Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s Arabic Twitter account has been suspended. The prime minister’s digital media focal person, Abu Bakar Omar, told the BBC that steps were being taken to reinstate the account.
Regarding the reason for the suspension, the Prime Minister’s focal person said that if the account was created in the Prime Minister’s name, then Twitter wants to ensure that it is run from the Prime Minister’s office. Account maintenance measures are underway. A photo ID is sent to Twitter, after which the account will be restored.
