Fazalur Rehman Denounces Suspension Of AbbTakk’s Transmission

ISLAMABAD: Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman, President of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI), has said that no sanctions on media shall be tolerated, condemning the halting of transmission of AbbTakk News and other two private channels.

Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) on Monday had suspended the transmission of AbbTakk news and a couple of other private TV channels in several cities across the country including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Multan and Hyderabad.

The move was termed as another attack on ‘Freedom of Expression’ by various journalistic unions and newsmen.

In this regard, Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman asked Prime Minister Imran Khan to take back the decision of “forcibly suspending” the transmissions of news channels.

“Media does not seem to have autonomy in Naya Pakistan. We cannot endure this at any cost”, the politician affirmed.
