Renowned guitarist and former prime minister Imran Khan's focal person on culture Salman Ahmad on Friday said that he has been served a notice by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) over ‘some cybercrime’, alleging that Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah's workers and his "Gullu Butts" are threatening him.

"I got a call from my family members who were worried about me that unknown cars are moving around our residence and some unknown persons are asking for me," he said in a video message posted on his official Twitter handle, adding that this has been happening for the last two weeks.

For the last two weeks, Salman said, many journalists including Imran Riaz Khan, Ayaz Amir, Jameel Farooqui and Sami Ibrahim as well as women and children are being threatened. "It feels likes there is no democracy in Pakistan but rather fascism," he added.

"If my family including my wife, children and other members are threatened then I will hold Rana Sanaullah, Hamza Shehbaz, Shehbaz Sharif and Maryam Sharif responsible," he warned.

Salman said that journalists, women, youth or artists who had sung songs such as Dil Dil Pakistan and Jazba Junoon were not safe in Pakistan today.

"If we don't reject this 'imported' government with unity, and if we don't vote against them then they will make our lives even more miserable," he concluded.
