By already imposing a CNIC card requirment for a SIM card issuance does the dogma of “misguide young people” not become meaning less ! If SIMs are being issued to adults and being used under their CNIC’s hence supervision Where do the law makers get off ! by curtailing the civil liberties and influencing free markets !! Is this the what the democratic and free government is supposed to be !
The religious Loony bin needs to keep their Over protective, undemocratic and uncivil stances on mobile phones to themselves !! We still have a family system ! The moral responsibility is not the responsibility of parliament but that of the head of family !
Moreover its not like that Govt is excelling at discharging their as are responsibilities !

The Problem of SIM Spoofing The problem of SIM Spoofing has been increasing day after day that ultimately creating harassment among customers. In SIM spoofing the customer SIM may use illegally for Calls and Text Messages, without his knowledge, although the SIM is active and in the use of the customer. Obviously to do SIM Spoofing for common people is not possible. Only who have high accessibility on customers’ private information can do this activity as a result of illegal use of authority. The people who involved in SIM spoofing can informed the exact location including area and city where ever customer gone, they are clearly able to listen customer mobile to mobile and mobile to landline conversations also can interfere in the conversations, they can read the text messages (SMSs) including the delete ones, bugged the landline numbers and the last but not least they can use the customer SIMs illegally without his knowledge. No doubt the SIM spoofing create serious harassment among customer especially when he sees the unknown persons took the control of his SIM and received the incomings calls despite the fact that the SIM was with him and was active. Meanwhile whenever the victim customer changed the SIM within five minutes the same unknown persons trace SIM number and started to contact with him on new number. Many times the customer received calls from ‘Private Number’ and Text Messages from numbers that surprisingly not in anyone use. When the customer contacted to the SIM Companies he was informed that SIM was not issued yet to anyone and is available for sale. The government must ensure the privacy of customers and monitor those individuals and authorities that had actually given the responsibility to monitor others SMSs and calls. Necessary action should be taken against those who are illegally using their authority because that is not only creating harassment and mental torture among customers but also Samna Naz Karachi

Thru these lines I strongly protest the rights and liberties curtailing approach be it low rate night cell phone calling or something else. Cell phone is just a tool and it can be used either ways that does not mean to deprive people of this good service at all. Further we dont need anymore moral policing. And by the way, these words are not from one of the affectees rather from their father.
