Several Pak journos, vloggers booked for ‘false army claims’ – The Tribune

Pakistan government on Friday booked dozens of journalists and vloggers, including a first Pakistani Sikh TV anchor, for allegedly propagating false claims against the army in connection with the deaths of supporters of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) alleged that the journalists and vloggers fanned provincialism, supported the ongoing campaign to boycott of army products and raised questions on the alleged killings of Khan’s supporters during the November 26 protests. The development comes days after authorities booked 150 suspects and arrested 22 of them, mostly belonging to Khan’s party, for allegedly propagating against the army on social media.
