Pakistan
Says social media can't be allowed to thrive without rules and regulations
LAHORE (Dunya News) - Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari said on Monday the chief minister of a province was waging war on another province, and the federation would suffer in case of rift.
Speaking to media in the Lahore High Court, she berated KP CM Ali Amin Gandapur for his actions and threatening statements against the Punjab government.
The Punjab minister clarified that she wasn’t in favour of a governor-led government in the KP but the current deteriorating law and order situation and rise in terrorism incidents suggested so.
Bokhari criticised the KP CM who had no concern for the province.
She suggested that children in KP must have laptops in their hands but "you have misled them are creating rift between them and police".
The information minister highlighted that she wasn’t given relief nor was her video removed from social media, indicating a case pertaining to a fake video of her on social media.
She alleged that this chaotic group was being operated from abroad and their IDs had been blocked in the first phase. Now their properties would be confiscated, she added.
Later, Azma Bokhari emphasised the need for monitoring social media. She said social media could not be allowed to thrive without check.
She said social media monitoring laws had been promulgated across the world but the government in Pakistan had not signed any agreement regarding social media monitoring so far.
