After coming into power, the PTI’s federal government had lifted political censorship on the state television channel and it now covers all political parties, including those on opposition benches.
On August 24, Chaudhry had announced that he is nominating members of two main opposition parties − Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar of the PPP and Ahmad Khan of the PML-N − for places on PTV’s editorial board.
