ISLAMABAD- An application has been filed to Pakistan
Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) against a private media group
(Geo News) for violating PEMRA rules on April 19, 2014.
The complainant journalist Khushnood Ali Khan in his
application stated that Geo News on April 19 violated PEMRA rules, after anchor
person Hamid Mir was shot in Karachi. The TV channel and its employees without
any concrete evidence blamed and held the Director General Inter-Services
Intelligence (ISI) and the Armed Forces of Pakistan responsible for the
shooting and murder attempt of Hamid Mir.
The application further stated that ISI and Armed Forces of
the state were vested with the task of safeguarding the security and integrity
of the country and any attempt to falsely malign them was prejudicial to the
security and integrity of Pakistan.
