Addressing the Provincial Assembly in Balochistan, Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti called for strict legislative action against coordinated online campaigns against elected representatives. Opposition leader Mir Younas echoed these sentiments, referring to the “Balochistan Leaks” social media page as a propaganda tool that is propagating defamatory claims against Baloch politicians. The Speaker of the Provincial Assembly also took a firm stance, and directed the regional head of the FIA to conduct a formal inquiry into online campaigns maligning elected officials. The aforementioned Balochistan Leaks website characterizes itself as providing “investigative reports” on the misallocation of funds in development projects in Balochistan.
