PTI lawyer Shoaib Shaheen has condemned the recent suspension of social media platforms in Pakistan, urging the government to restore the services as per court orders.

He stated that the internet disruption, which according to him has increased since yesterday, was done after the Election Commission of Pakistan uploaded Form 45s.

“The comments that are coming on them [form 45s] and the conversation that is going on, I think it is to avoid that,” he said in a media talk outside the Supreme Court.
