Former human rights minister Shireen Mazari has termed it “farcical” that the interim IT minister was posting on social media site X about his “services” for the country while the platform remained inaccessible for “over five days”.

In a post on X, Mazari, while referring to interim IT minister Umar Saif, said, “The man is shameless.”

She said he “should have had the decency to keep quiet instead of using [a Virtual Private Network] to talk of ‘serving’ the people”.
