The PM Office’s previous official Twitter account, @PakPMO, was managed by the Digital Media Wing of the information ministry headed by Imran Ghazali. The account has 3.5 million followers. After the removal of the PTI government, the account was archived and renamed “Prime Minister’s Office (Aug’18 – Apr’22) Archived”. Giving his input about the digital archiving policy, former PM’s focal person on digital media, Dr Arsalan Khalid told that the official social media handles are “state’s property” and are attached with “.gov emails”. He further added that these accounts will follow the US archiving format. On the other hand, the former focal person for digital media, Azhar Mashwani, revealed that back in 2018, the PML-N government has also not handed over the govt accounts which is also a criminal offence. Whereas, the @PakPMO account represented the Imran Khan’s office and has been achieved as per global practice.
