FIA Calls Sher Afzal Marwat Over Controversial Tweets

PTI leader and newly elected National Assembly member Sher Afzal Marwat received a summons from the Cybercrime Wing of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Friday, scheduled for March 18, regarding a tweet he posted on March 9. The summons was issued following a complaint filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MNA Barrister Aqeel Malik, although the specific tweet in question was not disclosed.

One of Marwat’s tweets raised concerns about an alleged assassination attempt orchestrated by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, stating that she posed a threat to his life and had planned an assassination attempt, purportedly allocating $100,000 for this purpose.

He also commemorated the death anniversary of party worker Ali Bilal, also known as Zille Shah, who died under suspicious circumstances the previous year.

The exact nature of the complaint and the content of the tweet that prompted it were not specified in the reports.
