Former Sindh information minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has lamented the launching of a campaign on social media against public servants who recently performed functions as returning officers and district returning officers in the February 8 general elections.
In a statement issued on Monday, he said such a campaign sent a threatening message to the officers and personnel engaged in state service of Pakistan. He highly condemned the launching of the campaign on social media.
Memon mentioned that officers being targeted by the current campaign did have families and children. He said the dutiful government servants who were also parents of innocent children were being unduly threatened.
Orchestrating such a campaign on social media was tantamount to committing terrorism, said the former information minister.
He believed that trends introduced by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on social media were highly devastating and lethal for the country. He said that anti-state elements became the ultimate beneficiaries of such social campaigns that defamed the country.
