Geo TV goes off air in some areas

In a brazen attack, Hamid Mir was shot four times a couple of days days

Islamabad: A Pakistani TV station embroiled in a row with the military over the shooting of one of its presenters has been taken off-air in some parts of the country, cable operators said on Thursday.

The defence ministry on Tuesday urged the national media regulator to cancel Geo TV’s broadcasting licence after it aired allegations that the powerful Inter-Services Intelligence agency was behind an attempt to kill top anchor Hamid Mir. Meanwhile, a scribe hurled a shoe at the Punjab CM to protest the attack.
