IT Minister, Syed Aminul Haque, has voiced his support in favor of Fawad Chaudhry, who had asked him to end the ban on PUBG Mobile. Aminul Haque has said that he is against any restrictions that hinder the growth of any industry.
The MQM lawmaker, however, said that the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) comes under the Cabinet Division and that IT Ministry has nothing to do with the ban.
PTA temporarily banned the game on 1st July, terming the game dangerous for youngsters as it incites violence and has already taken a number of lives due to suicides.
