Federal Government Rejects Punjab’s Request to Suspend Social Media During Muharram

The federal government has rejected the Punjab government’s request for a social media ban during Muharram.

Sources indicate provinces suggested a social media ban from the 6th to the 11th of Muharram. However, the federal government responded, stating that Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp, and other social media apps would not be banned.

The federal government has pledged to ensure foolproof security during Muharram. The Ministry of Interior directed that security measures be intensified and made more effective. Mobile signals will be blocked in areas where processions and majlis are.

The Punjab Home Ministry issued Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Majlis during Muharram ul Haram. Walk-through gate installation is mandatory at sensitive places. Majalis security will consist of three layers to avoid any untoward incidents. Entry and exit routes will be fixed, and attendants will be checked with metal detectors.

The car parking facility will be established at least 200 meters from the place of majlis. Loudspeakers will be limited to the Majalis, and punctuality is advised during this time.

A meeting of the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee presided over by Maulana Muhammad Abdul Khabir was convened on July 6 to see the moon of Muharram al-Haram. This will mark the announcement of the new Islamic year.

Ashura

Ashura, observed on the 10th of Muharram, commemorates Hazrat Imam Hussain (R.A) and other martyrs of Karbala. The day honours the resilience of the Prophet’s (PBUH) grandson, Hazrat Imam Hussain (SA), his family, and companions who fought to uphold Islam. Mourning processions will be taken out in all cities and towns of the country amidst strict security.
