To oppose the needless ban on the highly addictive video game, the “Tum Tum” singer took to his social media account on Twitter and requested Prime Minister Imran Khan not to let the youth down. In a series of tweets.

He also shared his opinions and thoughts on the issue. The famous singer said a video game ban will not make any difference unless we educate the youngsters.

#ImranKhanPUBGKholo 🙏🏽

Only if we invest in our education system as much, that we make our children – the future of this country, into humans with stable minds, we would never have to worry about any playform or game being harmful to the society. Basics change karo, pubg nahi.

I want to live in a country where there is no banning culture. Where the youth has enough awareness to know whats right & wrong for them. For that we must invest everything we can in our basics & schooling to get results in coming years. Not by banning games. #ImranKhanPUBGKholo

Asim also gave an example of how this practice of banning stuff is incorrect, case in point, YouTube’s ban has set Pakistani content creators back several years.

#ImranKhanPUBGKholo
Even tho I have never played this game but I believe in freedom of speech & actions that do not harm. I am with you guys & against the ban of any platforms or games. @ImranKhanPTI sir, the last time we banned something (YouTube) it took us so many years back.
