New Delhi: The Pakistani mission in Argentina on Wednesday denied the message which was posted on its Instagram account that slammed the Imran Khan-led Pakistani government, calling for 'political substitution in Islamabad'.
The message said, "We may lose out on the JF 17 deal with Argentina also. The political substitution in Islamabad may lead to the revival of Pakistan’s reliability and credibility. Diplomats can’t be la raison for failures".
In a major blow to the Pakistani government, its embassy in Argentina posted a picture of Imran Khan and other senior officials in its official Instagram account, calling for the political substitution in Islamabad for the revival of the country's credibility and reliability.
The message was later deleted.
However, the Pakistan embassy in Argentina has claimed that the Instagram account has been hacked and the messages being passed through the account are not from their side.
Taking to Twitter, the embassy said, "The Instagram account of the Embassy of Pakistan in Argentina (@PakinArgentina) has been hacked and has been reported to Instagram. Please note that all messages being passed through this account are not from the Embassy of Pakistan in Argentina".
This comes days after the Twitter account of the Pakistani embassy in Serbia criticized the Imran Khan government. The tweet, which was later deleted, said, "With inflation breaking all previous records, how long do you expect @ ImranKhanPTI, that we government official will remain silent and keep working for you without being paid for past three months and our children been forced out of school due to non-payment of fees. Is this # NayaPakistan? ’.
Later, Pakistan's foreign ministry issued a statement and said that the account was hacked.
The JF17 fighter jets have been jointly developed by Islamabad and Beijing, and have been used by the Pakistani air force. Myanmar and Nigeria are the two countries that have ordered JF17s.
According to reports, Argentina was in talks with Pakistan to buy its JF17 fighter jets.
