The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has imposed a ban on broadcasting “live and recorded” speeches and press conferences of former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on all satellite TV channels with immediate effect, Pakistan based TV Network ARY News reported on Sunday, ANI reported.

“It has been observed that Imran Khan [Chairman PTI] in his speeches/statements is continuously alleging state institutions by levelling baseless allegations and spreading hate speech through his provocative statements against state institutions and officers which is prejudicial to the maintenance of law and order and is likely to disturb public peace and tranquillity,” the PEMRA said.
