Asim Azhar is against the PUBG ban in Pakistan

The Pakistani singer Asim Azhar has opposed the PUBG ban in Pakistan taking to Twitter after Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) announced that it will not unban the game despite orders from the Islamabad High Court.

Asim Azhar took to Twitter saying that he was a supporter of freedom of expression and against his bans on any platforms including games mentioning how it took years to come back from the YouTube ban in 2012 that negatively impacted the content creation in Pakistan.

Even tho I have never played this game but I believe in freedom of speech & actions that do not harm. I am with you guys & against the ban of any platforms or games. @ImranKhanPTI sir, the last time we banned something (YouTube) it took us so many years back.

The Pakistani singer further wrote about being against this banning culture being adopted in Pakistan and believes that we should invest in a better education system so that youth are capable of taking the right decisions themselves rather than being forced by banning entire platforms.

I want to live in a country where there is no banning culture. Where the youth has enough awareness to know whats right & wrong for them. For that we must invest everything we can in our basics & schooling to get results in coming years. Not by banning games. #ImranKhanPUBGKholo

Speaking about those using hate speech, Asim Azhar requested everyone who is protesting against the PUBG ban to not use any hate speech even though he understands how frustrating the matter is but the Tum Tum singer believes that Prime Minister Imran Khan will not disappoint his youth.

Also, a message to the youth, I know it can be very frustrating & demoralising leken har subha se pehle andhera hota hai. I request everyone protesting the bans to not use any hate speech. InshaAllah @ImranKhanPTI sir will not disappoint his youth 🙏🏽

At the end, Asim Azhar says its not just about the PUBG ban in Pakistan but rather the digital future of Pakistan as any field could be affected if this banning culture continues.

This is not just about a game, it is about the digital future of 🇵🇰 Every field will be affected. I am a victim of the ridiculous ban we had to face on YouTube for 5 years. We are again at the same stage. Please don’t let it happen again, sir @ImranKhanPTI 🙌🏽 #ImranKhanPUBGKholo
