Pemra failed to abide by court direction regarding Khan's coverage: plea
LAHORE (Web Desk) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday filed a contempt plea in the Lahore High Court against the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra).
Mr Khan pleaded in the petition that the media regulator didn't lift the ban on his speeches despite the court orders.
Earlier, the Pemra had imposed a ban on PTI Chief's live coverage and telecast on March 5.
The petition stated that the court had directed the regulatory body not to ban the broadcasting of Mr Khan's speeches. "The respondent has failed to abide by his constitutional obligations envisaged under the Article 204 of the Constitution of Pakistan, 1973," the plea said.
