PEMRA hasn’t cleared that Journalists/Anchors cannot appear as an experts on other media channels in talk shows whereas the latest notification creates more confusion instead.

Meanwhile, MNA Asad Umar supports PEMRA on their initiative said “Amazing decision by pemra to stop anchors to go on any other talk show and express their opinion! PEMRA should be doing a better job talking action against completely fake news and not suppressing the right of individuals, including anchors, to express thir opinion.”
