ISLAMABAD: The Central Information Secretary Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Dr Shireen Mazari on Tuesday drew attention of the media to the Executive Summary of the Media Commission Report – the Commission having been formed by the Supreme Court of Pakistan – and pointed out the Geo-Doordarshan connection of Amn ki Asha programme mentioned on page 8 of the Summary.
Dr Shireen Mazari said the government had tried to have this section deleted but could still be found on the site link http://j.mp/1kkyvvM.
The Central Information Secretary Pakistan PTI said this raised serious issues of foreign agendas being pursued by the Geo/Jang group which the government should take notice of and investigate rather than trying to cover up the whole issue.
This is just one of the many sources of questionable foreign funding coming to the Geo/Jang media house.
Mazari also showed the chart of Media Usage graph published by EU Report showing the excessive time given to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) by Geo and Pakistan Television News (PTV).
