ISLAMABAD: Awami National Party (ANP) has opposed the expected imposition of ban on Geo News and the labeling as a traitor on the private news channel.
Secretary Information ANP and Senator Zahid Khan said that his party will strongly oppose a ban on Geo News and will not allow the channel to be labeled as a traitor.
Speaking to media on Friday, Zahid Khan said that difference of opinion was everyone’s right and it was a grave crime to label someone as a traitor. He said even the ANP had been labeled as a traitor.
Zahid Khan said that Article 6 of the Constitution makes it clear who a treason case can be initiated against. He added that cases such as treason against Geo are tarnishing the country’s dignity.
The ANP senator cautioned those leveling allegations against Hamid Mir, stating that when the Geo News senior anchor returns he will show them the truth.
Zahid Khan said Imran Khan should have called Geo a traitor and boycotted the channel prior to the elections when his party was being given extensive coverage.
