“Take X, Y, or Z — voice notes and pictures do not load,” PPP's Qadir Patel roasts govt over slow internet

Pakistan People's Party MNA Abdul Qadir Patel has lashed out at the federal government for slow internet speed and restrictions on X (Twitter).

Patel remarked: “We thought she would know better why the internet has been completely ruined in this country.

“Take X, Y, or Z — voice notes and pictures do not load here. What firewall are you implementing that could not be activated until now?”

Decrying that businesses were suffering massive losses and students’ academics were being affected, the PPP lawmaker said, “Whatever you want to do, get it done already.”

Noting that the Cabinet division was stated as responsible for the internet fiasco, he said he would not like to hold Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif responsible for it, adding: “You should admit that you are responsible for it.”

“When will the internet start functioning at full speed? Please answer this.”
