LAHORE: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf has chided the PML-N’s government for even blocking the VPN, an app that has been helping Pakistanis to surf X, formerly twitter, to read and upload posts.

In a message on X, PTI Punjab acting president Hammad Azhar stated those not mustering up courage to open X for public use, how they would stand a final protest call?

When the public does not stand with an ‘illegitimate’ government, the rulers problems’ multiply. Addressing the incumbent rulers, Mr Azhar said several others had tried to impose puppets through power, but eventually failed.

Other PTI leaders are also posting messages that even the government itself was using VPN to post their messages on X.
