Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s official Arabic language Twitter account, which was created yesterday (June 6), was suspended soon after its launch by the micro-blogging website.
The Current reached out to Prime Minister’s Focal Person on Digital Media Abubakar Umer to ask about the suspension of the account.
“The account is back online. It was temporarily suspended because Twitter wanted to verify the identity. The account has claimed that it is the official prime minister’s account. So Twitter just wanted to make sure that PM’s office is running the account. We have provided the photo id and they have restored it,” Abubakar Umer told The Current.
PM’s Arabic Twitter account was created on Monday to strengthen our bond and engagement with the brotherly people of Arab countries.
