Punjab government banned the entry of TikTokers at parks - Fake News

People around the world are spreading rumours on Social Media out of which one of them is about the Punjab Government.

Azhar Mashwani, the Punjab chief minister's focal person for digital media, issued a denial after Geo News reported that the Punjab government had enforced a ban on the entry of TikTokers in the province's parks.

The report said that only state media would be allowed to shoot videos in parks and said that permission to make videos for social media would depend on the submission of a script in advance, while security personnel deployed at the parks will monitor Tiktokers and YouTubers.



"Fake News. No such decision taken so far by government. Currently, TikTok is banned in Pakistan," Mashwani said.

The Punjab Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) Director General (DG) Jawad Ahmad Qureshi also issued a denial.

In a statement, Qureshi said that the authority denied all rumours pertaining to the ban on TikTokers in parks across Lahore.

He said that no written notification to bar TikTokers and YouTubers from entering parks had been issued.
