Pakistani WhatsApp users are experiencing disruptions.

The Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA) cautioned the government about the dire repercussions of internet shutdowns and a potential ban on virtual private networks (VPNs) just before Saturday, when internet users across Pakistan encountered major issues connecting to WhatsApp.

Downdetector, an outage tracking tool, said that 207 complaints peaked in a single hour, mostly on Saturday at 10 PM. 67% of those impacted said they had trouble sending messages, especially media files, while 16% said they had trouble receiving them.

While there were sporadic issues in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab saw the most severe disruptions in the Meta-owned messaging service.

Although the precise cause of the disruption was not disclosed, users’ complaints about the sudden WhatsApp outage mostly concerned the inability to transfer media files, prompting internet service providers to come under fire.

Since there was no official statement, some users conjectured that the disruptions were related to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) widely reported demonstration in Islamabad on Sunday.

WhatsApp outages are now commonplace in the nation, especially during important occasions like PTI demonstrations.

These disruptions have always been ascribed by officials to technical issues or damage to underwater cables.

PTI-affiliated accounts launched a campaign on X (previously Twitter) on Saturday, pushing Elon Musk, the owner of X and the CEO of SpaceX, to launch Starlink in Pakistan.

The suicide attack at Darul Uloom Haqqania has been widely denounced by the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. They claimed that when Security Forces take action against the Khawarij faction, they not only attack mosques and seminaries but also use them as safe havens.
The public has demanded that the state step up its efforts to combat the Khawarij, highlighting the fact that their violence still poses a serious threat to the general public, especially academics. They have stated their steadfast support for Security Forces in their fight against this danger.
They claim that the Khawarij assault schools, seminaries, and mosques in an effort to deny Pakistan’s youth an education and take advantage of women and children as human shields. While explosions in public places have killed innocent civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, they have also desecrated the sanctity of mosques and turned them into terrorist hotspots.
They have called on the government to punish those accountable for this catastrophe severely and to put in place strong safeguards against future occurrences of this kind.
