Islamabad:
Pakistan's interior minister Rehman Malik, who has taken to the social networking site Twitter with aplomb since last week, wants Union home minister P Chidambram to register on the website. Responding to a proposal from an Indian users that he should get Chidambaram to join the site, Malik wrote: " I agree with your suggestion. I highly recommend Twitter to my friend, college and counterpart Mr Chidambaram."
Malik joined the site after Pakistan imposed a ban on Facebook and YouTube due to " offensive" Content and blasphemous caricatures of Prophet Mohammad. Malik has been tweeting on divers topic like the colourful ties he wears and upholding the freedom of Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief Hafiz Saeed.
Malik said his son told him that if he couldn't get on Facebook, where he has his own page and 691 fans, he should tweet. He now has more than 350 followers on Twitter. Malik also uses Twitter to communicate with world leaders like David Miliband and Barack Obama.
