Pakistan To Ban Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, YouTube For 6 Days. Here’s Why

The Pakistan government is set to ban all social media platforms — Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp and YouTube — for six days from July 13 to 18 during Muharram.

Governor troubles | The Centre’s proxy war

Former governor of Gujarat and Jammu & Kashmir B.K.

Tamil Nadu governor Ravindra Narayana Ravi may not be guilty of many of these but the former Intelligence Bureau officer is accused of sitting on bills passed by the state assembly for months on end (some of them for years). On November 20, when the Supreme Court censured him, it ignited a heated debate on not just his actions but also the governor’s role in India’s federal structure. Source link
