Asifa Bhutto and Abdul Qadir Patel Criticize Slow Internet Speeds in Assembly

ISLAMABAD: In a recent session of the National Assembly, Asifa Bhutto Zardari and Abdul Qadir Patel expressed their frustration over the sluggish internet speeds affecting citizens across Pakistan. The lawmakers questioned the government’s ability to transition from 4G to 5G technology amidst ongoing connectivity issues.

During the question hour, Bhutto and Patel humorously inquired, “Has 4G passed away that we are now introducing 5G?” Their remarks highlighted the growing dissatisfaction among the public regarding internet services, which have been increasingly criticized for their inefficiency and unreliability.

This exchange underscores a broader concern regarding digital infrastructure in Pakistan, where slow internet speeds can hinder economic growth, educational opportunities, and access to information. As the government pushes for technological advancements, citizens are left wondering if these initiatives will translate into tangible improvements.

Looking ahead, the National Assembly is expected to address these concerns in upcoming sessions, with calls for a comprehensive review of the country’s internet policies and infrastructure investments. Stakeholders are urging the government to prioritize digital connectivity to ensure that all citizens benefit from modern technology.
