ISLAMABAD (PEN) : The Ministry of Interior on Wednesday told the Islamabad High Court (IHC) that content uploaded on the internet is a threat to the country’s national security.
The Interior Ministry joint secretary’s comments came during a hearing on journalist Ehtesham Abbasi’s petition against the closure of X, formerly known as Twitter.
X, which is an important source of information, has been inaccessible in Pakistan to millions of users for more than a month now, since its suspension on February 17.
During today’s hearing, the Interior Ministry’s joint secretary appeared before IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq who was hearing the plea and submitted a report in the court.
