In addition, Advocate Hashmi, accompanied by Advocate Arbaz Khan, also brought it to the Council’s attention as well as shared with them all the relevant documents to show that the management of Geo News, after a quick fact-finding process, has removed from employment the person responsible for making the documentary as well as the member of the Editorial Panel who previewed it.

Lastly, Advocate Hashmi informed the Council that, in command to minimise the possibility of any such mistake taking place in the future, the management of Geo News has decided to make a respectable aalim (scholar) a part of its Editorial Panel who can keep an eye on sensitive religious content to be broadcast and can stop any mistake from taking place or being committed in the future.

The case refers to the hour-long religious travel documentary that included 13 regrettable, sensitive seconds of visuals for which Geo stopped its repeat immediately and deleted the content from digital press before Pemra’s formal notice.
