ISLAMABAD – BOL News Monday hit back at the Pakistan Broadcasters Association (PBA) saying the ‘seths’ had teamed up against them once again.
In a report, the channel said that following BOL’s announcement of starting the ‘world’s biggest Ramzan transmission’, a few ‘corrupt seths’ led by Sultan Lakhani and Mir Ibrahim have attempted to use the PBA platform for their nefarious designs.
The PBA Monday published full-page advertisements in national dailies calling for the formation of a judicial commission to probe the assets and practices of BOL.
BOL saw these adverts as a serious violation of court orders.
It said in the report the public wanted to know for how long PBA would remain hostage to tax evaders and plunderers of national wealth.
In an obvious swipe at bitter rival Geo, it said the public wanted to know how long an organization declared anti-state by the armed forces, the government and the Supreme Court would continue to suppress the voice of a patriotic channel.
The report said the public was wondering for how much more time, the decisions of courts would continue to be violated by these ‘habitual culprits’.
It said that the people wanted to know that for how long BOL would be pressured.
It wondered when action would be initiated against channels that brought a bad name to Pakistan’s defense institutions, and proponents of greater India.
Is patriotism a crime, it asked and said no worries the seths had joined hands. "For us, Allah alone is enough."
