Another Silent Attack on Independence Of Pakistan Electronic Media

by makiani on November 17, 2008

Once again media has to face challenges from the unknown forces and once again miracle happened in some part of Sind including the biggest city of Pakistan Karachi there Geo Network’s and ARY OneWorld transmission has been stopped on cable.

Cable operators blocked the transmission of Geo Network and ARY OneWorld in a number of areas across the city Monday morning, without assigning any reason for the stoppage. Similar reports of stoppage of Geo’s and ARY OneWorld are being received from different parts of Sindh including Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas and Sukkur. The government as well as Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has expressed unawareness about the stoppage of channels. Various political leaders and Civil Society condemned the blocking of Geo Network’s and ARY OneWorld telecast.

My Question is that if federal, provincial Government and PEMRA is not doing all of this so then who is behind this. i and millions of Pakistani want to know that what, why and who behind this.

I think the PEMRA should be dissolved for not knowing as to why two famous channels of Pakistan are down in one specific part of the country. Sherry Rehman should resign from her post as Information Minister when she herself is unaware of this episode.

Pakistan is ruled by WEALTHY illiterate Highway robbers and THUGS….democracy, Free Speech, live and let live, do not exist…Have you ever been subjected to an interrogation or even a visit to a FIA Centre after 9PM ? Where the drunk FIA Sadists torture their victims( even sodomized them) and their cries reach the Highest Heavens !! Political position is seen as means to amass wealth by looting the Treasury and grabbing choicest pieces of property… The leader of this tribe is the Bhutto and Zardari Clan on one side Sharif Bradri on the secon side …and not to be left out The Pir of London Sharif’s Chamchas who weigh him in Gold, and faint when he has constipation pains and gets admitted to Abbasi Hospital…but now resides in London at the cost of the hostages of Karachi, who are obliged to pay inflated telephone bills to cover his public adresses, and monthly Bhatta for his up- keep . God help you if you miss a payment… the operators in the telephone exchange, (his agents ) will threaten you to pay up, OR ELSE your kid will be kidnapped!!
So Thugs Rule Pakistan ! Period
