Murtaza Solangi, the federal minister for information, broadcasting, and parliamentary affairs, stated on Thursday that it was unlawful for some people to use social media platforms to instigate violence. Speaking at a press conference alongside Prime Minister Hafiz Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi, Special Representative on Interfaith Harmony, he declared that the government would strictly enforce the law against such unlawful activity. According to him, the freedom of speech guaranteed by Article 19 of the Constitution was not unrestricted and was instead subject to local laws. Solangi noted that insulting the judges, the military forces, or friendly nations was prohibited by Article 19. According to him, businesses that make billions of dollars from social media platforms cannot shirk their responsibilities.
