LAHORE: A defamation notice has been served on president of ARY, Salman Iqbal and anchor Mubashir Luqman over pointing allegations of selling a functioning plane of Pakistan International Airline.
The defamation notice has been issued to them by Prime Minister’s Advisor Captain Shujaat Azeem, telling both of them to withdraw their allegations and tender an unconditional public apology.
The notice says in case of failure in tendering apology, proceedings for a fine of Rs500 million will be initiated.
It had been alleged that Shujaat Azeem had sold a functioning plane of PIA to a company run by her daughter.
Shujaat Azeem clarified that his daughter’s present age is only 16 years and she is still a school student. He said the record corroborates that PIA had not made a transaction for selling any of its plane.
Salman Iqbal, CEO of the ARY TV channel says that PEMRA is going to suspend ARY News Channel for 15 days and fine may also be imposed.
Is ARY going to pay the price of supporting Dharnas or it is the outcome of the programmes of Mubashir Luqman?
