ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s interior ministry said on Friday it had not made any decision on requests by provinces to suspend Internet service to ensure security in Muharram.
The proposals relate to Muharram’s Ashura processions, 10 days of mourning by minority Shiite Muslims. The event is the holiest in the Shiite calendar and commemorates the 7th century death of Imam Hussain and his companions.
