RAWALPINDI: Popular cricket teams and clubs of the city here on Thursday held a protest in collaboration with the Civil Society Pakistan against the restrictions on Geo Super and Aag.
Protesters holding cricket bats and wickets chanted slogans against the government and Pemra. Members and cricketers of Raja Club, Shaheen Club, and Pakistan Club took part in the protest besides schoolchildren.
Addressing the protesters, Civil Society Pakistan president Azhar Mir demanded of President Asif Ali Zardari to remove the acting president of Pemra.
