, showing an unidentified individual putting up posters featuring incarcerated former premier Imran Khan’s image, along with the Urdu text “main wapas aa raha hoon” (I’m coming back), across various directional signboards in Lahore.
In the 51-second clip, which has now gone viral, an unknown man wearing a black cap and black trousers can be seen putting up the poster on multiple directional signboards around the city.
Some of the apparent locations where the posters were put up include signs reading “Sharif Medical City Road,” “Jati Umra Chowk,” and “Raiwind City.”
The video has stirred some debate online, with many netizens expressing concern that the posters could obscure important road directions.
A user asked on X (formerly Twitter), “Poster in jagon ke bajai kaheen aur lagai toh acha nahee? aisa toh aik din pura shehr ganda hojai ga. (Wouldn’t it be better to put posters somewhere else instead of these places? Otherwise, one day the whole city will become dirty).
One social media user wrote, “This is wrong; it should be stopped. Posting posters on traffic signs is a crime.” Another netizen slammed, “Why is there litter everywhere? This message can be conveyed more appropriately and respectfully.”
“Itny choty sey poster se lag raha hai k Khan bs a hi jayega (Such a small poster makes it seem like Khan will arrive any moment now.),” quipped another user, with one netizen mocked, “Imran Khan’s picture has been placed in the wrong spot. It should have been put on the U-turn sign.”
Meanwhile, one user asked, “Why is he hiding his face while putting up the posters?” with another urging authorities to take legal action against those who damage signboards.
