ISLAMABAD: A member of Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) Fareeha Iftikhar has said that we want to take a decision on the application of Ministry of Defence but government has made it an ego issue.
While talking to media, she said PEMRA is a complete and authoritative organization. And we think that government is involved with Geo and Jang group.
We could not take any decision because of government’s interference, told Iftikhar.
She further revealed that private members always take part in meetings but government members never show up.
Another PEMRA’s member Mian Shams said that we had decided to suspend the license but instead of channel’s closure, Geo is seeking new fronts.
