Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan just called out Facebook to stop the spread of violent and Islamophobic content on the social platform. The reaction of the PM was in response to the French President’s recent Islamophobic behavior.  


President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to an Islamist murderer of a French teacher last week, after which the French ambassador in Islamabad was summoned to give a diplomatic protest against the President’s problematic remarks.  


Khan posted an open letter on Twitter this Sunday, expressing his resentment over increasing Islamophobia and extremism and the role of social platforms like Facebook in the spread of such content. 


The letter talked about the situation in France where, Khan said, Islam was being associated with terrorism. He called out the French president for ‘'attacking Islam’' by encouraging the display of cartoons of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.

PTA decides to lift the ban from TikTok

Ten days ago, one of the most popular social media app TikTok was blocked in Pakistan by the country’s telecommunication authorities because of the spread of indecent videos. However, as per the authorities, TikTok has promised to suspend every account that creates and makes such immoral videos viral over the internet. Not to forget, the company failed to ban such accounts in the first place, resulting in shutting off the app completely nationwide. 

A spokesperson from Pakistan Telecommunication Authorities said that TikTok had more than 20 million active users monthly from Pakistan only. Furthermore, an analytic company SensorTower confirmed that TikTok was listed as the third-most downloaded app in Pakistan prior to the ban led by WhatsApp and Facebook in the first and second places.

In fact, pollution kills three times as many people a year as it does from various diseases like HIV/Aids, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. It also said to kill  15 times as many people annually as war and other forms of violence.

These findings were released in the latest analysis by Global Alliance on Health and Pollution. Their report stated that at least 90% of premature deaths from pollution occur in low and middle-income countries.

India and China were named as the most polluted countries with 2,326,711 and 1,865,566 pollution-related deaths per year.
