After cricketer-turned-politician and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chairman Imarn Khan registered victory in the general elections of Pakistan, a news came up on the social media that Delhi Chief Arvind Kejriwal visited Islamabad to congratulate him.
A facebook user Indrajeet Mandal shared a photo of Arvind Kejriwal with Imran and wrote “the Prime Minister of reached Islamabad to congratulate. Rascal and traitor ‘Khujliwal”.

Actually this particular photo was clicked when Khan visited India. In March 2016, Khan met Kejriwal at his residence in Delhi. It was Khan who presented a bouquet to the CM, revealed a fact-checker website SMHoaxSlayer.
About the meeting of duo, English daily Telegraph noted “Four months after meeting Narendra Modi, Imran Khan called on the Prime Minister’s bête noire, Arvind Kejriwal. Imran, who heads Pakistan’s fast-growing Tehreek-e-Insaaf party, met the Delhi chief minister for around an hour at his 6 Flag Staff Road residence in the Civil Lines area on Sunday evening. To no one’s surprise, the Imran-Kejriwal meeting attracted plenty of attention from the national capital’s media corps. Imran, in fact, had sought an appointment via this Reporter. Around 11.00 pm on Saturday, Kejriwal’s OSD, Nagender Sharma, confirmed the appointment at Imran’s preferred time of 7.00 pm or so.”
