The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has once again sought responses from Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) chief Manzoor Pashteen and MNAs Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir in a case pertaining to maligning state institutions.
The court on Monday also issued notices to the interior secretary, defence secretary, law secretary, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) and the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) for a second time. Justice Amir Farooq of the IHC directed the director general of internet protocol to personally appear before the court.
In last hearing, Barrister Shoaib had pleaded the court to pass ruling to ban PTM leaders’ social media accounts and slap ban on the party, as it was unregistered and involved in creating anti-state sentiments in the country.
