TNFJ has expressed serious concerns on continued coverage of banned organizations on media

ISLAMABAD, February 11: Tehreek e Nafaz e Fiqah Jafariya has expressed serious concerns on continued coverage of banned organizations on media and demanded from the  PEMRA the regulatory authority of Electronic media PEMRA to stop coverage to the leaders and representatives of the banned outfits while in order to act on the National Action Plan, the role of PEMRA must be made more effective. Anchors of several channels are unaware of the facts and present banned elements as the messengers of peace which is disturbing for the whole nation. The future of Pakistan’s next generations depends upon the success of Zarb e Azab and National Action Plan and any compromise on it will threaten the future of Pakistan and our nation. This was said by the Additional Secretary General of TNFJ Col (R ) Syed Sakhawat Hussain Kazmi in his meeting with the chairman of PEMRA Absaar Aalam. Col (R ) Sakhawat Kazmi said that Pakistan is faced with the challenge of terrorism for the last three decades. After the tragic incident of APS Peshawar, the formulation of the National Action Plan is a milestone in the war against terrorism. He said that the representative organization of Maktab e Tashayyo Tehreek  Nafaz e Fiqah Jafariya can take pride in the fact that each and every postulate of the National Action Plan is right accordance with the point of view of TNFJ which has been presented by Quaid e Millat e Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi for the last thirty years which was also presented as the suggestions of Agha Moosavi in the Supreme Court before the then Chef Justice Sajjad Ali Shah. Col (R ) Sakhawat Kazmi mentioned to the Chairman PEMRA that several banned organizations are still taking media coverage after changing their names while their representatives are seen on different forums of the media therefore lists of the leaders of the banned organizations must be provided to the media channels and their proscription must be ensured as banning only the names of the organizations is meaningless which were banned because of those elements. If the same leaders start operating using new names then the proscription and ban becomes ineffective and National Action Plan fails. He informed the chairman with the fact that several anchors do not know the names of the banned organizations therefore by enforcing the PEMRA’s code of ethics the disturbance of the whole nation must be ended. He prayed for the eradication of the menace of terrorism, Pakistan’s solidarity and development and complete peace in the country. Chairman PEMRA assured to the delegation of TNFJ that PEMRA will play its role for the success of National Action Plan and through the support from NACTA it will stop media coverage to the banned organization. He also appealed to the people of Pakistan to support national institutions in their efforts to eradicate terrorism. Allama Zahid Abbas Kazmi, Haji Mukhtar Shah and TNFJ’s media coordinator Abbas Kazmi was also present in TNFJ’s delegation.
