Interior Minister Ch Nisar expresses displeasure over tweets by state institution

Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar said state institutions responding through tweets did not bode well for the country’s democracy.

“It was only a reference issued in lieu of the briefing given to the prime minister,” Nisar told reporters at a press conference in Karachi.

“A notification on the issue is yet to be issued by the interior ministry,” he added.

“There are several issues of great importance and it’s unfortunate that they are being dealt with through tweets. State institutions don’t communicate with each other through tweets. It’s poisonous for democracy.”

Nisar said the interior ministry would issue a notification in line with the recommendations of the inquiry board. “Nobody is being protected in the [Dawn Leaks] inquiry .”


Earlier Pakistan Army rejected the notification issued by the Prime Minister’s Office on Dawn Leaks, terming it incomplete and not in line with recommendations by the inquiry board.

The tweet came minutes after the PM’s office released a notice stating the inquiry committee’s recommendations had been accepted.
