ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) has barred actor Hamza Ali Abbasi and TV show host Shabbir Abu Talib from hosting their Ramazan shows on Aaj TV and News One respectively.
In a statement issued on Friday, Pemra said that it had received 1,133 complaints through Whatsapp, Twitter and telephone calls regarding the transmissions.
The complainants said both shows had aired provocative content.
"During these transmissions, ratings remain the focus under the guise of Ramazan shows," read the Pemra statement, adding that "provocative conversations took place during the shows which has led to much anger and sadness".
The regulatory body asked Aaj TV and TV One to implement the decision by 7pm on June 17, 2016.
"Even after clear instructions from Pemra, unfortunately TV channel owners, anchors and audience indulged in non-serious and irresponsible conversations," added the statement.
The Pemra notification further adds if the hosts Hamza Ali Abbasi, Shabbir Abu Talib and religious preacher Maulana Kokab Noorani appear on any other channel and discuss this particular controversial issue or any other such topic, then that programme will also be banned.
The regulatory authority has notified the concerned individuals in this regard and has asked them to appear before the Complaints Council Karachi and record their statements on June 20, after which Pemra will announce its decision.
Hamza, co-host of Aaj TV's post-Iftar transmission, Ramzan Hamara Emaan with Aisha Khan for Aaj TV, was holding discussions on the Ahmadi community and blasphemy laws during his show.
"Why is Ahmadi such a taboo word? Ideological stances aside, my only goal is that when an Ahmadi is killed or persecuted, the media shouldn't be scared to talk about it," he had said.
Past bans
Earlier, the regulatory authority announced a ban on shows dramatising crimes such as rape, murder, robberies and suicide.
Addressing a press conference, Pemra chairman Absar Alam had said that the authority has decided to ban such shows which re-enact crimes such as murders and suicide, and those that raid places in the name of investigative journalism.
The authority had stated it was forming a code of conduct and rules and regulations, which will soon be issued to the channels.
Pemra had also directed TV and Radio channels to "immediately stop" airing advertisements marketing contraceptives and family planning products, according to a notification issued to all media organisations in May.
The ban on contraceptives and family planning products was lifted a day later.
Geo Entertainment channel had received a show cause notice earlier this week for airing inappropriate content including ‘suicide scenes’ during its programme and has ordered the channel to explain its position before the authority on June 21.
Hum TV's child abuse drama 'Udaari' was also served a notice by Pemra, which asked for explanation of a couple of scenes in the May 8 episode of the drama series.

This is ridiculous! PEMRA itself should be banned. Just because they received a 1000 plus complaints (which can be very easily generated given today's social media) against something does not mean the transmission should be banned.
I'm not a Hamza Abbassi fan but I really really appreciate him highlighting serious issues which even our brave media men dare not talk about. Talking about minorities' rights is just the beginning. It's not just Ahmedis. People from all minorities feel threatened in Pakistan and they've been fleeing Pakistan for years now.
I think PEMRA should at least allow people to hear him out. It's not like he's committing a crime.

Word of mouth cannot be retaliated to with a gun or sword! Such actions are defined as barbaric in the modern world. The challenge now is to the silent majority in our country to rise and tell Pemra that many many many people over and above 1133 believe that religious intolerance is wrong and faith and religion should have nothing to do with the matters of the state.

Citing live who is ardent Muslim and who is otherwise is not good as it causes hatred and antagonism which in turn, gives rise to religious disharmony and chaos.

There is nothing wrong in talking about things. What makes the difference is if the subject is discussed fairly from all aspects and in all fairness and not just because it suits the temperament of the host or his narrow focus on little picture rather than the big picture and issues involved. Yes minorities have the rights but it should not be at the expense of taking away the rights of majority. At the same time experts should be invited to discuss the topic rather than the host pretending to be an expert with a few selected "yes man" guests also pretending to experts on the subject.

Now I understand, when a state did not take notice of general public views, when a state did impose their own ideology on almost every matter, when a state bring people on different post to which they are not eligible. Then a new generation of thoughts come arise, who provides food for thought on different issues of the state.
State should always remain state, not a KING of the jungle. It is my sincere advice to state actors whether sitting in ministry's track, bureaucracy's track, religious track that, they should learn and learn from their past, and be a good human being first.
