A high court judge has given the Pakistan Government a week to implement his order in a case related to uploading of sacrilegious content on social media, a media report said today. Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui of Islamabad High Court (IHC) yesterday made these observations as the Government failed to submit a compliance report in line with his judgement of March 31, carrying several directions for the Government to deal with the proliferation of blasphemous content on social media.
The Dawn reported that the judge warned that in case of non-compliance, the prime minister and other cabinet ministers could be summoned at the next hearing.
“If the same attitude continues (to be) exhibited by the executive, this court (will) issue directions for personal appearance of the worthy Prime Minister of Pakistan.
