Absar Alam Defends Issuance Of New Licences
July 31, 2019
– I don’t think PEMRA has any role to play in this unless – they receive some complaint about the content of a program – In that case PEMRA can take legal action but it is quite time taking – So in my opinion, media houses, Pakistan Broadcasters Association, – Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists and the working journalists – should not adopt self-censorship and stand against the pressures – that are in violation of the constitution Media channels are unable to pay their employees, yet PEMRA is issuing new licences; what would you say about it?
