A social media activist, Sarmad Sultan, who used to tweet about history and politics and was critical of the establishment, has mysteriously gone missing. His Twitter account with 40k followers was also taken down some 24 hours ago.
Pakistan Muslim League - N (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz alleged that Sarmad was 'picked up' for his views. In a tweet, she said that this system where people with alternative views are abducted in broad daylight is precisely what she is fighting.
