ISLAMABAD, August 22, 2022 (TBNN)
Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan has been slapped with a F.I.R. under the Anti-Terrorism Act (A.T.A.). Imran Khan has been booked for threatening a judge and two top officials while addressing a rally in Islamabad.
Earlier, Pakistan’s electronic media watchdog banned satellite television channels from broadcasting live speeches of ousted prime minister Imran Khan, hours after he threatened state institutions and made provocative statements during a public rally.
The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (P.E.M.R.A.) said that Imran’s recorded speech would only be permitted to be aired after an effective delay mechanism to ensure effective monitoring and editorial control.
Imran Khan, while addressing a public gathering threatened to file cases against top police officials, a woman magistrate, the Election Commission of Pakistan and political opponents over the treatment meted out to his aide Shahbaz Gill, who was arrested last week on charges of sedition.
Interior Minister of Pakistan Rana Sanaullah said that the speech by Imran Khan was a continuation of a trend to target the army and other institutions
