PTA takes down fake Twitter handles imitating army officers

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has blocked two fake Twitter handles associated with two retired officers of the Pakistan Army, promoting narrative of a political party.

According to sources, the Twitter accounts of Major General (retd) Faisal Mushtaq and Major General (retd) Asghar turned out to be fake.

The accounts are being run by a political party and are involved in promoting a particular narrative.

The sources reveal that the accounts give an impression that a particular party is being supported within the army.

The PTA has blocked both accounts and legal action is being taken against those running them.
