KARACHI: Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) Council of Complaints on Tuesday recommended to cancel Geo Television’s license over airing of blasphemous content in the television’s morning show.

The recommendation was made by complaints council Karachi following the complaints and reports of blasphemous content on Geo’s morning show.

PEMRA had earlier slammed Geo TV with a show-cause notice for allegedly airing blasphemous content, seeking immediate explanation.

The show-cause notice was issued by PEMRA over the objectionable content broadcasted in Geo Entertainment’s morning show ‘Utho Jago Pakistan’.

According to a PEMRA spokesperson, over 10,000 complaints were received against the show. The complaints were sent to the Complaint Council for review, seeking apt recommendations.

The next PEMRA session will be on 25th May.
