So the government of Pakistan has blocked the Urdu and Pashto websites of the Voice of America (VoA) platform as they have been reported to be covering anti-state activities of the Pakistan Tahaffuz Movement (PTM).
Moreover if you are wanting to access the website and hence make an attempt to access it, the website will show you many errors like for example www.urduvoa.com took very long to respond or moreover it showed “the connection to the www.urduvoa.com was interrupted while the page was loading and finally the page showed that “The page that you are trying to view cannot be viewed because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified”. Now as per the information provided by an official of the Vo platform, the Pashto website was blocked months ago when they were found to be covering a PTM rally in which the people had with themanti-Pakistan slogans raised.
