He tweeted this on the 12th of October, he was arrested by FIA, and then he was released subsequently. However, contrary to popular belief, on his release instead of deleting his old anti-army tweets he tweeted again, only that this time it was an entire thread of 15 tweets all of them stating the name of Pakistan Army's Ex-COAS.

The entire Nation knows by now, the extent of Extrajudicial Punishment given to me while addressing you by name, in a constitutionally protected tweet by a senior citizen and sitting senator. (1/12)
As expected he was arrested again but he secured bail. Then on his release unexpectedly he slammed the Ex-COAS again by tweeting another thread of 6 tweets, all of them directly addressing Ex-COAS, General Bajwa.
