The official Facebook page of the chief advisor of the interim government has been taken down. The press wing–run WhatsApp group has also been formally shut down.
In a statement on Wednesday on behalf of the erstwhile interim administration chief Muhammad Yunus, the press wing said the verified Facebook page with 4.4 million followers would no longer remain active.
“Thank you! The official page of the chief advisor of the interim government will no longer remain active. We sincerely thank everyone for their support, interest, and participation over the past 18 months. Your support, cooperation, and criticism have made our journey more valuable and enriching,” the statement read.
Earlier on Tuesday, the press wing announced the closure of its WhatsApp group following the end of the chief advisor’s tenure. The message said more than 850 journalists from home and abroad had joined the platform over the past 18 months, and it served as an effective communication channel for quickly sharing key state decisions, policy announcements, and updates related to elections and reforms.
According to the press wing, with the end of the tenure, the formal communication platform has also been shut down.
The interim government’s tenure ended with the transfer of power to the new administration following the Feb 12 elections. After the end of the tenure, the chief advisor’s social media and media coordination platforms have been closed in phases.
