This decision of banning comes after monitoring the TV anchor for several weeks. Aamir Liaquat has repeatedly been violating Clause 3 (1) (h) (k) (l), Clause 4 (7) (c), Clause 13 (1), (2), Clause 22 (1) (3), Clause 23 of the Electronic Media Code of Conduct 2015, Section 20 of the PEMRA Ordinance 2002 and Rule 15 of Pemra Rules 2009.
The notification also forbade Aamir Liaquat from declaring anyone kaafir or ghaddar as under the constitution of Pakistan, the right to do that exists only with the Superior Judiciary or the Parliament.
And this is what twitter has to say about it,
Dr Amir Liaqat banned by #PEMRA till further notice. #BOL Tv also instructed not to bring him in any way even in channel promos etc
