FORMAL COMPLAINT CLAIMS MEDIA OUTLET HAS MALIGNED A STATE INSTITUTION AND

RECOMMENDS THE CANCELLATION OF ITS BROADCAST LICENSE.

Pakistan’s Ministry of Defense on Tuesday submitted a formal complaint to the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA), seeking action against

Geo TV and Jang Group for defaming a state institution, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Directorate.

Submitted under the PEMRA Ordinance 2002, the complaint claims that Geo News launched a “vicious campaign” of “false accusations” against the ISI, a “stateinstitution tasked to work for the defense, sovereignty and integrity of Pakistan.” According to the complaint, “The telecast in question/campaign was aimed at …

falsely linking it [the ISI] with the terrorist outfits/activities.” The statement specifically noted the footage being re-broadcast in India. “Said footage was picked up by

foreign media particularly Indian Channels who instead of objectively reporting the incident overplayed it repeatedly,” it said.

“The said reporting has violated the specific terms and conditions of its license,” it said, adding that this was not an isolated incident. “Geo Network has a history of

acting illegally in furtherance of the anti-Pakistan agenda,” it said, offering to provide additional evidence if PEMRA required it.

According to the complaint, the editorial team and management of Geo has “clearly” violated PEMRA rules, including casting “aspersions against the Judiciary or

the integrity of the Armed Forces of Pakistan” and maligning “any individual in person or certain groups, segments of social, public and moral life of the country,” as

per PEMRA rules.

The complaint also points out that print media, especially newspapers published by the Jang Group, published “defamatory, libelous and scandalous material” and

reiterates that such “false, malicious and irresponsible” reporting is “continuation of policy” for Geo News.

Citing the evidence provided in its complaint, the Ministry of Defense has demanded that PEMRA “immediately” suspend the license of Geo News and, after

investigation, cancel it. In addition, it recommends commencing prosecution of the management of Geo under sections 33 and 36 of PEMRA Ordinance 2002.

Earlier in the day, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had condemned the attack on Hamid Mir, terming it a national tragedy. However, he said the ongoing

attacks on national institutions in the press were regrettable. “It is a matter of serious concern that national institutions are being attacked and blamed without any

evidence,” he said in a statement. Key national security institutions are not criticized and maligned in this manner anywhere in the world, he added.

The interior minister also condemned the dissemination of the negative propaganda through local organizations. “Our enemies” spread the information across the

globe, he said, in an apparent reference to pundits using the Geo reports to slate the ISI.

On April 19, around 5:30 p.m., Geo News anchor Hamid Mir, who hosts the showCapital Talk , was shot six times while traveling to the channel’s bureau in

Karachi. Shortly after the attack, the channel claimed—via his colleagues and family members—the injured anchor had alleged that if he were attacked, the ISI

and its chief, Lt. Gen. Zaheer ul Islam, should be held responsible. The channel then demanded action against the ISI with columnist Ansar Abbasi demanding that

the ISI chief resign to save face.The military’s Inter-Services Public Relations wing responded by condemning the attack. However, a spokesman said the channel’s accusations were misleading.

“Raising allegations against ISI or the head of the ISI without any basis is highly regrettable and misleading,” the spokesman added.

6 Incidents When Geo Should Have Been Banned Earlier

By Naqi Zafar

Published 8 months ago |Entertainment

7/21/2019 Jang Group

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jang-group 9/10

Geo Television Network has been a part of various controversies over the years. The most recent controversy of Shahista Wahidi’s

blasphemous act on air during the morning show “Utho Jago Pakistan”, has led to the ban of entire Geo Network.

PEMRA took notice of the never-ending complaints against Geo, filed by people belonging to seemingly every strata of life. The decision by Pakistan

Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) did not come immediately; in fact it took almost a month for it to roll out this conclusive decision that

stands valid at least till 28th May 2014.

Geo TV is the ultimate product of the pioneering media house, Jang Group that has literally laid the foundations of the print media in Pakistan. Mir

Khalil ur Rehman – the man behind Jang Group of Newspapers, grounded this empire long before anyone else thus marking an unsaid monopoly of

 jang Group in the media industry of Pakistan.

When Jang Group’s heir Geo entered satellite television industry, it inherited the monopoly in its legacy. Thus beings the era of GEO’s unparalleled

‘hounding’ to anything & anyone that dared to stand in its way.

Let’s talk about Geo Network’s rich history of getting into controversies with big names, a few of which are:

1. GEO/Jang vs. Aamir Liaquat

The great entertainer, Aamir Liaquat is renowned for his loyalties with GEO TV. but little do people remember the time when Aamir Liaquat left Geo for

ARY, only to be humiliated in public by a video that got leaked on the internet by a certain “unnamed” source that would have ruined any other Islamicscholars’ career but NOT Aamir Liaquat. No Sire, Aamir not only bounced back from that video he bounced back in GEO.

However GEOs’ blackmailing did not go unnoticed, many still believe that the video was only the first step to blackmail the prodigal son ‘Aamir Liaquat’

to return back home.

2. Geo/Jang & Nadia khan VS Noor & Husband

Nadia Khan, the founder of morning shows in Pakistan did something so absurd that remained the most inexplicably senseless move in any show

perhaps anywhere in the world.

In 2010, morning show on Geo hosted by Nadia Khan was banned by UAE government. The show was banned due to privacy concerns raised by the

husband of a former Pakistani actress, Noor. Nadia Khan, the show’s host was accused of making a family matter public which should have stayed

between the actress and her husband.

3. Geo/Jang vs. AXACT

Geo along with its publication side Jang was previously sued by Axact, a reputable IT company of Pakistan for propagating fake news against it. The

case was taken to high court of Pakistan and later on Geo came out as the culprit along with the imposition of a heavy fine.

4. Geo vs. Govt. of Pakistan

Except for this, Geo had previously been under turmoil for raising questions on the conducted elections, i.e. taking up sides of the opposition party and

standing up against the government of Pakistan.

5. Geo vs. ISI

Also Geo TV was accused of overplaying on the assassination attempt of Hamid Mir, when it blamed the prime intelligence agency of Pakistan, ISI of

being involved in the assassination, that too without any proofs.

7/21/2019 Jang Group

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/jang-group 10/10

6. Geo vs. PTI

The political leader and the founder of PTI, Imran Khan has also publicly accused Geo of telecasting personal judgments instead of going for a neutral

approach during its broadcasts, as it is media’s duty to be as neutral as possible.

Geo yet existed till a few days back even after these controversial happenings. But the latest epic controversy of Shahista Wahidi’s blasphemous act

placed an end to Geo’s invulnerability, immediately imposing a ban on all of the channel’s telecasts, causing Geo to go completely offline.
