ISLAMABAD: Siasat.pk, which is one of the oldest and most popular political online discussion forums of Pakistan, has closed its Islamabad office after 14 years.
The closure will render many of its young employees jobless and has also brought an end to its physical presence in the country as well.
It came into being in the early 2000s and then became a prime platform for political news, debates, and community discussions, receiving thousands of visitors every day. Its forums in politics, social issues, and current affairs altogether give a voice to the ordinary citizen in the national debate.
It will also announce that government pressures and regulatory challenges have made it increasingly difficult to continue operating from the capital.
It is estimated that the closure may take a toll on Pakistan’s digital media, reducing new opportunities for young professionals in journalism and digital content creation.
