Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) has sent the complaint of Maryam Nawaz against Channel 24 programme ‘Khara Such’ to its Council of Complaints for further action.
According to a press release issued by Pemra here on Tuesday, Maryam Nawaz in her complaint had stated that the host of the Channel 24 programme raised baseless allegations against her. She said that during the programme a photo was shown alleging that in the absence of the prime minister she was chairing a meeting of the federal secretaries but the picture shown was of January 14, 2014 when she was chairperson of PM’s Youth Loan Scheme and was chairing a meeting with regional heads of the National Bank of Pakistan at Prime Minister’s office.
During the programme Mubasher Lucman showed a two and a half years old picture and claimed that she was issuing directives to the Cabinet members and in the absence of her father Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who had undergone heart surgery in London recently was running the affairs of the state.
The anchor said that budget allocations were being made on the recommendations of Maryam Nawaz Sharif. He also claimed that Nawaz Sharif had violated official secrecy act and should he not be tried under Article 6. In the programme the host claimed that Maryam Nawaz also had the codes of Pakistan nuclear programme which is not possible as per law and the Constitution.
Levelling of such an allegation without any proof can raise several questions about Pakistan’s security and in the eyes of the world.
Through this programme effort has been made to create doubts in the eyes of the world, the press release mentioned.
Furthermore the host and participants of the programme have portrayed Maryam Nawaz as security risk for the country.
The anchor and participants have levelled serious allegations against Maryam Nawaz even termed her traitor.
Pemra has been asked to take action against them. Pemra has referred the complaint to its Council of Complaints for further action, the press release concluded
