Islamabad.
Pakistan has been struggling with economic crisis for a long time. However, here the government, army and religious organizations are more focused on eliminating the daily needs of the people rather than solving these problems. At different times, the government has issued orders to ban many websites and apps including X. However, now religious organizations have also entered into these issues, due to which there is tremendous anger among the people of Pakistan.
The latest case is related to a constitutional religious institution of Pakistan, which has declared the Virtual Private Network (VPN) used for Internet as anti-Islamic and issued a fatwa regarding it. Let us tell you that VPN is used to run restricted content, website or app in any country. Regarding this, people have not liked the fatwa issued by the Council of Islamic Ideology in Pakistan, which also advises the government on teaching and other issues related to religion. Even digital rights activists and some religious leaders have opposed it.

According to Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper, CII chief Raghi Naimi said that watching illegal content on the internet through VPN is against Sharia. In a statement on social media, Pakistan’s well-known religious leader Maulana Tariq Jameel said that if watching adult content or blasphemous content is the issue, then even mobile phones should be declared anti-Islam before VPNs. On the other hand, Allama Naseer Abbas, a Pakistani MP and head of Shia organization Majlis Wahdat Muslimeen, said that the country is being run by an incompetent and corrupt upper class, who are not even the real representatives of the people. He said that he makes such laws and uses the fatwa as per his wish.
