Zardari's 'shut up' video mysteriously disappears from internet | A small video showing Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari yelling 'shut up' at audience during his address has been mysteriously scrubbed off from internet. The video clip, which was played in endless loop on the dozen private
channels here, shows Zardari giving a speech in Urdu to a crowd that apparently
wasn't listening to him too closely. Annoyed with the chitchat from the inattentive
audience, Zardari looked down at someone and yelled, in English, "Shut Up!" After
remaining on airwaves for at least a week, the "shut up" video became so popular
that some even created remixes of it and posted them to YouTube, ABC News reports.
"Such behaviour is embarrassing for any politician, but especially for the president
of a country," wrote Adil Najam on Pakistan Twitterverse. However, the "shut up"
video on Pakistan Twitterverse, YouTube suddenly disappeared from Pakistani Internet
Service Providers. "It must be some restriction from government side. Zardari
might be blocking it himself!" a netizen laughed. It is not the first time that
Zardari's government has restricted critical speech. Last summer, the government
passed a law threatening anyone who sends text messages or e-mails that "slander
the political leadership of the country" with 14 years in prison. |
