Last week, Pemra banned the telecast of the PTI president's live speeches on all satellite TV channels over Imran's controversial remarks against police officers and a woman judge. On August 20, while addressing a rally in Islamabad to express solidarity with party leader Shahbaz Gill, who is facing trial in the sedition case, Imran warned the judiciary against its "partisan" approach.

 

Instructions to appoint Pemra as an officer

 

IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah said the watchdog had misused its authority and directed Pemra to appoint an officer who could justify the ban in court, according to the publication.
