CJP orders action against obscenity on TV channels

The Supreme Court has ordered the Pakistan Electronic Media Regularity Authority (PEMRA) chairman to take measures to stop obscenity on TV channels. The orders came during the hearing of a petition against obscenity on TV channels. An SC bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was hearing the case. The CJ remarked: “We can’t watch TV with our families due to this vulgarity.” He said PEMRA would be responsible if obscenity was shown on TV channels. The PEMRA chairman told the court: “We are also family men and we take action over any such programme.” The CJ asked what action was taken against the channels to which the PEMRA chief said a number of TV channels had been fined and banned by the regulatory body.
