WDWeb DeskPublished 1 min read

Social media platform X has been reestablished in Pakistan on Monday following a blockade of over 36 hours, which began on February 17 (Saturday).

Netblocks, a global internet monitor, reported on Saturday a "national-scale disruption to X amid escalating unrest and protests over allegations of election fraud, following a high-level resignation and public admission of vote manipulation" by Rawalpindi Commissioner Liaqat Ali Chatha. Chatha admitted to rigging under his watch, sparking a renewed wave of controversy over poll results.
