Ousted prime minister Imran Khan was making a speech in Peshawar on Tuesday and the Shehbaz government got into action and blocked him on all.
“YouTube down. Internet chocked. Channels blocked.” That was Tuesday’s Pakistan.
Here is various response that tell the whole story.
Pakistan is now officially turned into a Banana republic all channels banned to telecast @ImranKhanPTI speech and PTA has blocked @YouTube in Pakistan

Welcome to digital martial law in Pakistan, where @YouTube gets blocked each time a person that the establishment doesn’t like is speaking & their speech is live-streamed.

This is unacceptable paternalistic censorship that undermines constitutional rights #YouTubeDOWN #keepiton
So YouTube blocked again suddenly by this fascist Imported govt and its handlers. Really sick mindsets. IK speech will be heard one way or another you petty frightened political pygmies. Never thought State would use cyber warfare against its own people! Shameful. #EnoughlsEnough

This Imported Govt blocked the internet & Cyberspace. Yet people found a way to listen to Khan's speech. The more you suppress free speech the more we will fight back. Your days are numbered. You have to face the wrath of the people.

What exactly is new in this speech that YouTube for the entire country had to be blocked?

An absolute and utter disgrace that @YouTube has been blocked in Pakistan.

Imran Khan is a train wreck. But this censorship is worse than Imran Khan.
With all the unnecessary attention on this nonsense, imagine how flood victims feel.
YouTube is blocked during the speech of a political leader Imran Khan in Pakistan. Will you take any action on this matter? YouTube is being used for political purposes in Pakistan. @YouTube

YouTube down. Internet chocked. Channels blocked. Protesters assaulted & gassed. Journalists harassed. Hostage videos of teenagers aired.

Doesn't it seem that they are pretty scared of a guy who they proclaimed to the veterans, that he is no longer popular among the masses?
We are living in an era of unprecedented Fascism where rule of law & freedom of speech is trampled in a dictatorial manner. If this is not Banana Republic then what is?? Youtube blocked during country's most popular leader @ImranKhanPTI speech.#PeshawarJalsa
