ISLAMABAD, May 20 (TNS): The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) has issued the final warning to 45 TV channels to telecast Azaan five times a day, says a press release issued by the regulator.
According to press release, Pemra warned the TV channels that if they did not immediately start airing Azaan, their licences would be revoked.
The warning came after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on May 9 directed the TV channels to telecast Azaan five times a day. A single bench comprising Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui had issued the order while hearing a petition against the violation of the code of conduct for morning shows and Ramazan transmission by some TV channels.
The court had also directed Pemra to submit a detailed report in this regard.
