In a bold move, Pakistan Muslim League (N) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique has openly opposed the nationwide ban on the social media platform “X,” calling for its immediate lift. In a message posted on X, Rafique emphasized the need to revoke the ban on Twitter (X), stating that it has yielded no benefits during the current caretaker period.
Expressing his concerns, Rafique underscored the importance of avoiding unnecessary hurdles in the political landscape, urging for a fair playing field where politics are solely conducted through political means. He emphasized that the focus should be on constructive dialogue and policy discourse rather than resorting to censorship or restrictions on freedom of expression.
Rafique’s stance reflects a growing sentiment within the opposition against the recent measures taken by the authorities. The call to lift the ban on Twitter (X) is seen as a step towards fostering a more open and transparent political environment, where differing viewpoints can be freely expressed and debated.
As the debate over the ban on social media platforms continues to escalate, Rafique’s vocal opposition serves as a rallying cry for those advocating for the protection of digital rights and freedom of speech in Pakistan.
