A resolution calling for a permanent ban on the social media platform TikTok has been submitted in the Punjab Assembly. The resolution was moved by opposition lawmaker Farrukh Javed, according to assembly sources.
The text of the resolution alleges that the TikTok “mafia” in Pakistan is promoting vulgarity and obscenity, particularly through its live chat feature. It claims that the application is encouraging inappropriate conversations among young users, especially children, and drawing them toward immoral behavior.
The resolution further states that TikTok is luring the younger generation into a culture of cheap fame and money, which, it argued, poses serious risks to societal values. It emphasized that such trends are not acceptable in an Islamic society and that decisive steps must be taken to protect the moral fabric of the nation.
The assembly wants action now. It asks the government to ban TikTok and its live chat forever. This will keep children safe. It prevents moral decline. The matter will now be taken up for discussion within the assembly.
