Latest Updates About UNBAN PUBG In Pakistan
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday disposed of a petition against a ban on the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) – an online multiplayer “battle royale” game – as it asked the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority’s (PTA) to issue a written order in this regard as per law. PTA and internet regulator suspended PUBG on July 1 after "receiving complaints from different segments of the society".
“The PTA has received numerous complaints against the PUBG wherein it is stated that the game is addictive, wastage of time and poses serious negative impact on physical and psychological health of the children," a statement of the authority had said. It had claimed that suicides have also been attributed to the game in media reports. "Honourable Lahore High Court has also directed the PTA to look into the issue and decide the matter after hearing the complainants. In this regard, a hearing is being conducted on 9th of July 2020.''
Host and YouTuber Waqar Zaka revealed that he will be filing a petition in the Sindh High Court to lift the ban on PUBG, be it a temporary ban or a permanent one.
Waqar Zaka beleives the move has been made by those who want to "prevent the youth of Pakistan from excelling in e-sports." He further adds that it is because of the same people who do not want this country to excel in e-commerce either
Taking up the petition on Monday, an IHC single-bench headed by Justice Aamer Farooq asked the PTA counsel as to why it decided to suspend the game. The counsel said the Punjab Police had written a letter to the PTA and mentioned the suicides committed by PUBG players.
The petitioner said he had won the PUBG tournament in Pakistan and was to join the PUBG World League on July 10. He dismissed the PTA’s reasoning behind the ban and contended that electronic sports are the largest growing industry in the world, and the PUBG is a way to earn money online.
“We have also received complaints from parents requesting us to impose a ban on the game,” he said.The judge noted that if the PTA wanted to impose a ban on the game, it must mention the laws under which the game must be banned. He later ordered the regulator to issue a written order on it according to the law.
