Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has ordered the immediate lifting of the ban on the online encyclopedia Wikipedia in Pakistan, as offensive and illegal content will not be removed.
It must be remembered that PTA completely banned Wikipedia’s service across Pakistan a few days back after degrading it for 48 hours for refusing to remove objectionable and illegal material despite the warnings.
We sincerely hope that the government of Pakistan will soon lift the ban and provide their wholehearted support to our cause of providing information to all. It is essential that everyone, regardless of their location, has access to the knowledge they need to make informed decisions. We hope that this goal will soon become a reality.
According to the statement issued by Prime Minister House on the base three parliamentary committees, the service of Wikipedia should be opened as soon as possible.
