According to the Pakistani “Don’t Block The Blog” there are two theories that could explain PTA’s recent move to ban YouTube: vote rigging videos showing alleged evidence of election fraud in Karachi and a blasphemous video disgracing Prophet Mohammed.
I don’t honestly think Musharraf or anyone else for that matter cares about the blasphemous video disgracing Prophet Muhammad because every now and then there is a new video full of crap being virally marketed somewhere on the internet. I think the YouTube ban in Pakistan has more to do with the poll rigging videos like this one:
There is no way anyone could authenticate something like this and I honestly don’t think this ban would keep the world media away from something as controversial as poll rigging. I mean, this video is a smoking gun case against the Pakistani government but I still don’t see the point of the ban.
The ban is laughable, and speaks volumes for the kind of thinking prevalent among the chiefs of our government institutions.
You can’t thrust in the legitimacy of elections…
