The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Cyber Crime Circle in Lahore has summoned Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shandana Gulzar for questioning on March 14, following accusations of slandering state institutions and government officials on social media platforms.

The summons come in response to allegations against Gulzar for making derogatory remarks against state and government figures, as well as inciting people to revolt through her social media posts.

Specifically, Gulzar is accused of implicating Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif in an audio leak scandal. In the alleged audio recording, references were made to a deceased PTI worker, Zille Shah.

The accusations against Gulzar have been brought forward by PML-N activist Shoaib Mirza, who filed an application against her, alleging her involvement in defamatory activities against government officials and institutions.

The FIA Cyber Crime Circle has taken notice of these allegations and has summoned Shandana Gulzar for questioning on March 14 to further investigate the matter.

Azma demands proof

Earlier, Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari had also commented on the case, saying taking care of the sanctity of the assembly was the duty of every member. "Shandana Gulzar is insulting Pakistan. These are the actions of PTI's political vultures," she remarked while talking to the media.

She stressed that the PTI had always done politics on dead bodies, and demanded the PTI "vultures" stop these actions. She also demanded evidence of Shandana's allegations against Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.

"An application for registration of an FIR against Shandana Gulzar has been submitted. Now, neither a woman card nor political card will be allowed to be used," she explained.
