Govt bans Geo’s Aaj Kamran Khan Key Saath
Daily Times, March 16, 2007
KARACHI: The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) ordered the management of the Geo television network on Thursday night to stop airing its flagship daily news programme Aaj Kamran Khan Key Saath with immediate effect, according to a spokesman for Geo News. As per the government order, Geo News aired an apology to its viewers at 11:05 pm, the regular time for the programme, explaining the government order that led to the banning of the show. The ban was apparently imposed because the government disliked the coverage on the show of the suspension of Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry and the reaction to it. “I never knew that the government would get so desperate and lose patience so soon with this free flow of information,” said Khan. “We never had an agenda other than providing people the most accurate news and an objective analysis on this most important turning point in our history.” staff report
