ISLAMABAD - The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday granted relief to anchorperson Dr Amir Liaquat by allowing him to appear on television shows.
However IHC upheld a Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) decision to suspend his Ramazan TV show on *Bol TV*.
On May 25, the electronic media watchdog had slapped 30 days ban for creating "unwarranted drama" on religious matters during a segment of his programme aired last Friday.
Pemra had noted that Dr Liaquat "merely for creating sensation and in order to achieve maximum rating" had created "unwarranted drama on the basis of religion and hurt the sentiments of different sects and the public at large".
After inciting sectarian animosity, Dr Liaquat had "quit the show, leaving the live platform for the guest *ulemas* who exchanged quite harsh arguments", the notification had observed.
