“PTI Criticizes Govt Over VPN Throttling Measures”

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has strongly condemned the government’s recent actions to throttle VPN (Virtual Private Network) services across the country. The opposition party has labeled the move as an infringement on digital rights and a step towards stifling free speech and privacy.

PTI leaders, including prominent spokespersons, have accused the government of restricting online freedoms by limiting access to VPN services, which are commonly used by individuals, businesses, and organizations to maintain privacy, secure online transactions, and bypass geo-restrictions. They argued that the throttling of VPN services is a deliberate attempt to control digital communication and suppress dissenting voices, especially those critical of the government.

In a statement, PTI emphasized that the decision to curtail VPN access directly affects journalists, activists, and others who rely on secure communication channels to conduct their work without the fear of surveillance. The party further criticized the lack of transparency in the government’s actions and called for the immediate reversal of the policy.

Opposition leaders also raised concerns over the growing censorship and the government’s control over online platforms, stressing that the move could potentially disrupt e-commerce, digital startups, and the growing IT sector in Pakistan.

Court Issues Arrest Warrants for Bushra Bibi in Toshakhana Case

In a significant development, a court has issued arrest warrants for Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, in connection with the ongoing Toshakhana case. The court took this step after Bushra Bibi repeatedly failed to appear for scheduled hearings, despite multiple summonses.

The Toshakhana case involves allegations that the former first lady unlawfully retained valuable gifts from foreign dignitaries without declaring them, a violation of government protocols. The court had earlier instructed Bushra Bibi to present herself for questioning, but her continued absence led to the issuance of arrest warrants.

Legal experts suggest that this action could further escalate the legal challenges facing the former ruling family. The arrest warrants have been issued in the context of mounting pressure on Imran Khan’s party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), as multiple members face legal scrutiny over corruption and other charges. The case remains a focal point in the political landscape, with critics accusing the government of political vendettas.

He emphasized that the government is fully prepared to prevent any such attempts, citing strict measures to maintain order and ensure that public safety is not compromised.
