WEB DESK: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf senior leadership challenged the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) summoned notice regarding a controversial tweet in the Islamabad High Court.
PTI Chairman Gohar Khan and Information Secretary Raoof Hassan filed a petition in the Islamabad High Court, stating that the purpose of the post from the PTI founder’s X account was to convey a message of unity for Pakistan.
Furthermore, the petition claims that the post aimed to encourage a national dialogue to resolve the country’s crisis and that political opponents misrepresented the post from the PTI founder’s X account.
According to the petition, the government machinery sprang into action, and a complaint was filed by the FIA Deputy Director, which seems like a decision without trial.
