The official Twitter handle of Pakistan’s Embassy in Serbia on Friday criticised the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government over record-breaking inflation and alleged non-payment of salaries for the past months.
However, the Foreign Office spokesperson, in a tweet, stated that Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts of the country’s mission in Belgrade were “hacked”.

The tweet by the verified account of the embassy mentioned Prime Minister Imran Khan, asking how long does he expect the government officials to remain silent in the face of hyperinflation. “Is this Naya Pakistan,” the tweet questioned.
In a second tweet, the official account of the embassy said that they were sorry but they were left with no option to air their reservations on a public forum.
Responding to the tweet by the embassy, PM’s digital media aide, Dr Arslan Khalid also said that the account was “hacked”. He cited the Foreign Office as his source for the news.
