A bewildered government is now engulfing diplomatic enclave into the political tensions prevailing in the country and the embassy under observation is none other than the USA embassy itself. Federal Minister Shireen Mazari asks for the person in the staff who is using Embassy’s twitter account to promote a party of the opposition of PTI gov. She has raised the question of the scrutiny of the visas of the staff as well.
American embassy is investigating the matter of a privacy laps on its twitter account. Someone not authorized approached into the account , used it and posted some material in favor of an opposition party of Pakistan.
The Embassy warned the audience in this way;
“U.S. Embassy Islamabad-@usembislamabad· Dear Followers: The U.S. Embassy Islamabad Twitter account was accessed last night without authorization. The U.S. Embassy does not endorse the posting or retweeting of political messages. We apologize for any confusion that may have resulted from the unauthorized post.”
Shireen Mazari retweeted the tweet with this comment;
” Shireen Mazari @ShireenMazari – This not good enough esp after great delay! Account was clearly not hacked so someone who had access to it used it “without authorisation”. Unacceptable that someone working in US Embassy pushing a particular pol party’s agenda – has serious consequences incl staff visas scrutiny.”
Here it is worth mentioning that it happens only after the victory of Mr Biden in USA Elections. Biden is said to be close with opposition parties PMLN and PPP of Pakistan.
