Pakistan Minister of State for Information Technology and Telecommunication Shaza Fatima Khawaja on Friday acknowledged on the floor of the National Assembly that internet users were facing challenges in Pakistan, but at the same time claimed that presently the internet, VPNs and WhatsApp were fully functional in the country.
The minister was responding to the criticism from PPP legislator Shazia Marri during the Question Hour over the suspension of VPNs and difficulties in the use of WhatsApp and other mobile apps due to slow internet speed in the country.
While responding to Ms Marri’s supplementary question amid noisy opposition’s protest, the minister also admitted that they had failed to make any investment in the telecom infrastructure over the past three years, and blamed the previous PTI government for it.
