MANY TV channels, while telecasting live the address of the President of Pakistan from the Presidency, switched over to news headlines or news when it was time for the same. They returned to the President’s speech only after the news.

I wonder if that is the protocol? Seems unseemly, though.

Malik Mubashir A. Majoka

Lahore.
