ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), which claims that Pakistan has become a laughingstock in the world due to the unjustified blocking of social media and the chain of oppression against its own citizens, has fully endorsed Amnesty International’s demand for the immediate restoration of social media platform X.
A party spokesman claimed that Pakistan has been given opportunities to be mocked by the international community due to the government’s daily, unjustified shutdown of the internet, particularly social media platforms, in order to hide information about the “mandate theft” in the general elections.
He claimed that over the previous 23 months, the Constitution was essentially suspended and that fundamental rights were being brazenly violated, according to the party’s media wing.
“X should be ashamed for being barred in this nation for more than a month. The PTI spokeswoman stated, “We totally support the demand of 28 civil society organizations for the immediate lifting of the social media platform ban, allowing free flow of information as should be the case in a democratic country.
He continued by saying that the “usurper and anti-constitutional” group’s first objective had been to kill journalists and freedom of expression.
He claimed that unbiased journalists and social media users had been the target of various cruel and coercive measures, such as forced disappearances and family blackmail.
He bemoaned the fact that attempts were being made to stifle press freedom and critical, reasonable voices in order to gain control over the media.
According to a PTI spokesman, the administration of the “people-rejected” PDM-2 persisted in violating every basic and constitutional right without concern about repercussions.
He made it abundantly evident that the government’ sudden and inexplicable shutdown of social networking sites violated both international law and Article 19 of the Constitution. He declared that PTI agreed with Amnesty International’s stance and called for the prompt reinstatement of social media platform “X.”
