The new DG Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor has created a new twitter account with the handler @OfficialDGISPR after the outgoing DG ISPR Gen Asim Bajwa didn’t transferred his account to the new DG ISPR.
In the professional world it is a norm that after retirement the social media accounts are transferred. DG ISPR Asim Bajwa frequently used twitter account which was created on his own name, so people also preferred to follow his account rather than the official ISPR account.
Twitter also allows the user to change the name and handler of the account without any damage to the followers and previous tweets. Handler is the @ name which is used to identify accounts on the social media site.
Now DH ISPR Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor has created a new account which has 13,000 followers (till filling of this report) in comparison with Asim Bajwa’s 3 Million followers at @AsimBajwaISPR.
