ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that the internet ban will continue until all the perpetrators and instigators who burnt down properties and houses have been arrested.
He was talking to a private television on Friday, adding he would have to seek PM Shehbaz Sharif’s guidance over it if the matters involving former PM Imran Khan extended beyond May 17.
The Interior Minister said that there were many people who used the internet legally and they were the ones losing out so they have to keep that under surveillance.
