One-minute internet blackout removed from July programme: Farooki

Cultural Affairs Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki said that interim government has dropped the symbolic one-minute internet blackout from the July Commemoration programme, reports BSS.

"We had doubts about one of the events of the July commemoration programme from the planning stage. We have cut only one programme several times, and it was added again. Many of us agreed that 'one minute internet blackout' is probably not a great idea," he wrote in a Facebook post Thursday morning.

Farooki said they decided in a quick meeting that there would be no one-minute symbolic internet blackout programme and the revised slides are being shared.

Apart from this, he said, all the programmes remain unchanged. "Let's reconnect, regroup and reignite the very July fire," he wrote.
