Geo ordered to shut down (Posted at 2325) (Updated at 0055)
KARACHI: There are reports that the government of Pakistan is using its influence with a foreign country to get the Geo TV network closed down, as the Geo TV network refused to surrender to the will of the government.

Geo News has been ordered to shut down by authorities of the country from where it is being aired.

It should be noted that Geo news and its entire sister channels had been closed down across Pakistan after the imposition of emergency.

Earlier, the cable operators in Pakistan were forced to close all channels being operated by Geo Network and the Pakistani viewers were deprived of the great source of information. However, the Geo TV was on air from its Dubai office.

The latest developments are that the government of Pakistan has gone to the limit of seeking the closure of Geo News network across the globe through a country.

After this closure of Geo Network, the worldwide viewers would not be able to watch the great source of information worldwide.

According to Geo TV network, it did not surrender to the will of the government and did not sign any paper of compliance with the government, for which it has been punished that its worldwide telecast is being gagged. 

On this occasion, Senior Geo News analyst Kamran Khan, Host of Capital Talk Hamid Mir, Dr Amir Liaquat Hussein, Geo News Senior analyst Nasir Beig Chughtai, Justice (rtd) Saeeduz Zaman Siddiqui, Senior defence analyst (Rtd) Talat Masud and British member of Parliament Mohammed Sarwar expressed their grief over this government step regarding closing down the Geo News network and condemned this fresh government attack on the media.

It should be noted that nearly all the news channels of the country were taken off air, as soon as the emergency was announced in the country. PEMRA hammered out code of conduct for the media to follow and it was said only those channels would be allowed to operate if they fall in line with the government wishes.
  
Dr Amir expresses grief over Geo News closure  (Posted at 2430)
KARACHI: Dr Amir Liaquat Hussein said he could not even think of the fresh move by the government.

Talking to Geo News, he appreciated the Geo TV network that it did not submit to the will of the government and did not play in the hands of rulers.

Dr Amir said, "˜We kept on telling the truth and mirroring the rulers their face; we had no knowledge that the rulers would take it so badly that they will rise to close the telecast of Geo News.'

Dr Amir said that the people, who talked about the tolerance and fortitude, lost their own temper.

GEO is not shut down, i think some one has shut me down. this tape is not on the month of GEO, this tape is on my mouth. if GEO is enemy of Pakistan then every sensible and sensitive citizen is enemy of Pakistan. Dr Shahid, Hamid Mir, Kamran Khan, Iftikhar Ahmad, Ansar Abbasi and others, you all are our voice and we will miss you and inshah Allah we will get you back.
Keep it Up

why they were portraying the bhagora mafi sharif and mrs. 10% as heroes and queen. why they were doing this ? i guess they were getting paid for this.

why imran khan was so important just by having 1 seat in NA and others with huge mandates were being ignored.

like in west if you want to be in media you have to pay big money and they make you a celebrity eventhough no body knows you.

media was being dishonest and negative, they were trying to tell people that crossing a red light is ok because majority of people do. remember if you cross the red light u have to pay the penalty or a disqualification from driving for life time but for GEO its ok, they were trying to make a norm or taboo for nation because GEO think its ok.(specially for the lawyers because restriction doesnot apply to them they can cross any security line and if beaten by police for crossing the security line they become "mazloom"(if they dont show any discipline how can rest of the nation can do and GEO supports them, what a joke)

geo was not bringing any discipline in nation instead they were going the opposite direction, if GEO wanted they can change the mind and mentality of people by giving them civic sense, how many of you cross the red traffic light, how many of you stop on zebra crossing, how many of you use un-necessary horns, how many of you dont throw the rubbish out of your cars, how many of you like to queue or see people queuing for anything.

if GEO would have started giving people civic sense rather than bringing stupid people in shahid masood show and capital talk and asking all those stupid questions of which they know the answers also, taking fun out of them and giving stupid message to public. only thing which was good on it was ramadan transmission and aalim online and programs like "choti see neki" by bushra amir, rest all was politics

why these channels gave so much importance to americans , that BUSH is saying this whtehose is saying this, rice is saying this. for god sake who care about these goras we people know what we have to do.

Now i think Musharraf must step down...not because he has closed GEO, but because he is good for nothing..By closing the Geo Ntwork, he has made several people lose their job...Is this the kind of change he wants to make in Pakistan....

Very Sad and Disappointing..

Few Days back, i read one article, that even now after so much destruction to Pakistan, if Musharraf accepts the decision of Supreme Court and leaves the power, if asked to do so by SC, he will give Pakistan two things, for which Pakistani will be thankful to him for rest of their lives and those were Free Media and Free Judiciary.

In the same article i read, that these two are those things for which every country of third world is striving and none of them have succeed to achieve them yet.

But unfortunately in the desire of remain in power, he ruined both institutes and have put Pakistan 60 years back.

I have very firm believes that only those nation can prosper which have independent judiciary and free media.

Oh Musharraf, you did many things wrong but what have you done today is worse among them.

Now you have only one place left for you and that is hell.
