ISLAMABAD: President and Managing Director Bol News Sami Abraham on Thursday said Bol News channel broadcasting was closed in most parts of the country for supporting the judiciary.
“Bol has been banned from broadcasting for speaking in support of the judiciary. At present, Bol is banned in 70% of Pakistan. Bol will continue to expose the propaganda of the PML-N goons. Bol will continue to speak for the judiciary,” Sami Abraham tweeted.
The senior journalist pleaded to the judiciary to take notice of the government’s revengeful actions against the channel for speaking the truth. He said intervention of the chief justice of Pakistan could resolve the issue, so “we request him to summon the relevant authorities and issue an order to resume airing of Bol transmission and stop harassing the channel owners.”
