Advocate Ayan Ali Memon stated that PEMRA illegally suspended license of Bol News without a meeting of the authority. He said SHC has already restrained PEMRA from proceeding against Bol without a show-cause notice and personal hearing.
“If the PEMRA meeting was not held yesterday, how can action be taken against the channel” said the lawyer.
He said channel is airing the rallies of the opposition parties. He further said broadcast was stopped earlier on the pretext of security clearance.
The court had ordered to restore the channel, but broadcasting was being stopped in many cities.
The lawyer said ban on live speeches of Imran Khan’s has been lifted by the Islamabad High Court.
Advocate of Bol Network, said Bol News is fully implementing the time delay mechanism as channel broadcasts Imran Khan’s recorded speeches.
