Minister for Information and Broadcasting Ata Tarar on Wednesday said social media platform X (Twitter) is working in Pakistan.
While responding to a question Tarar said that the platform is working in Pakistan and posts are also being done on the platform.
The minister's remarks went viral on social media and users expressed their ire on the statement.
Pakistanis’ access to X (formerly known as Twitter) continues to be restricted despite a Sindh High Court order to restore the microblogging site’s services.
The disruption coincided with protests following the February 8 general election and allegations of vote rigging.
Authorities have not publicly stated a reason for the ongoing restrictions. Due to the lack of enforcement of court orders, the Islamabad High Court has also issued notices to the relevant authorities regarding the suspension of X in Pakistan.
