Following a request by the federal government, Twitter has suspended Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi’s official account on the social media platform on Sunday.
When one goes to the handle @KhadimRizviReal a notification “Account suspended” is shown.
Earlier in the day, Federal Minister of Human Rights Shireen Mazari complained that Twitter had refused to comply with the government’s request to block Rizvi’s account.
Rizvi had critisised state institutions including the government, military and the judiciary on numerous occasions, most notably after a failed round of negotiations between the TLP and the government.
The government has claimed that the TLP was using Rizvi’s account and several other accounts on social media to spread misinformation about the Aasia Bibi case, as well as inciting workers to violence against state institutions.
