Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) plans to block all unregistered Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) in Pakistan, ARY has reported.

The matter of VPNs was discussed during a Senate committee meeting on Information Technology (IT) and Telecom, chaired by Senator Palwasha Khan.

Chairman PTA Hafeezur Rehman stated, “We’re receiving complaints against social media apps including TikTok (95 percent), Meta (65 percent), and X (formerly Twitter) (22 percent ).

Senator Humayun Mohmand questioned whether using a VPN as an assembly member would go against the rules.

Chairman PTA responded, “We are working to manage internet restrictions like Dubai and China.”

“More than 20,500 individuals have registered their VPNs with PTA, and a campaign is underway to collect more registrations. Unregisted VPNs will be blocked later,” he warned.

PTA has launched a one-window operation to whitelist IP addresses and register VPNs. You can register your VPN on the official website of the PTA Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB).

The internet slowed down in Pakistan in July, and many digital businesses and freelancers faced issues and financial loss.

According to a report, Pakistan’s IT industry lost over $300 million due to internet disruption.

Fiverr, one of the most popular platforms for freelancers, also listed Pakistanis as ‘Unavailable’ for a few days.

Bollywood’s famous rapper, Honey Singh, has revealed learning about Islamic teachings.

“Most of the information about me on the internet is false, but I deliberately did not correct it because I was waiting for the right time,” he said while discussing his personal life during a recent interview with Indian media.

“My story is very interesting. I used to play tabla at home. When my father admitted me to a school in Indian Punjab, I played tabla there as well. At the age of 12, I forgot the tabla and my religion and became an atheist. I learned about Hinduism from my spiritual guru and Sikhism from my upbringing at home. But after becoming an atheist, I decided not to believe in religion, yet kept learning about it,” he added.

“I shifted to Mohali in 2007. At that time, I was neither famous nor had any work—I was just a music producer. But during that time, I got an opportunity to learn about Islam from scholars and mystics. Despite learning about Islam, I still considered myself an atheist.”

“I took information about Islam from these scholars. When I used to sit with these religious figures, there was a different atmosphere. I was just an ordinary boy who asked tough questions to the scholars, but they always gave me answers to every question,” he said.

He then revealed that after gaining fame in 2011, “Instead of being grateful to the Almighty, I got involved with demonic forces. After that, both my life and mind deteriorated. In 2018, following an illness, I left atheism and became a believer.”
