ISLAMABAD – A controversial resolution has landed in the Senate seeking a permanent ban on all social media platforms in Pakistan over a nefarious agenda creating a split in society.
PPP Senator Bahramand Tangi moved the resolution, calling for a ban on major social media platforms and the house will discuss the matter in upcoming session on March 4.
The resolution said social sites are adversely affecting the young generation in the country, and these platforms are being used for the promotion of norms against our religion and culture, creating hatred amongst the people on the grounds of language and religion.
The resolution stated that there were concerns about the use of social media platforms against the interests of the country through negative and malicious propaganda against the armed forces of Pakistan.
It mentioned promoting fake leadership in the country to mislead the young generation.
Earlier, Pakistan Peoples Party sacked Senator Tangi’s basic membership of the party for violating the party discipline and not responding to a show-cause notice issued to him over his silence on a resolution seeking a delay in the February 8 polls.
