ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) on Thursday issued show-cause notices to 17 television news channels for airing false news about the orders of the Lahore High Court banning anti-judiciary speeches of Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz.
The erring channels issued notices are Geo, Royal, Din, Samaa, DawnNews, ARY, Waqt, BOL, KTN, Kohinoor, Mashriq, Roze, 92 News, Dunya, Channel 5, Aaj and Express News.

The channel managers are required to appear for a personal hearing on April 24. The regulator warned of legal action if they did not respond.
