PTI spokesperson Raoof Hasan has termed it “shameful that X has remained blocked in the country for over one month now.”
“We fully endorse 28 civil society organisations’ demand for immediate removal of ban on the social media platform allowing free flow of information as should be the case in a democratic country,” he wrote in a post on X.
