[Video] A friendly message to Mr. President (about YouTube Shut Up)

Posted about 733 days ago | 5 comments

Just a couple of days ago, YouTube.com started showing Access Denied on Pakistani ISPs, that caused a much fuss on twitter. YouTube was restored within few minutes and no one knew what caused this temporary ban on YouTube. Later on, Dr. Awab of Teeth Maestro blog revealed that there’s a video of President on Youtube in which he is seen shouting “Shut Up” to someone from the audience.

If you see on YouTube, most of the videos titled ‘Zardari Shut up’ are still blocked. So I got a friendly message to Mr. President Asif Ali Zardari and that is; there’s nothing bad if you got angry on someone from audience who might have provoked you on some sensitive personal issue but what you did wrong is; tried to censor the words of your own! If you are so much embarassed about that video, why did you say such thing at first place, and now that you had said that already, what stimulated you to block that?

I dont know when our ‘tech ill-literate’ government will learn that in the age of new media, things cant be banned like this. You should realize that if you’re imposing a ban on any content within Pakistan, people can still access that with the help of a number of ways. In short, it is impossible to restrict the free speech in this age.

You don’t believe me, see this video of yours I am posting here on my blog and if you can dare blocking my website, you’ll see your video on almost every website of Pakistan and on many websites abroad. Would you go ahead to block all of them?

    Mr. President Should n’t have said such that. But after that had been done, he knew the reaction of media if that was disclosed. SO he did an action like this. But how many mistakes and blunders would he hide?

    His throne is already shaken and he knows that he has to be very careful!

    Worst times have arrived therefore Mr. 10% (ten percent) have become leaders of our beloved country. I will not go into the details how corrupt our leaders are. Along with corruption they don’t care if poor people live or die. Zardari and his government have sold our country for few dollars and now our national interests are also on sale by him. When I think about the situation in Pakistan my heart really goes, looking at the necessity which Pakistani nation does not have, such as Sugar, Wheat flour, Electricity, Gas, jobs, clean drinking water and there is huge list of other necessities which Pakistani nation does not enjoy. However leaders of Pakistan have turned a blind eye to the problems of poor people. I always wonder that why Pakistan does not utilizes 18 billion people and produce various items which can later be sold in international market such as Airplanes, Fast Trains, Weapon technology and various other items. Leaders of Pakistan have pledged to neglect this nation and they are extremely busy filling their own pockets with stolen poor people’s money. I pray to God that the injustice vanishes soon and we see a real and authentic leader who can lead us through prosperity and happiness. I believe the leaders of Pakistan have failed to look after their country and they have failed to show care. We as a nation should unite together and raise against the ignorance we face today. Thank you

    @vinnie.Wow! This video was actually banned in the county and even the youtube was for a little while. They have taken this video off. It is a time of stress for everyone due to the regular blasts. Guys cut him some slack L Lets not get ourselves into these cheap tactics and lets just all pray for the better future of Pakistan.
