Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has raised concerns about the blocking of its party’s website within Pakistan, ahead of the upcoming general elections on February 8, 2024.
The party, which introduced an online portal on its website insaf.pk, along with a backup site pticandidates.com to mitigate potential voter confusion, has demanded an explanation from the authorities.
PTI, which nominated its candidates as independents with various electoral symbols, expressed frustration over the website blockage.
The party’s official X account on social media tagged the official handles of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), interim information minister Murtaza Solangi, and interim IT minister Umar Saif, seeking clarification on the matter.
In a post, PTI questioned, “Can you explain why PTI’s websites are blocked in Pakistan?” and queried the purpose of blocking the website when people could still obtain symbol information from Imran Khan’s Facebook page.
It’s worth noting that a fake web portal resembling the one launched by PTI was providing misleading information to voters about PTI-backed candidates, adding to the complexity of the situation.
