Federal Investigation Agency's (FIA) former director general Bashir Memon has alleged that during his tenure, he was summoned to the "highest office" and was told to file a terrorism case against members of PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz's social media cell after a picture of the first lady was circulated on social media.

Memon had resigned on November 20, 2019, days before he was supposed to retire as a mark of protest against being posted out close to his retirement date.

In an interview with journalist Matiullah Jan, the first part of which was uploaded on the latter's YouTube channel on Monday, Memon said: "There was a picture on social media, regarding which they [said] that a terrorism case should be filed. It was a picture of the first lady [uploaded] on social media. How is this terrorism? There is a definition of terrorism in law. It was a normal picture, how was that terrorism?"
