Access to blogspot.com, the hosting domain that contains hundreds of blogs by Pakistani students and activists opposing President Pervez Musharraf’s rule, has been blocked or restricted across the country since Monday.

However, Information Technology Ministry member Nooruddin Baqai said that no instructions to ban certain websites had been issued by the Inter-Ministerial committee on national issues.

Students who bring out ‘The Emergency Times’ added a new post telling people how to dodge the block and read the e-newspaper.
