NEW DELHI: India’s former external affairs minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Yashwant Sinha has called upon Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to save GEO TV from a complete closure.
According to Indian media, he made this demand in a letter to PM Nawaz Sharif while voicing support for Pakistan’s attacked journalist Hamid Mir.
Sinha also described the move as a “backward and retrograde step” decision by the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and Pakistan’s Defence Ministry to cancel Geo TV’s licence.
Pakistan’s Geo Television is facing a legal battle with country’s top agency ISIÂ after the channel broadcasted a news suspecting ISI chief of an assassination attempt on its journalist and anchor Hamid Mir.
