Yesterday, PEMRA cancelled the licence of 24 News, Pakistan.
24 News broadcasting from Lahore, is one of the Pakistanis channel, which quite regularly broadcast fake news and targets PTI government excessively.
After cancellation of their Licence by PEMRA, Pakistani journalist organisations were condemning PTI government , terming it as unfair and constituting the step against the independence of the journalism.
This is once again cunning trick by Pakistani media. Pakistani media is out of order.
PEMRA took way to long to terminate the licence of this channel. They should have been taken it off the air years ago. They were operating against the Law and were in breach of the Licence awarded to them. Here is why.
The questions are,
1- How these criminals started a news channel illegally without having a Licence!!
2- Why PEMRA has kept quiet for years, why it didn't cancel their licence immediately, within weeks of the start of the transmissions!
3- Are Pakistani journalists organisations blind!! They have no respect and regard to the Law!! How can they term actions against an illegally operating channel as steps against independence of journalism!!
Pakistanis should consider all the above questions and understand what games are played.
The Channel continues to broadcast despite the termination of the Company's licence, the 24 News Channel never had a licence to broadcast news.
