'Democracy means more than just holding elections; it means allowing institutions to perform their assigned role given in law and adherence to the rule of law by everyone in the country,' Pakistan Broadcasters Association said on Monday.
Pakistan Broadcasters Association, the premier electronic media body has expressed its deep concern at unlawful restrictions on transmission of two of its member networks - GEO Network and ARY Digital Network - in different cities of Sindh through various cable networks. The association has strongly condemned such action and demanded immediate restoration of the channels transmission.
Exactly one year back, two Pakistani channels were completely shut down throughout the world and now with the new democratic government it was hoped that such actions would not be repeated and media would not be penalised for playing its part in promoting and building progressive Pakistan.
But unfortunately, today, restricting the transmission of channels is very discouraging for the entire Pakistani media. The association has requested the President and the Prime Minister to take serious note of the issue and ensure that Pakistani media is protected against such unlawful actions.-PR
