A resolution calling for a permanent ban on the social media platform TikTok has been submitted in the Punjab Assembly. The resolution was moved by opposition lawmaker Farrukh Javed, according to assembly sources.
The text of the resolution alleges that the TikTok “mafia” in Pakistan is promoting vulgarity and obscenity, particularly through its live chat feature. It claims that the application is encouraging inappropriate conversations among young users, especially children, and drawing them toward immoral behavior.
The resolution further states that TikTok is luring the younger generation into a culture of cheap fame and money, which, it argued, poses serious risks to societal values. It emphasized that such trends are not acceptable in an Islamic society and that decisive steps must be taken to protect the moral fabric of the nation.
Calling for immediate action, the resolution urged the Provincial Assembly to press the federal government to impose a permanent ban on TikTok and its live chat option. The stated objective is to safeguard children and youth from what the resolution describes as moral collapse.
The matter will now be taken up for discussion within the assembly.

After banning Temo and now Tick-Tock, its anti china actions
Do it . 😆 🤣 😂 😹 china is going to teach you a good lesson.
Maybe don’t use phone. Go back to using TV.
Funny how these toothless are triggered by tiktok but ok with youtube Facebook
Let’s send farrukh javed to Nepal . He should remember what happens when you try to ban social media
It is commendable that someone has taken notice of it atleast, verna to log china ko khuda man bhaitay hain k un ki kisi product k khilaf koi baat na karay. The last time government requested, tiktok banned million of accounts and content. Maybe that action should happen again against those who are promoting vulgarity.
Why do you use YouTube or Google? Ban them then
Vulgarity should be condemned whenever and wherever it appears. I’m not talking about banning TikTok, Google, or YouTube. All I’m saying is that the government should ask TikTok to remove inappropriate content from its platform, just as it should be removed from all other platforms accessible in Pakistan.
