Subject: PTA's Blocking of Political Web Sites

 

Dear Sirs,

 

The role of Inter-Ministerial Committee is to block anti-Pakistan, blasphemous, and pornographic web sites only. Blocking of web sites not containing any of such material is highly objectionable. Internet industry deplores this censorship of Internet by the Inter-Ministerial Committee and demand with drawl of these orders.

 

Kind regards.

Dear Aasif ,

Recently we have been requested by PTA to block the following sites :


a.                   http://www.dictatorshipwatch.com/2008/11/08/governer-punjab-salman-taseer-%E2%80%93%-history.html

b.                   http://www.dictatorshipwatch.com/2008/11/06/leaders-of-a-nation-half-of-which-sleep-hungry.html

c.                    http://www. dictatorshipwatch.com/taseer/taseer.swf

d.                  http://www.makepakistanbetter.com/why_how_what_forum.asp?GroupID=5&Group_title=Pakistan%ArticalID=4297

e.                    http://www.friendskorner.com/forum/f137/governer-punjab-salman-taseer-his-family-77872/

f.                    http://www.buzzvines.com/node/3347

Please kindly note that while these have been classified as "harmful for the integrity of the country " ,  I don't believe that is the correct classification. PTA as a regulator should not be involved in pushing or blocking political agendas  and should clearly rise above the political party favors and bias.  I would appreciate if you can discuss this matter with ISPAK as we feel that the criteria of blocking should be clearly defined and should not side with any political party.

All three sites are blocked at Worldcall (no surprise there). HRI
blocks the URLs, but not the sites.

Its kind of amusing :) Musharaf seemed to be true in his last
speech :) that you'll remember me in good words.

I wonder if my comments would get this Google group banned as well :)

thanks,
Shakeel
