Islamabad: The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SC) on Monday ordered the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to block links to all the blasphemous videos including a recently released anti-Islam film from the internet that has sparked anti-US protests across the Muslim world.
A senior lawyer raised the matter of anti-Islam film before a three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry. The court summoned the PTA’s chairman o and directed him to block access to all sacrilegious material in the country.
The court ordered him to submit the implementation report the same day. The CJ also directed the Pakistan Electronic Media Regularity Authority (PEMRA) to set up ‘standards of modesty’ and submit a reply in this regard within two weeks.
