Counter terrorism - Sindh to ban Viber & Skype for 3 months

Re: Counter terrorism - Sindh to ban Viber & Skype for 3 months

This stupid Bhutto Baba thinks that Skype/Viber/etc. are used by “burgers”! Someone should smack him on his forehead. May be it will bring some sense in him.

Bilawal Bhutto just showed that even spending all one’s life in a Western society does not change the wadera/chaudhry mentality of those people. Most sardar of Balochistan are also foreign qualified and so was Benazir. But it did not make a slightest of dent in their thinking.


Interesting read. :smiley:

Bilawal’s apparent try to show support for his provincial government’s act of banning Chatting services like WhatsApp and Skype, resulted in a worthy criticism over the young leader. Bilawal tweeted “I’d rather lose an app than another life”. These words, an irony within themselves because of his living in safe haven of Dubai, attracted some sarcastic reviews from some of the Twitterati. Ghareeda Farooqi tweeted “WhatsApp/Skype ban and Bilawal’s response came under discussion here in Joburg and a Brit said “I’m sure he is single these days” !

“In a more sarcastic vein, social activist Abdullah Saad (@kursed) asked the PPP co-chairman if such methods were actually successful why governments around the world had not adopted them to deal with their own internal security threats.
In much visible frustration Bilawal replied “Dear Burgers, Sorry about Skype/Viber/Whatsapp. Excuse us while we catch some terrorists and save some lives. SMS for 3 months. Sincerely BBZ.”

This Ban even generated a funny trend on twitter as #Terroristskypeids where people started suggesting alleged IDs used by terrorists on Skype. My personal favorites among the suggested was OBL_SubhanAllah, Hoor_Atom_Bomb, ImranKhanApnaJani, Zindagi na phatay gee dubara.
