[HAIDER]

Marriyum Aurangzeb, the Federal Minister for Information, has notified the public that strict action, under the cyber crime and defamation laws, will be taken against anyone carrying out “negative propaganda” against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif or his family.



The minister was addressing a press conference in Islamabad.

She said “While the Panamagate case was in court, there was a lot being said about it on the media and social media, and no action of any kind was taken against it.”

She added “However, in the past two weeks while the court has secured its verdict, a propaganda campaign has been carried out on social media, and people have been carrying out this campaign in an effort to influence the court.”

According to the minister, remarks like “if the verdict is in favor of the PM, then justice has lost” were an attempt to pressurize the court.

For that very reason, the government plans on trying anyone carrying out propaganda against the PM and his family.

She claims this is not political revenge and should not be considered political victimization.

PTI & Imran Khan to be Tried Under Cyber Crime Law
The government has also decided to take action against Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan and the political party’s leadership under the cyber crime and defamation laws.

According to the Information Minister, the party has been trying to influence the Supreme Court’s decision and hurt the Prime Minister’s reputation by using electronic, print and social media.

Dawn News reported that Marriyum Aurangzeb said “We will definitely take action against the PTI leadership”.

The minister was of the opinion that Imran Khan’s party had no justification in objecting against the action. She added that work is being done in preparing a case against the PTI leadership under both, cyber crime and defamation laws. Marriyum Aurangzeb was pretty clear on her opinion that PTI leadership are also in contempt of the court.

Final Words
Cyber Crime law was heavily criticized for this very reason when it was passed last year. IT industry, civil society and digital activists believed it would be used politically by all governments to control the social media and is an act against basic human rights.

Minister of information’s vague and undefined term like “negative propaganda” could include anything from share a picture to a post stating a person’s opinion on the matter, clearly in violation of basic rights of open speech.

She failed to define what this negative propaganda means and what sort of social media activities would be included in it. While it is the Prime Minister and his family’s right to be protected under the cyber crime law, it is vital that the law should not be misused for political gain by curbing any voice that raises concerns on government related issues or corruption.

If social campaign is cyber crime then this crime is being committed by every single political party

saying something to noora tubbar is a crime but money laundering is not! I guess I can give my relatives a 'bartanwi khat' so they can avoid taxes.

 

[FalconsForPeace]

Will have to see how this is implemented. To me it seems like PML-N will target PTI related content.

Just messures being introduced to protect the Kingdom of Nawaz Al-Sharif

The same meassures are in place in all the Kingdoms

Nawaz Sharif is a security threat for the country. Even if IK has to go with him, that is still a better deal than keeping Nawaz Sharif on the chair any longer.

There is so much hatred against GOP in this thread.

May Allah protect Pakistan and Pakistan's leadership, ameen.

 

[Zibago]

Good move, should have done it when he was spitting vulgarity on top of containers

Would you say same about Dalal Chaudry and Pervaiz,Rawshit?

That idiot already has more serious cases registered against him. The coward never appeared in the court for those cases. Instead of registering new cases, government needs to ensure the rule of law and produce the crook in the court hand-coughed.

Are you talking about baboon the first?

I think it is good initiative. I don't think people understand freedom of speech and expression very well. That's why you see allegations all the times without evidence to back with. Even Imran Khan challenges the government and his people to prove him wrong even though Imran Khan is the one to hurl baseless allegation like gossip.

No government should tolerate baseless allegation and must set example to avoid confusion. Due to the very same reason why racial war that could have blown was averted peacefully. There are tons of people that cannot wait to spread disinformation, cast allegation without evidence and eager to promote racial wars through social media.

Cyber crime is good initiative and it is being used all over the worlds to prevent anarchy aka fitna. Don't see how freedom of speech and expression are in danger. The platform is there to spread information, not to misuse for political agenda. Unfortunately, misusing freedom of speech has been the case recently especially by Imran Khan and his political party.

Good move. That will discourage those elements who are eager to promote disinformation, racial war, anarchism in form of dharna while taking cities and towns as hostage and forcibly closing their local businesses against their wills. The last thing Pakistan needs is another dharna that might cancel the foreign trip to Pakistan and drive potential investors away and possibly invite military takeover that was allegedly averted in the year of 2014.

If the evidences are solid against Imran Khan, then time to utilize cyber taskforce for good reasons. Right now, Pakistan needs stability. I doubt Imran Khan will handle well when PMLN wins the upcoming election well.
