In a baffling move, Senator Bahramand Khan Tangi has proposed slamming the door shut on the digital age by suggesting a perma­nent ban on all social media platforms. Senator Tangi’s resolution contends that social media platforms are un­dermining the younger generation, promoting values contrary to our re­ligious and cultural ethos. In an era where the rest of the world is hurtling forward into a digital future, such proposals only serve to make Pakistan a global laughingstock. PTA should work in tandem with industry stakeholders to strike a delicate balance between security and fostering a thriving digital environment. It is time to embrace the digital era with thoughtful regulation and strategic plan­ning, ensuring that our nation remains a dynamic participant in the global digital landscape.

As expected, Mian Shehbaz Sharif won the election for Prime Minister as the National Assembly gave him 201 votes, versus 92 for Gohar Ayub. That amounts to a two-thirds majority, but is still short of the requirement of 224, making the total membership of the House. Still, it is within striking distance, and the majority is a striking improvement on Mian Shehbaz’s wafer-thin majority during his previous government, when he had just the bare minimum. Still, the Mian Shehbaz government faces two great tests soon, and will depend on the 70 seats of the PPP to achieve at least one of them. The PPP’s 70 MNAs voted for Mian Shehbaz, but the party has not accepted any Cabinet positions, and insists it will support the government from the outside.
