Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday urged the nation to boycott Geo group for airing a controversial and offensive show in its morning program.
Addressing a press conference on Saturday, Khan accused the Geo group of receiving foreign funding to set agendas in Pakistan.
“Mir Shakeelur Rehman is a blackmailer. I demand that there should an independent audit of assets of Jang/Geo group.”
“He (Rehman) is an anti-state figure, who has maligned ISI chief on dictates of anti-Pakistan forces,” he said. “Rehman has become a pharaoh, who thinks that he can seat and unseat governments.”
The PTI chief demanded of Geo management to apologise to nation for airing an offensive program in its morning show.
He alleged that Geo/Jang group was tax and PEMRA defaulter.
“Geo and PML-N’s interests are inter-linked; Najam Sethi was made the PCB Chief to have rights of cricket series. The nexus of PML-N and Geo was further exposed after PEMRA chief was fired by government on Mir Shakeelur Rehman’s desire.
Under the rules, PEMRA can allow license of only four channels, but Geo was seeking 5th license, he stated.
PTI demands that Geo group should tender a public apology for running a campaign against Imran Khan,” he added.
