Interior ministry of Pakistan says there was no other way to ban X

Interior ministry of Pakistan has submitted a report to the Islamabad High Court on the petition against the closure of social media site X.

The report states that the government has no other option but to temporarily close X. On the request of the intelligence agencies, the Ministry of Interior ordered the closure of X. The decision to close X is to maintain national security and law and order.

The report states that social media platforms are being used to spread extremist ideas and false information, X is being used by a few miscreants to harm law and order, to promote instability.

In the report of the Ministry of Interior, it is said that the purpose of the closure of X is not to restrict freedom of expression or access to information, the purpose of the closure of X is the responsible use of social media platforms in accordance with the law.

The Home Ministry report said that the closure of X is not against Article 19 of the Constitution, banning social media platforms across the world for security reasons, and the petition against the closure of X should be dismissed.
