PTI claims its websites ‘blocked’ in Pakistan ahead of Feb 8 general elections

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Friday claimed that its websites were “blocked” in Pakistan and demanded an answer from the federal authorities.

PTI’s official X account tagging the official handles of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), interim information minister Murtaza Solangi and interim IT minister Umar Saif, demanded an explanation as to why its websites are blocked in Pakistan.

“People are still getting symbol information from Imran Khan’s Facebook page so the question is what purpose is this block serving?” PTI questioned.

Jibran Ilyas, a member of the PTI’s social media team, also tagged interim IT minister Umar Saif in his post, and questioned, “Can you tell Pakistanis why the websites of [the] country’s most popular political party [are] blocked by you?”
