Pakistan’s telecommunications regulatory body is seeking to prevent the nation’s youths from acquiring mobile phone chat-text package deals in order to stop what it described as activities “contrary to the moral values of society.”
In response to concerns raised by some vocal conservative politicians and religious fundamentalists, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) ordered all telecom operators in the country to cease providing such packages to adolescents since they make it easy for youths to contact their peers at any time and for very little cost. Conservatives in Pakistan fear that the ease of such communication with enable youths, especially women, to meet with members of the opposite sex and ultimately engage in pre-marital sexual relations.
“Stop all kinds of chat packages [voice and SMS] irrespective of ‘time of the day’ and submit compliance by September 2,” read the directive to the companies from Muhammad Talib Dogar, the PTA’s director-general. Members of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party (PML-N) also urged the PTA to make the order, citing that mobile phones and text-messaging devices make it easier for teens to engage in “immoral” activities. “Boys and girls talk the whole night on mobile phones and these packages are destroying the moral character of our youth,” complained PML-N legislator Sheikh Allauddin before the Punjab Assembly. The packages have also been condemned by lawmakers in the National Assembly (the lower house of parliament).
