These are busy times for west London engineer Ghulam Mustafa. His website, Pakistan Politics, was set up in July after the first stand-off between President Pervez Musharraf and the judiciary.
But since the army general declared a state of emergency in Pakistan on Saturday, including severe restrictions on the country’s print and broadcast media, handling e-mail queries and updating the site has taken over his life.
"It’s more than a full-time job. Some nights I can’t sleep," he told AFP by telephone Tuesday.
The site, http://pkpolitics.com had a modest 6,000 hits in its first four months. It has now passed the half-million mark after the weekend’s events, requiring Mustafa to get extra bandwidth to prevent the site crashing.
The BBC World Service radio’s Urdu section has upped its output from two hours a day to three and a half, its boss Mohammed Hanif told AFP.
Their 10-million-strong audience has also seen a "big surge," including in Gulf states, where there are many expatriate Pakistani workers.
And like satellite dishes, sales of short- and medium-wave radios have reportedly increased in Pakistan, he said, as locals clamour for hard fact instead of rumour.
Hanif likened the situation to the days when BBC World Service foreign language stations provided information to the Soviet bloc, although the Internet has become a new source of news since then.
"People have been calling our offices every hour to get their hourly updates. They’re so used to 24/7 news channels that they come to expect something," he said.
"For the last few days, we’ve been feeling like we’re back in the days of the Cold War. People have been ringing and saying ‘what’s going on?’ but they’ve been in Karachi."
Mustafa said unrestricted, foreign-based media are as a result providing a vital role.
"There’s no independent media. People have no source of information. This is the ideal environment for rumours," said Mustafa, who originates from Lahore, in the Punjab.
"This is increasing the uncertain situation. People are terrified about what’s going on, what’s going to happen."
Among recent speculation have been claims that Musharraf has been detained by army generals or that he was about to flee to Turkey. Opposition leader and former cricketer Imran Khan was said to have been assassinated.
Like a number of independent Pakistani channels such as GEO TV or ARY One, pkpolitics.com contains video clips and streaming, as well as audio, for those without access to satellite television.
But the site has also become a forum for discussion and mobilising protest.
Mustafa himself declares no political affiliation other than being "pro-democracy, never pro-dictatorship" but says with Pakistani troops cracking down on dissent on the streets, it is vital expats keep up the pressure.
A demonstration is planned for Wednesday outside the Pakistan High Commission in west London, involving students, lawyers and members of all political parties.
They include former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistani Muslim League, Khan’s Movement for Justice and other parties in the political alliance opposed to Musharraf’s regime.
Mustafa said Sharif’s brother, Shahbaz, was also expected to attend as similar protests are organised around Britain and further afield in countries like the Netherlands, France, Germany and the United States.
"We’re in a better position to give them this message to the West or what Musharraf is doing for his personal power," he added.
"He’s trying to fool the Western world in the name of the war on terrorism which is nothing to do with it.
"You can’t fight terrorism whilst the people of that country and society are not with you."
