ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Monday (Today) temporarily banned Aamir Liaquat Hussain’s TV show ‘Aisay Nahi Chalay Ga’ on Bol News.
A three-judge bench headed by Justice Amir Hani Muslim issued a warning stating that if the channel’s management does not stop airing the programme, the bench will initiate contempt of court proceedings against the channel as well as the anchor.
The hearing of the case has been adjourned till Wednesday.
Recently, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) banned Amir Liaquat after it found that Liaquat has violated several clauses of the Pemra Ordinance and Rules in his programme which the authority had been monitoring for several weeks.
The Pemra statement made it clear that if Amir Liaquat “continues to abuse freedom of speech and violates PEMRA Code of Conduct 2015, PEMRA Ordinance 2002, Rules and Regulations on any other TV channel(s), the Authority shall invoke Section 27 of PEMRA Ordinance 2002 against that TV channel.”
