Reports of National Assembly YouTube Channel Shutdown Found Baseless

he National Assembly’s YouTube channel was not shut down, and the news circulated in media and on social media is baseless. The National Assembly spokesperson said reports published in channels and newspapers about the channel’s shutdown are not based on facts. Technical issues arose because the social media server went down, due to which the channel became temporarily inactive. The spokesperson said the technical issue has been resolved and the channel is operational again, and the proceedings and speeches of the joint session of parliament have also been uploaded on the channel. The spokesperson added that fabricated news was spread about the channel’s shutdown, and the National Assembly Secretariat’s position was not taken before broadcasting or publishing the news.
