Here is exact copy of article 19 and 19A, constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, that deals with freedom of speech and its limits thereof.
19 Freedom of speech, etc.
Every citizen shall have the right to freedom of speech and expression, and there shall be freedom of the press, subject to any reasonable restrictions imposed by law in the interest of the glory of Islam or the integrity, security or defence of Pakistan or any part thereof, friendly relations with foreign States, public order, decency or morality, or in relation to contempt of court, 30[commission of] 30 or incitement to an offence.
19A. Right to information:
Every citizen shall have the right to have access to information in all matters of public importance subject to regulation and reasonable restrictions imposed by law.
Please be informed that freedom of speech is not unlimited and is subject to restrictions as governed by constitution of Pakistan. As to whether speeches of Mr. Altaf Hussain, citizen of United Kingdom and ex-citizen of Pakistan, are within such limits or not, I leave to the judgement of readers and your own.
@Emmie
Agreed ... Freedom of speech is not unlimited ... I am also in favor to not telecasting his live speeches on media ... But what is this bull$hit desicion that his images and any news belongs to him would not be telecasted at any channel
So if TTP registers itself as a political party, we would have to listen to the sermons of Mullah Radio because its their 'basic right to free speech'?
First make sure that mulla radio can get votes or not because supporters and facilitators are largely rejected by Pakistanis
