ЁЯЪл FACT CHECK: This Tweet Contains Misinformation

Claim: Mushahid Sb, Security clearances for such positions are currently handled by the IB and ISI. While the IB processes clearances at a reasonable pace, the ISI is notoriously slow, often overstepping its mandate and interfering in nearly every domain. Even in the case of Pakistani nationals, the process involves unnecessary bureaucracyтАФindividuals are called in for interviews and subjected to humiliating treatment. This approach must be reconsidered. Moreover, intelligence officials frequently conduct intrusive home visits and carry out investigations in a manner more fitting for law enforcement, which is both unprofessional and unnecessary. It is high time the entire clearance system was overhauled to ensure efficiency, respect, and professionalism.
