Twitter suspends Pakistan's Defence's account

New Delhi, Nov 19 (IBNS):  Twitter on Saturday suspended the official account of Pakistan Defence for posting a morphed image of an Indian girl to promote its "anti-India rhetoric."


On Saturday, Pakistan Defence's verified Twitter handle @defencepk had posted an image of a young woman standing in front of Delhi's Jama Masjid with a placard.

The placard reportedly read: "I am an Indian but I hate India, because India is a colonial entity that has occupied nations such as Nagas, Kahmiris, Manipuris, Hyderabad, Junagarh, Sikkim, Mizoram, Goa."

Pakistan Defence had deleted the tweet some time later.

However, after receiving several complaints about the morphed photo, Twitter suspended the account.
