THE government banned YouTube just for a useless and blasphemous video. There are millions of sermons, religious and educational material available on YouTube which cannot be accessed by the public.
Is there any common sense? I ask the authorities: how many other countries, besides Pakistan, have banned YouTube for posting blasphemous material?
