Govt Bans Kamran Khan’s GEO.tv Show

Kamran Khan CensoredToday at 11:05pm the regularly scheduled show titled “Aaj Kamran Khan Key Sath which is hosted by the outspoken Kamran Khan was stopped from airing, people witnessing the live feed noticed a sudden block lasting for ten minutes after which the show was replaced by some other programming for the allotted time.

There is no doubt that this blatant censorship is quite contrary to the open attitude as being portrayed by the Emperor Pervaiz Musharraf. Geo.tv reports

KARACHI: Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has imposed ban on “Aaj Kamran Khan Key Sath, the famous programme of Geo Television Network. “Aaj Kamran Khan Key Sath has been stopped as the government has imposed ban on it, said the spokesman of the Geo Television Network. It was regretted at 11:05 PM, when this programme starts daily, that the programme could not be aired due to government ban. Reacting to the ban on this programme, Kamran Khan, the host of the programme, condemned the government action and said that there was no other agenda of the said programme except making people aware of real facts and correct analysis. GEO.TV

This is in line with the gag order that also has been placed on all media outlets restricting all talk shows and discussions to not steer away from the drafted press release as released by the Ministry of Information. The Supreme Judicial Council is to make its hearing behind closed doors and the judgement will be read and explained with all his extra garnishing on line TV during the emperors address to the nation. Justice served by a dictator how ironical. I PROTEST, you can also join the protest by signing the petition which is titled – Pakistanis Condemning the Mockery of the Judicial System in Pakistan Petition floated by Proud-Pakistanis.com

    Musharraf is doing great JOB for Pakistan REM? Right… I am already seeing that.

    They have stormed GEO Office in Islamabad already. This is no FREEDOM of so called SPEECH they are giving.

    When you have got two evils to choose from , you always opt for lesser evil, don’t you?

    I agree with rem.

    If you talk abt freedom of speech, so my friends it doesnt exist not even in the liberal and democratic countries like UK and USA.

    Read what Morrissey(Vocalist/Lyricist) said abt freedom of speech after he was interrogated by FBI and British intelligence,

    I watched his interview in which he spoke about his ordeal.

    MORRISSEY was quizzed by the FBI and British intelligence after speaking out against the American and British governments.

    The Brit is a famous critic of the US-led war in Iraq and has dubbed President GEORGE W BUSH a “terrorist” – but he was baffled to be hauled in by authorities.

    Morrissey explains, “The FBI and the Special Branch have investigated me and I’ve been interviewed and taped and so forth.

    “They were trying to determine if I was a threat to the government, and similarly in England. But it didn’t take them very long to realise that I’m not.

    “I don’t belong to any political groups, I don’t really say anything unless I’m asked directly and I don’t even demonstrate in public. I always assume that so-called authoritarian figures just assume that pop/rock music is slightly insane and an untouchable platform for the working classes to stand up and say something noticeable.

    “My view is that neither England or America are democratic societies. You can’t really speak your mind and if you do you’re investigated.”

    what’s wrong with musshy? has power gone to his head? if he were an autocrat (no wait he is an autocrat) he would execute people for treason aka. talking against musshy. so much for freedom of the press. if he can ban a program then he may as well ban all newspapers and all news channels as well. musshy is like an overgrown party pooper who cant stand criticism and always wants to crash everyone else’s party. grow up and get a life musshy.

    whatever we are witnessing at this juncture of the betrayed history of this country is a clear manifestation of going down the slope but this current crises is a solid proof of the fact that there is always an undercurrent of vitality and dynamism under the apparently hopless cover of sloth and stagnation.

    Geo and other TV chelels are the illigitimate sons and daughter of capitalism. What went wrong or what is wrong is not there question of interest but they only focus the ways how to acumelate more capital. They sell every thing Rasullah(s.w) Almighty and what not to acumelate capital. The very important thing for them is to show something abnormal as in the defination of news in genralism “If a dog bite” man will be a news.

    Want to ask Aaj-TV, how it is possible to have only 5 bllutes on the wal during 6 hours attack on TV building, the rate of firing was 1 fire/hour.
    Our media (print/electrinic) is biyest and one sided, they are doing yellow journalisum.
    it was media who put Karachi on fire in July 1971/72 when Daily-Jang published issued with heading “Urdu Ka Janaza Hay, Zara Dhoom sa Niklay”

    and hundereds of people were killed in police firing.
    Why every time when there is any loss of lives (even in natural disasters, like heavy rains/stroms)the city nazim of Karachi is pulled on TV talk shows, and made to justify his performance, why not ever Hazrat Naimatullah (ex-nazim) was brought to ask why bridgr near COD is demmaged in every rain, it was built by ex-nazim, why Naimatullah spent money of Karachi in making Parks (and alloted canteens to his relatives). It was ex-nazim who sold Foot-Paths and we are now suffering.

    This is unbelievable

    this is starting of first step to make Pakistan what atta-turk did with Turkey.I am afriad one day, there will be no mosque to offer prayers & no platform or court to express views openly. But,i think we are responsible for it because when we will not support a right path then how can we expact right.

    Excuse me. When was the judiciary so independent till now. Have the courts been attacked like in the previous governments. And being the third most corrupt department our so called judiciary should shape up and concentrate on clearing the backlog of cases. Justice delayed is justice denied.

    Kamran Khan was a very brilliant journalist in his early time of profession since he joined the Geo TV he become a news caster and commentator.
    Pakistan is loosing its emage due to the number of reasons and the irresponsible media is one of them.
    Time is favouring Musharraf.
    First he disfunctional Chief Justice and then accept the judgment of Court to restore the Chief Justice which creates the confidence of the people on Chief justice, then he released Jawaid hashmi again peole shown confidance the last he favours nawaz sharif to come to Pakistan.
    If the cases against nawaz Sharif reopens with the substantial proves the Chesf Justice may decide the case against Nawaz Sharif and then people has to accept.

    I hope the times of all currupt Pakistani Politicians who do not beleive anything other then “KURSI” is over. I was listening to Shahbaz sharrif on Geo TV and appriciate Mr Kamran Khans questions to him and leaving him speechless! He had no answers and he was bit shocked. Very good Mr. Kamran Khan. These people had their times not just once but alot of time but they were the same dishonnest and corrupt it is in their nature which cannot be changed. Benazir is no 1 and Nawaz shariff is no. 2. Please bo not bring these people to heroic position please do not forget their past

    Dear Kamran Sahab,
    With reference to your Kamran Khan Show I want to submit my recentment that the government has recently passed the law ( Amenity for all the politians)which means that those who made corruption of bilions of rupees,the income of poor people as well as the resources of developing country are now free and may take role again.It is the responsibility of the Supreme court to take action and reject the law.
    Where our country Pakistan is going and what will be the future of pakistan?

    emergency is the polite name of Martial Law.it is the bad luck of pakistani people that Musharaf is the president and the shaukat is the prime minister because they are trying to abolish all the departments which are not able to support them like judiciary and media.and most senior judges like Khawaja Shareef and Saqib Nesar gave their sacrifice and when we see the bull shit of our leader then only desire arises that we should leave the country.i pray for all the Lawyers, who are facing the state terrisiom.they have done well and doing well

    I strongly condemn the state of Emergency in Pakistan & the black out.I believe that we the Pakistanis, must speak out & protest against the current situation.It is now or never situation. It is for us to decide now, that how long will we let such DICTATERS to rule our country.How long Will we Bear Their INJUST Behavior and their hypocracy?
    If the supreme court was about to rule in gOvernment’s favour , then everything was alright .While on the other hand they had other options like the state of EMERGENCY. HOW CONVENIENT!!!
    It is so terribly easy to blame terrorism & Bomb blasts for Every decision that you make to prolong your DICTATERSHIP
    MAY GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE WHO STAND UP AGAINST YOUR INJUSTICE
