Earlier in December 2014, the official Twitter accounts of JuD and its chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed were suspended by Twitter without any prior warning or notification.

The group blamed India for putting pressure on the micro blogging website to suspend its accounts.

Abu Zakir | 9 years ago | Reply What sense can you make of this move to suspend @FIFPakistan ? No apparent reason. The group does not violate any Twitter rules, unless there is some unwritten rule that forbids bearded ppl from helping others in distress.

Salman | 9 years ago | Reply Shame on Freedom of Expression advocates who remain silent when a charity org accounts gets suspended for no reason.

Muhammad Waqas Abdullah | 9 years ago | Reply It is a shameful act by Twitter administration to suspend the account of a charity which is always the first to come forward for relief activities in disasters and has a devoted and well experienced staff for relief activities, not only on local but international scale.

Zakariya Haider | 9 years ago | Reply What on God's earth a twitter account of a relief organisation could have done wrong! I mean come on, I see double standards & biasness at its peak. Its a global social media platform, you have accounts of porn stars up & runing there spreading sexual violence & causing increase in the rate of rape in the west, but nobody gives a dam about them! So why a humanitarian NGO got there twitter accounts suspended EVEN withoutwat any prior warning! That is very clear to us that the chants of free speech & freedom of speech of the west are for there own agendas & gains! #BringBackFiF #IAmFIFPakistan

salaar | 9 years ago | Reply FIF is a trademark when it comes to reaching out to disaster sites, relief and rehabilitation services. They have constructed hundreds of wells, waterprojects, solar panels and provided shelters to improvished people. Whenever there is a terrorist attack, FIF reches out to help victims. Twitter has proved to be biased, dual standard social network, yet again.
