Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has distanced himself from the controversy and said that the ban would not be implemented.
It may be noted that the government had tried to curb mobile jokes last month also by imposing tax on them, but later it was withdrawn hurting the government further as jokes such as: "The government has imposed a tax on all messages. This means that until now President Zardari was getting abused for free. Now he'll get paid every time someone abuses him!" started doing rounds .
