Last months, Ex-Minister for Interior Mr. Rehman Malik told media
that lift on www.YouTube.com will be lifted very soon but now officials has reported to keep ban
continue until YouTube blocks that video.
According to strong sources, Pakistani government in touch with
Google with two options which are as follows;
- Pak Government want removal of anti Islamic movie
- Or block of it in Pakistan permanently.
Now, ball is the court of Google. Google has to remove “Innocence of
Muslims” from its video sharing site www.YouTube.com or is going to block it in Pakistan permanently.
If Yotutube.com is not taking any action then it might be seen that Pakistani
Government is no more thinking for lifting of ban on the site.
Please note that Pakistan had banned YouTube.com since the month of
September, 2012 due to uploading of Blasphemous anti Islamic film “Innocence of
Muslims”. The movie was created by a catholic Christian named as “Nakoula Basely” who had been in a jail
due to its various illegal activities.
Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) had tried to block this
film in Pakistan but failed and hence, they pressurizing Google to either
remove or block it in Pakistan. It should be noted that many internet users are
still accessing YouTube easily by using different proxy websites in the
country. Youtube.com can be accessed through proxy websites but it banned
directly.
Pakistani ministry of information technology, FIA and PTA altogether
working for negotiating with Google by two options, either to remove the movie
“Innocence of Muslims” from YouTube or to block completely in Pakistan.
