PEMRA has challenged the stay order of Sindh High Court in favor of Amir Liaquat Hussain and his programme ‘Aisey Nahi Chale Ga’,
Muhammad Tahir, the spokesperson for Pemra, confirmed on Monday that the authority has challenged the SHC’s stay order in the apex court.
Last week, the electronic media watchdog had banned the TV presenter and his programme on BOL TV for hate speech and incitement to violence.
The regulator, through an order issued on Thursday, had taken exception to the programme over its “controversial and hate-based contents” and barred Amir Liaquat from appearing on any TV screen.
But the channel defied Pemra’s directives in its night transmission, giving the host an opportunity to defend himself.
