ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Electronic media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has forwarded complaints filed by Geo News journalists Najam Sethi and Syed Talat Hussain (pictured) against a BOL News anchor and his program to its Council of Complaints.
The complaints pertain to hate speech by Aamir Liaquat Hussain and his incitement to violence in his program Aisay Nahi Chalay Ga.
PEMRA said it had sent the complaints to its Councils in Lahore and Islamabad for further action.
