ISLAMABAD - Geo News penalised by Pakistan Media Regulatory Authority yet again over airing malicious campaign against Chairman NAB.
The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) on Tuesday slapped a fine of Rs1 million on *Geo News* for airing a "highly seditious and scandalous programme against National Accountability Bureau Chairman retired Justice Javed Iqbal and maligning state institutions".
According to Pemra, anchorperson Shahzaib Khanzada in his programme "*Aaj Shahzaib Khanzada Kay Sath,*" on July 18, discussed the matter of a scandalous video targeting the NAB chairman unilaterally, without taking into account the point of view of NAB.
The electronic media regulatory body in a statement said that *Geo News,* by airing the content, violated the "Electronic Media (Programmes and Advertisements) Code of Conduct 2015 and orders of the Supreme Court".
