A three-judge bench headed by Justice Amir Hani Muslim has issued a warning stating that if the channel's management does not cease airing the programme, the bench will initiate contempt of court proceedings against the channel as well as the anchor. The channel submitted an undertaking following that order.

The country's main media watchdog Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) had banned Amir Liaquat's programme on Bol News after he leveled allegations of blasphemy against civil society activists and bloggers.

PEMRA issued a notification on January 26 that stated, "Amir Liaquat and his programme have been banned with immediate effect for preaching hate."

"Amir Liaquat, the host of the programme named 'Aisay Nahi Chalay Ga' shall not host any programme or appear in any manner, including but not limited to, as a guest, analyst, reporter, actor, in audio, video beeper, promo/advertisement on BOL News," the notice further read.

PEMRA had taken this decision of banning the TV anchor after monitoring him for several weeks.
