Imran Khan’s government has mandated all news channels to show Pakistani maps every day before air, news bulletin 9 nights, news agency Ani reported quoting local media.
The Pakistani Electronic Regulatory Authority (Pemra) has issued a notice to display a new map of Pakistan approved by Prime Minister Imran Khan in August, reported Ary News.
The streamlining letter is streamlining the use of the Pakistani political map properly stated, “All news channels (both public and private) must flash Pakistani politics for 02 seconds before airing news bullets at 9:00.” This directs all satellite TV channel license holders to comply with recommendations.
The letter quoted a reference from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on this issue.
Former Kanwal Foreign Sibal said: “The fact that they will show whatever they want to show as part of Pakistan will not change reality in the field.
The only thing they will introduce other wrinkles in that relationship, stepping back is very difficult for them because Will be treated as a political retreat.
“Sibal said that Pakistan’s formation tried to” turn his attention “his audience but this was no more than” without mindless provocation “against India.
Sibal said such a move only made it more difficult to get to the solution to difficult bilateral problems.

Map of your own country, what is the connection with the news? News is not a propaganda program.
News whether you will notify the important development people that day.
Some bias is innate , But what is the connection with the map? So it’s clear it is one of the tactics that you want to provoke, “Varma said.
“If Doordarshan starts to show a map, what is the purpose?” Varma said there were many people that made sense in Pakistani media who knew the reality of such movements.
He suggested that such steps only help distract domestic viewers from internal problems.
To repeat things again and again is propaganda and the “illogical” step is only borne from the urge, he said.

In March, Pemra has requested news and satellite channels of current affairs to refrain from showing “unfounded statements, judgmental and unipolar” about the country’s national accountability bureau, “with the alleged intention to slander state institutions”, without getting a viewpoint Bureau.
