Islamabad: The Supreme Court has ordered Pakistan Electronic Media Regularity Authority (PEMRA) chairman to take measures to stop obscenity on TV channels.
The orders came during the hearing of a petition against obscenity on TV channels.
An SC bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry was hearing the case.
The CJ remarked: We can’t watch TV with our families due to this vulgarity”. He said the PEMRA would be responsible if obscenity was shown on TV channels.
PEMRA Chairman told the court ” We are also family men and we take action over any such program”.
The CJ asked as to what action was taken against the channels. The PEMRA chief said a number of TV channels were finned and banned by the organization.
