The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) on Wednesday imposed banned on coverage of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rallies, days after the authority banned broadcast of ‘live or recorded’ speeches of the party’s Chairman Imran Khan.
The Pemra issued a notification on Wednesday, imposing a ban on the coverage of PTI election rallies on all satellite TV channels with immediate effects.
Following the issuance of the Pemra notification, PTI Vice President Fawad Chaudhry took his twitter handle and wrote that “Media has been banned from covering police brutality on protestors as Punjab is under East India Company and Mohsin Naqvi is the new Gen Dyer of Punjab.”
Last week, the Pemra imposed a ban on broadcasting ‘live and recorded’ speeches and press conferences of former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan on all satellite TV channels with immediate effect.
“It has been observed that Imran Khan [Chairman PTI] in his speeches/statements is continuously alleging state institutions stated the notification issued by the regulatory authority. PEMRA appears to be one eyes, it cannt see others doing more harm all it can see is Imran Khan and PTI.
