The government has urged all concerned to refrain from spreading all kinds of propaganda through social media to protect the image of the country.
“Action will be taken against those, who are found involved with spreading propaganda on social media,” an official release said on Tuesday.
According to BSS, the government issued the statement as it noticed that untrue, fabricated, misleading and provocative statements about the government, public representatives, army officers, police officers and members of the law enforcement agencies are being spread through various social media.
The government thinks urgent legal action needs to be taken against the perpetrators for continuation of existing peaceful environment, the official release said.
