A PEMRA media release said the objectionable comment made by Arif Hameed Bhatti was aired in the program The Reporters on September 7.
The regulator later issued a show-cause notice to ARY and asked the management to explain its position.

PEMRA has also directed ARY to appoint an in-house committee to monitor the content and to provide its details within 15 days. The channel was also told to utilize its time-delay mechanism properly.
