      <title>Fawad reacts to TikTok ban, calls it judicial activism
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30261900/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Wednesday criticized Sindh High Court's (SHC) verdict to ban TikTok across Pakistan till July 8, calling it "judicial activism".&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taking to Twitter, Chaudhry said that "Pakistan will never come out of its economic crisis if judicial reforms are not undertaken."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"I'm bewildered after reading yesterday's verdicts on suspension of TikTok and the removal of the NBP president, [and wondering:] what are our courts doing?" the federal minister added. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He further said, "the country is already bearing the loss of billions of dollars because of judicial activism."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/fawadchaudhry/status/1410100041902088192?s=20"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
				&lt;figcaption class="media__caption  "&gt;Source: Twitter&lt;/figcaption&gt;
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fawad's comment came after the Sindh high court issued an order Monday to suspend the video-sharing app across Pakistan till July 8. It is pertinent to mention that the app was banned once before and the restrictions were only removed three months ago.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SHC, in its verdict, had asked the attorney general of Pakistan to get the app suspended after hearing a petition against the app. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The petitioner in his plea had said that the app should be banned because users were sharing 'immoral and unIslamic' content on the platform.&lt;/p&gt;
