ISLAMABAD : Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), was completely banned from giving lectures, presentations, or other public addresses on Sunday by the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra).

In a letter announcing its choice, the authority said that Khan’s utterances were often loaded with unfounded accusations and hate speech directed at public figures and institutions.

Such remarks, according to the regulating agency, are detrimental to upholding law and order and are likely to disrupt peace and serenity.

Pemra has ordered all satellite television stations to stop showing any comments, speeches, and discussions from the PTI chairman, whether they are recorded, live, or from a news conference.

According to Section 27 of the Pemra Ordinance 2002, the regulator has the authority to prohibit the airing of Imran’s statements. “Airing of unsubstantiated claims, nasty, slanderous and unjustified remark against state institutions and personnel are in blatant violation of Article 19 of the Constitution,” it said.
