ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spokesperson Sheikh Waqas Akram on Monday accused the government of targeting PTI’s social media activists and falsely linking them to fake accounts spreading hate against state institutions.
In a statement, Akram condemned the alleged abductions of PTI-affiliated youth, claiming they were being punished merely for amplifying the message of incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan. He said, “The government has made a mockery of the constitution by picking up young people whose only crime is supporting Imran Khan.”
Akram further criticized authorities for labeling dissenting voices as anti-state. “Whoever doesn’t follow your agenda is picked up and associated with India. These people are Pakistanis. They are the future of this country,” he said. He urged the government to focus on combating terrorism rather than cracking down on political opponents.
The PTI spokesperson also revealed that the party was in contact with other opposition groups to form a grand alliance. He said the alliance would launch public protests after Eid.
