I salute Pakistani Bloggers!

Tags: bloggers movement, pakistan bloggers, pakistan bloggers movement, PBM, protest against US

Few months back, when USA violated our borders and attacked inside Pakistan, I immediately wrote a protest post about it. I thought a post isn’t sufficient, I need to do more in order to get my voice be heard. I initiated Pakistan Bloggers Movement to invite all the bloggers to join the protest. I created a protest badge also, to be displayed on blogs. To my surprise, Pakistani bloggers including a couple of top bloggers joined the movement and did a dedicated post about the protest.

I was also offering a link back to the members’ blogs. A couple of bloggers joined the movement just for the link back, neverthless, hundreds of blogs joined the movement and displayed the badge without even notifying me for the link back. And you might have noticed this badge on various Pakistani blogs.

So I really salute and appreciate all those bloggers who realized their responsibility and joined us in raising voice. Therefor we were been heard and featured in various international news websites and blogs.

Lahore: Bloggers Meetup at LUMS, PBM members gotta be there!

AOA Farhan,
I am really delighted to see your blog site. I just wonder how i missed the Protest by Pakistani Bloggers and therefore failed to display the badge at http://www.pro-pakistan.com
Please let me know if we are still into it so that i can display the badge at Pro Pakistan. Moreover, i have given my email address with this post so kindly use it to update me on any such protest in future. Pro Pakistan team would love to be part of any such activity.
Wish you best of luck.
