“To ensure with immediate effect that Mubashir Lucman does not participate in any program on ARY News or on any other TV channel being aired in Pakistan either as a host or as an observer or as a participant,” press release said.

Furthermore, court orders have been circulated to all the satellite TV channels (News & Current Affairs) to comply with the orders of the high court in letter and spirit.

We need few other anchors also to get banned, that's not journalism they doing they are all propaganda tools working for political parties.

That good news

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Disappointing because he was reporting some really good "nationalistically good" material exposing government's wrong doings

A bad trend to ban legitimately good anchor

Very unfortunate and very illegal to ban him. He should be taken to court and tried if anyone has any issues with his show or what he says but banning him is way over the top.
