According to the petitioner, the tweet from founder PTI’s Twitter account was distorted by political opponents, the government machinery is set in motion, a complaint is filed on behalf of the Deputy Director of FIA, the complaint said. As the tweet is said to have incited armed forces personnel to revolt, the Deputy Director’s complaint appears not to be a complaint but a decision without a trial.

He requested that the court should declare the complaint and summons notices null and void, and the parties should be restrained from arresting or harassing the petitioners till the hearing of the petition.

The notice said that by provocation, the public can also be incited to take the law into their hands.
It should be remembered that the FIA had started an investigation into the issue of sharing the video of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman from the X account of Imran Khan, who, why and how shared the video from the X account of the jailed PTI founder while The former prime minister had refused to meet the FIA team on the issue.
It should be noted that on May 26, Imran Khan’s official account shared a video comparing the current political situation to the collapse of Dhaka with the statement attributed to him that ‘Every Pakistani should read and know the Hamud-ur-Rehman Commission report. Who was the real traitor, General Yahya Khan or Sheikh Mujibur Rahman?
The video cited alleged atrocities committed by the Pakistani military, arguing that the former military dictator was actually responsible for the country’s disintegration during the civil war.
The video also juxtaposed images of the current civilian and military leadership, accusing them of stealing the party’s mandate in the general election. Defending the post, Barrister Gauhar had previously insisted that the message was making a political point and was not aimed at the military.
