The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) said that the disruption in internet services in the country on Saturday evening was caused by a technical fault.
In a post on X, the telecom regulator said the fault has been “promptly rectified” and internet services have been fully restored nationwide.

It is pertinent to mention here that social media platforms became inaccessible around 6:45 pm and were not accessible till 10:00 pm.
X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube were among the social media platforms that face disruption in Pakistan. This was the third time in just over a month that social media platforms became temporarily unavailable in the country.

Unfortunately that technical fault was PTI’s Virtual Jalsa. And technical fault was only for YouTube and all the social media platforms… Rest of the internet was working absolutely fine!
Netblocks never mentioned any political reason behind this in the past for censorship in 2018 elections, but for the first time they’re mentioning that one political party is beibg victimised. International estbl. is on the back of this party.
Humko maalom hai PTA masoom hai
The technical fault created at the same time when they PTI virtual conference will be started, Shame PTA
Shameless, gutless response by a national level regulatory authority. What a shame.
Infection is spreading in every institution , no matter how big or small. And we very well know the source of infection, and also the cure .
