Recently revealed documents have shown that the decision to install a firewall was made by the PTI government, led by former Prime Minister Imran Khan, in October 2020. This move has resulted in a daily loss of $50 million.
Meanwhile, Minister of State for IT Shaza Fatima Khawaja has denied any government-imposed shutdown or throttling of the internet in Pakistan. She attributed recent internet issues to high traffic and VPN usage, stating that the situation has been resolved.
Khawaja emphasized responsible discussion of Pakistan’s issues and acknowledged the challenges posed by negative perceptions of the country.
