It was banned along with two other popular TV channels on November 3 last year when <a href="http://pakistaniat.com/2007/11/03/pakistan-tv-station-off-air-amid-reports-of-emergency/" target="_blank">Emergency</a> was imposed in the country.</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t know on what conditions the channel has been allowed to operate again. We also don&#8217;t know how much dent the 77-day ban must have made in the profitability of the news company &#8212; it must be pretty huge &#8212; or to the livelihood of the journalists working for it.</p>
<p><a href="http://pakistaniat.com/2007/11/16/media-gagged-in-pakistan-geo-tv-audio-here/" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" src="/images/GEOBack/geo6.jpg" align="left" width="290" /></a>But we do know that the <a href="http://pakistaniat.com/2007/11/16/media-gagged-in-pakistan-geo-tv-audio-here/" target="_blank">ban made a huge dent in the government&#8217;s credibility</a> and the image of &#8220;enlightened moderation&#8221; that it was so eager to project. It also left in its wake numerous angry messages and slogans on the wallboards outside the Geo office in Islamabad. They do give you a flavor of the general feelings prevailing at the time in a large segment of the civil society. <span id="more-1067"></span></p>

		<p>The aroma of this terpene fuse &#8211;  <a href="https://terpenewarehouse.com/products/melonade-terpenes" rel="nofollow ugc">melonade strain indica or sativa</a>   is at bottom sanitary and natural, not too strong but hush clear in the best way. It blends smoothly and adds a much better flavor chart without compelling the entirety else. Flush a small amount makes a contradistinction, which says a lot with reference to the quality. The packaging was solid, shipping was faithful, and the sound happening felt reliable. Actually decent outcome and one I’d cheerfully uncalled-for again.</p>

<p>Dear Readers,
<p>While <i>All Things Pakistan</i> has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since <a href="/2011/06/11/atp/">June 11, 2011</a> - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was <a href="/2011/06/11/atp/">time to move on</a>. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on <a href="/about/">ATP</a>. <br />

<p>While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful. 

<p>We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your <a href="/pakistan-by-faiz/">Pakistaniat</a>. - <i>Editors</i><bold></strong>

<br />
