The Sindh High Court (SHC) has expressed displeasure at the recent suspension of internet services in the country and directed the federal government to give reasons for the disruption.

During a hearing on a set of petitions against internet and social media outages, SHC Chief Justice Aqeel Ahmed Abbasi remarked: “The internet is not working here, there or anywhere”.

“Why are you making a spectacle of the country in front of the world by shutting down the internet?” he asked.
