Minister Attaullah Tarar from the Information and Broadcasting Ministry announced that the government will decide on legal action against PTI once the FIA completes its inquiry into the party’s social media activity. The FIA summoned PTI leaders for the alleged misuse of Imran Khan’s account to spread content against state institutions. The video shared on Imran’s account highlighted the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report and accused military leadership of wrongdoing. Tarar emphasized the seriousness of the FIA inquiry and the possible legal action.
Tarar also mentioned the possibility of legal action under PECA, 2016, against incitement to mutiny. He criticized the PTI for creating political instability through harmful statements and actions, leading to a full-blown campaign against the government. When asked about negotiating with the PTI, Tarar dismissed the idea, accusing the party of inconsistency. He reiterated the government’s stance to not engage in negotiations with PTI and urged them to resolve their issues in court. The situation highlights the ongoing tensions between the government and PTI over social media activities and calls for legal action.
