Fawad seeks judicial reforms, slates TikTok ban

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Hussain Chaudhry Wednesday stressed the need for judicial reforms and slated recent decisions of banning the social media app TikTok and setting aside the appointment of the National Bank of Pakistan president.

In tweets, the minister said the country would never be able to come out of an economic crisis unless judicial reforms were implemented. “My head is spinning after reading about the decision to ban TikTok and remove the NBP president. What are our courts doing? The country has already suffered losses worth billions of dollars due to judicial activism,” the minister said. He expressed concern over the growing incidents of Islamophobia in the West and remarked, “We hope that effective measures will be taken to prevent such incidents”.

The minister said that a few weeks back, a Pakistani family was martyred in a racial attack in Canada and now again in Saskartoon City another citizen Kashif was attacked by militants with daggers. “The West needs to act holistically to counter Islamophobia,” Fawad emphasized.
