I REQUEST the federal and provincial caretaker governments to kindly lift the ban on YouTube. The entire nation is being deprived of a channel that provides so much information.

If the government cannot reach an agreement with Google, in no way should the punishment be awarded to the citizens.

It is the responsibility of the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority to build software to filter profane content and enter into a new agreement with Google and Internet service providers.

However, the first thing that should be done by the caretaker government is to lift the ban on YouTube on an urgent basis.
