Pakistan Broadcasters Association in a meeting held on Friday suspended the membership of Geo News. The meeting was called to review defence ministry’s treason allegations against Geo News. PBA has also issued a show-notice to Geo News administration.
A representative from Geo was also present in the meeting.
The Pakistan Electronic Media Regularity Authority (Pemra) has already suspended the license issued to Geo News for a period of 15 days.
The defense ministry lodged a complaint against the channel and sought its license suspension for accusing the ISI and its chief, Lt Gen Zaheerul Islam, of being behind an attack in April on journalist Hamid Mir in Karachi.
