People from various walks of life reacted angrily to suspension of 24NewsHD TV channel’s licence by the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra)
Senior journalist and TV anchor Hamid Mir said the media industry was already in crisis and the government should not have taken such a step in this situation. He linked Prime Minister Imran Khan to the ongoing action against the media and said such actions would tarnish Pakistan’s image at the international level. He said the government has strangled the media and 24NewsHD TV should move the court against suspension of its licence.
Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists Secretary General Rana Azeem said that suspension of licence was not an attack on 24NewsHD TV alone; it was an attack on the freedom of press and the PFUJ would not tolerate this “illegal action” of the government in any case. He said the PFUJ would launch a strong protest movement if the government does not withdraw its decision vis-à-vis suspension of the news channel’s licence with 48 hours.
