Journalist Asad Ali Toor was on Friday interrogated for nearly eight hours by Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials in connection with allegations of a “malicious campaign” against the superior judiciary in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision to deprive PTI of its iconic ‘bat’ symbol before elections.

The interrogation happened despite the Attorney General for Pakistan assuring the Supreme Court last month that the FIA would not take action before the general election on the notices sent to journalists. The apex court had adjourned the hearing in the case till the first week of March.

A day ago, the government and the legal community came out against a “malicious and slanderous campaign” against CJP Isa based on a decision of the Supreme Court, saying that some elements had used completely false and forged information to incite violence and hatred. Talking about the campaign against the chief justice, caretaker Information Minister Murtaza Solangi had said that social media platforms like X, YouTube, Instagram had their responsibilities and if they were unable to contain such activities, the government had the right to take appropriate action.
