| Geo Banned by PEMRA |
Islamabad : Pakistan Electronic Media Authority (PEMRA) has cancelled the licence for three of Geo News Channels: Geo News, Geo Entertainment and Geo Teez for violating the code of conduct.
Five private members, Zeba Hassan from Sindh, Mian Shams ur Rehman from Punjab, Shama Perveen Magsi from Baluchistan, Fareha Iftikhar from KPK, and Israr Abbasi from Gilgit Biltistan participated in PEMRA's 97th scheduled meeting with out government members and gave the ruling.
The members declared that they were tried to be bribed by Mir Shakeel ur Rehman but they can not deceive their conscious.
The private members announced that they have called another meeting on 28th May and hoped that government members will participate in that meeting to endorse their decision.
Geo is facing harsh criticism after it criticized Pakistani intelligence agency ISI just after Hamid Mir attacked in Karachi and on running a blasphemous programme on its morning show.
