Mast Qalandar
Geo News is back on cable TV in Pakistan! It was banned along with two other popular TV channels on November 3 last year when Emergency was imposed in the country.
We don’t know on what conditions the channel has been allowed to operate again. We also don’t know how much dent the 77-day ban must have made in the profitability of the news company — it must be pretty huge — or to the livelihood of the journalists working for it.
But we do know that the ban made a huge dent in the government’s credibility and the image of “enlightened moderation” 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.

enormous interest ” Shadi-on-line ” by Mustansar
Hussain Tarar, the genious of collecting all the future
victims of the fatal error of saying ‘yes’ to that naive
prey-attracting segment, mind you, I find this
so hilarious that eveytime listening to the future
‘Shikar’ and his ambitions gave me huge laughters with stomach aces, once I even fell on the floor.
USA ‘mad’ spy Satelite is going to fall very soon, where and on….. ?
News :
Zardari addressed a majlis in which he declared that
he will be a shaheed, (I thought it was a monopoly of
Talibans ?) and that PPP is a Political party of ‘Shaheeds?
The new name for PPP is now FutureShuhada-e-Zarbhutts
Gunwah should sue them.
Geo has eaten the proverbial onions and lashes. It was off air for 70 some days and then comes back on without Hamid Mir and Shahid Masood. So what happened here?
