NAWABSHAH, June 6: Nawabshah District Bar Association (DBA) on Wednesday condemned blocking of transmission of two private TV channels and demanded that the government should immediately withdraw the amended Pemra ordinance.
The lawyers said at a general body meeting of the bar presided over by DBA President Ali Mohammed Dahiri that the governments tended to attack freedom of press whenever they got weaker.
They vowed to support media community and said that the ordinance should not be presented in the National Assembly. If the government did not restore transmission and took back the ordinance they would not only move the higher courts but would also observe strikes, they warned.
