IHC CJ to summon interior secretary on X (Twitter) blockade case

ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice Islamabad High Court Justice Aamer Farooq on Wednesday hinted at summoning the interior secretary in the social media platform X (Twitter) blockade case.

The top judge passed the remarks while hearing a plea of Ihtisham Abbasi against the suspension of X services in Pakistan. At the outset of the hearing, the joint interior secretary apprised the IHC CJ that X services have been suspended on the report of security institutions.

Justice Aamer Farooq showed resentment over the conduct of the joint interior secretary.

Show a report and avoid speaking in the court, the IHC CJ remarked. He added that I can make a stronger speech than you, but we need documents and proofs on which X services have been blocked.
