Aamir Liaquat launches news website
Aamir Liaquat has introduced his new news website alhnews.com, which offers various content in Urdu. Despite his recent ban from hosting, he aims to remain in the public eye.

ISLAMABAD – Controversial anchor Aamir Liaquat Hussain has launched his own website alhnews.com perhaps in a bid to stay in the news.

The all-Urdu website appears quite comprehensive with not just national news but also international events, features, columns, science and technology, health, business, and more.

Liaquat said in a tweet his site was being appreciated globally.

In December, Liaquat had joined Channel 24 as president but has not hosted any program because of a ban imposed on him by PEMRA.

Insiders at the Channel 24 do not have any clue as to his current status. They say he did show up at an annual event organized at the start of the month in Lahore.

KEY POINTS:

  • Aamir Liaquat launched alhnews.com to provide an all-Urdu news platform.
  • The website features national news, science, technology, and health topics.
  • Liaquat's current status at Channel 24 remains uncertain due to a ban.
  • The site has received global appreciation as per Liaquat's tweet.
  • The launch may help him stay relevant in the media landscape.
