LAHORE: The central
body of Pakistan’s
cable operators has announced
to block all foreign news
channels in protest against the
lethal NATO raid which
martyred 24 Pakistani soldiers
in Momand Agency on
Saturday.
Addressing a news conference
here, president Cable Operators
Association of Pakistan (COAP),
Khalid Mehmood Arain said all
foreign news channels would
be blocked from tomorrow
(Wednesday) in first phase of
their protest against NATO
aggression.
He appealed Pakistan Electronic
Media Regulatory Authority
(PEMRA) to cancel landing
rights of all foreign new
channels being aired in
Pakistan in reaction to foreign
troops’ strike on country’s soil.
“This is our strong message to
all those countries conspiring
against Pakistan… Their anti
Pakistan channels would not be
allowed to broadcast here until
they stop the propaganda
against our country,” Arain
warned.
“Character-assassination of our
country, military and security
agencies would not be
tolerated,” he affirmed.
