Tengku Zafrul says will seek to ‘correct errors’ in Zahid’s affidavit backing Najib’s bid for house arrest orderAccess to X has remained limited since the February 8 national election, which the party of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan says was rigged. — Reuters picISLAMABAD, April 18 — Pakistan ’s interior ministry said yesterday it had blocked access to social media platform X around the time of February’s election on national security concerns, confirming a long-suspected shutdown.
“It is very pertinent to mention here that the failure of Twitter/X to adhere to the lawful directives of the government of Pakistan and address concerns regarding the misuse of its platform necessitated the imposition of a ban,” the ministry said in its court submission, which was seen by Reuters.
Khan says Pakistan’s military was behind his ouster as prime minister in 2022 and that it helped his opponents form the current government, despite candidates backed by his party winning most seats in February’s election. The military denies this charge.Many government officials in Pakistan, notably Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, continue to use X — most likely through VPN software that bypasses the blocks.
