The country’s establishment has initiated a decisive crackdown on vloggers accused of spreading vulgarity through their videos over the internet, senior journalist and columnist Javed Chaudhry has claimed.

 

According to Chaudhry, the move is intended to curb the rising influence of indecent digital content, which the authorities believe is “eroding the country’s cultural and moral values”.

 

“Vloggers who create family-oriented content but use it as a medium to promote indecency and vulgarity are damaging the positive aspects of Pakistani society. These individuals will now face strict action,” he said in an undated video doing the rounds on social media.

 

He revealed that such vloggers would be summoned, similar to how TikToker Dania Shah’s husband, Hakeem Shehzad, was called in and made to apologise for his behaviour. “They will be given a chance to correct themselves. If they comply, they will be spared and society will be protected from their negative influence.”

 

Chaudhry added that those involved in promoting gambling and betting applications, flaunting wealth, or possessing illicit funds will also be targeted. “Authorities plan to confiscate any illegal earnings and demand public apologies from the offenders.”

 

He warned that more individuals will soon be seen appearing in court the authorities believe such influencers are leading youth astray. “People no longer aspire to learn or pursue education. Instead, they want to follow in the footsteps of vloggers like Ducky Bhai. Creating viral mobile clips in hopes of earning dollars,” Chaudhry remarked.

 

He emphasised that these content creators were “disrupting societal norms”, and a firm decision had been made to act against them in order to “safeguard the community”.

 

Chaudhry concluded by saying that a series of additional measures have been decided, all aimed at improving society and ensuring a positive long-term impact.

 

The claims come two days after social media influencer Dania Shah’s husband, Hakeem Shehzad, issued a public apology over his viral video at a wedding besides an audio wherein he had used explicit language.

 

The apology came after the Crime Control Department (CCD) summoned him regarding the incident audio, Shehzad said, adding that they told him how his actions were inappropriate and unacceptable.
