ISLAMABAD: A petition has been filed in Islamabad High Court by the Civil Society in order to temporarily ban Facebook in the country till all blasphemous content is fully blocked and is under control.

According to the petition, blasphemous material in the form of writings, sketches and videos, is still being posted on Facebook.

Chairman PTA was quoted as saying that it might take about three weeks to close blasphemous pages as they did not have sufficient equipment to do the job.

Petitioner said that if PTA is unable to close the pages instantaneously, it should block the whole site until this problem is completely taken care of.
