Following the announcement on Thursday by the Pakistani government that a two-month ban was in place due to security concerns, social media site X stated it would work with them “to understand its concerns.”

In their first remarks since the site’s disruption, X’s Global Government Affairs team stated, “We continue to work with the Pakistani Government to understand their concerns.”

After a government official admitted to manipulating votes in the February election, the PTI called for protests on February 17. Since then, the platform—formerly known as Twitter—has hardly been accessible.

According to a report given to the Islamabad High Court, where one of several challenges to the ban is being examined, the Interior Ministry stated on Wednesday that X was prohibited for security reasons.

The government was given a week to restore access to social networking site X by the Sindh High Court on the same day.

A lawyer opposing the ban, Moiz Jaaferi, told AFP that the government has been given a week by the Sindh High Court to retract the letter; if they don’t, they would issue the necessary instructions on the following date.

This week is when the court’s ruling is anticipated to be released.

According to the chairman of the Pakistan Ulema Council, the founder of the PTI directly caused his government’s downfall. With a conjecture, Ashrafi remarked, “Qamar Bajwa has been against him.”

The PTI founder would have continued as PM or elections would have taken place if the PTI had not resigned. According to Tahir Ashrafi, “If he was able to persuade the disgruntled MNAs, the situation had not gotten worse.”

With self-control, Ashrafi said, “what has happened did not happen.” “He was told by Qamar Bajwa not to resign, but the PTI’s founder believed Bajwa was against him based on false information,”

Upon being encouraged to speak, he revealed that Qamar Bajwa had teamed up with Shehbaz Sharif. The PUC head remarked, “Three days before his resignation, I told him that if the military was against you, I was not sitting with you.”

According to Ashrafi, the organisation provided the founder of the PTI with a list of the estranged MNAs along with recommendations on how to win them over. Because he was not meeting with them, twelve MNAs felt betrayed.

Foreign investors are now paying attention to Pakistan following the establishment of the SIFC, according to Tahir Ashrafi). “Friendly nations want to invest freely in Pakistan.” For attracting investment, the Army Chief and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif deserve all the praise, he continued.
