The Pakistan government has declared former army officer Adil Raja, a supporter of Imran Khan and a staunch opponent of Asim Munir, as a terrorist for spreading the narrative against the country. Pakistan’s Home Ministry said this week that the Pakistani government has declared Adil Raja a banned person under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Adil Raja is a former Pakistani military officer, who is currently a Britain-based blogger and comments on Pakistan’s politics through YouTube. Raja has been a strong critic of the Pakistani government and army. An allegation is also made against Adil Raja that he adopts a biased stance towards former Pakistan PM Imran Khan.

Mohsin Naqvi met the British High Commissioner

According to Arab News, Pakistani officials allege that Adil Raja was running a propaganda campaign against Pakistan while sitting abroad. In this series, Pakistan Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi met British High Commissioner Jane Marriott in Islamabad this month and formally handed over the documents related to the extradition of Adil Raja. However, no comment has been made on this yet by the British Government.

Pakistan’s Home Ministry issued a statement

Pakistan’s Home Ministry said in a statement issued on Saturday (December 27, 2025) that the government believes that Adil Raja has been involved in activities that pose a serious threat to the security, integrity and public order of Pakistan.

The statement said, ‘They have continuously misused online platforms to promote, facilitate and amplify anti-national narratives and propaganda associated with banned terrorist organizations, thereby carrying out actions against the sovereignty and security of Pakistan. Therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 11EE of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997, the Government of Pakistan directs that Adil Raja be included as a banned person in the Fourth Schedule of the Act.’
