Broadcast of 'anti-Pakistan' foreign news channels to be shut: Cable operators

[Blackwater]

LAHORE: The All Pakistan Cable Operators Association declared Tuesday that they will shut down all foreign news channels airing "anti-Pakistan" content from tomorrow. The decision to shut the channels comes after a media uproar both locally and abroad following a Nato air strike that killed 24 Pakistani troops near the Afghan border.
During a media conference in Lahore, the operators named BBC News as one of the channels to be closed down, citing their documentary "Secret Pakistan" as one of the reasons for the decision.
The two part documentary series which aired in Pakistan explored accusations by CIA officials and western diplomats that Pakistan was failing to live up to its alliances in the war on terror.
President of the All Pakistan Cable Operators Association Khalid Arain also demanded that Pemra revoke the landing rights of any foreign news channel that was running "anti-Pakistan propaganda".
"We want to send them a strong message to stop this. If they
don't stop this, then it is our right to stop them," Arain said.
The cable operators declared that no foreign anti-Pakistan channel will "ever" be broadcast in the country.

Then they would not know what is happening around the world since they would have shut themselves out from the world'

Pakistan is such a place that it is always in the limelight for news, but of the wrong variety and all channels (except that of Pakistan maybe) would be broadcasting them!

Ban foreign channels...ban Indian channels... ban youtube... ban facebook...ban internet... ban ban ban...seems like pakistan is on it's way to become another China or North Korea where only state run channels shows what they want to show and suppress the TRUTH from the common man.

Pakistan needs to change itself instead of banning things or else it would be alienated and cut off from the world.
