Pakistan internet disrupted as opposition launches poll campaign

[Collection]Internet and social media services across Pakistan were severely disrupted Sunday night as the party of jailed former PM Imran Khan prepared to launch a massive online campaign ahead of elections. Khan and most senior leaders of his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party (PTI) have been rejected as candidates for the February 8 vote in what they say is a campaign by the military-led establishment to thwart their participation. PTI planned a massive national and global telethon Sunday evening to launch its manifesto and raise campaign funds, but internet disruptions started from early evening.
