Pak approaches FB, Twitter over suspension of accounts on Kashmir


Islamabad, Aug 18 (IANS): Pakistani officials on Sunday said they have taken up the suspension of Pakistani social media accounts that posted messages in support of Kashmir with social networking giants Facebook and Twitter, local media reported.

"Pakistan authorities have taken up the case with Twitter and Facebook against suspending Pakistani accounts for posting in support of Kashmir," Director General (DG) Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor was quoted as saying by the Dawn.

Ghafoor reportedly urged social media users to share information about accounts that have been suspended already.

He also added that the reason behind the suspension of social media accounts was Indian employees working at the regional headquarters of the social media giants.

Facebook has the highest number of fact-checking partners in India, followed by the US, said data from the Poynter Institute, according to the report.

    Looks like Pakistan is in a deep shit after Art. 370. They are going restless. I think Pak should first take care of its internal problems than think about Kashmir.

    Pakistan has lost his only beloved child... Now running pillar to post desperately , making their public to believe some kind of alien monster has kidnapped it.
    Until now they used to make fun of the assumed monster.. Now they are really scared of him.
    Now its better they come to terms with the reality. And their beloved child is much safer now than before.. Calm the ordinary Pakistanis by saying Modi is the real Master and not the assumed monster.
