The bench noted that the participants in the programmes mock judiciary and other institutions and PEMRA remains silent.

Mostly people who don’t have any knowledge about our religion were allowed to sit in programmes and instead of guiding the viewers they misguided them.
Dunya on July 6 reported statement of Mufti Muneeb, he said in the name of Ramadan transmissions different channels have disrespected the sanctity of Ramadan for which they should apologize.

Everyday PTV telecast news on PMLN procession for elections, where on the other hand, there is not any single news related to PPP’s political procession.

Religion & role of media
Aman on July 10 published an article written by Abdul Latif Khalid Cheema with the title “Sahafati dehshatgardi ki bad-tareen misaal” in which the writer said, importance and need of media is increasing day by day, but several media houses and television channels are not taking care of religious harmony and country’s ideology and are telecasting such programmes that not only hurt the sentiments of viewers but also spread anarchy in the society. Such programme “Ramadan Hamara Emaan” was telecasted on Aaj TV on June 11 in which anchorperson Hamza Ali Abbasi discussed very sensitive issue related to Ahmaddiya Community.
The writer in his article requested PEMRA and other organizations to stop television channels from promoting secular extremism so it could destroy the beliefs of new generation.
