PTI refuses to hand over the passwords of the PM office twitter handle to PM Shahbaz Sharif

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf has refused to hand over the twitter account of the Prime Minister office to the newly elected PM Shahbaz Sharif.

Shahbaz Sharif has to face difficulties as it was not handed over the PM Office’s official Twitter handle, by the previous government.

The new government has to create a new Twitter handle — @PMO_PK link — for the PM Office to provide information to the people as the PTI had denied access to the digital media assets of the state.

It is pertinent to mention here that the digital assets are owned by the Government of Pakistan.

The PM Office’s previous official Twitter account, @PakPMO link, was managed by the Digital Media Wing of the information ministry headed by Imran Ghazali. The account has 3.5 million followers.

After the removal of the PTI government, the account was archived and renamed “Prime Minister's Office (Aug'18 - Apr'22) Archived”.
