    What the hell is this?
    This is what happens when a rookie gets to learn something new. Just recently we had this cyber crime act come up and now we face stupid laws just like this one. The thieves, the murderers, the corrupt walk freely on the streets and you will be sentenced 14 years of jail for expressing your disgust about the facilities like load shedding that the government provides to you.

    I think this decision is made by GOV against those peoples who write bull shit against GOV leaders personally but when some one raises his voice against some government failure issues like loadsheeding and fuel prices then defiantly it should not be prohibited by government.
    If government does this then this decision is not good and not welcome by us and people of Pakistan

    Does this mean that writers of shows like “Hum sub umeed say hain” will also be put in jail for 14 years?
    The govt should address the cause and not the symptom. Why are people making fun of Zardari? That is the question they should be asking.
