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.

Dr. Shahid and Hamid Mir were not neutral, rather they are the agents of Indian Intelligence Services!!!! I think you are missing the point. You can get the best Pakistan has to offer and your 100 % neutral news on PTV. Just because I find your comments misguided, does not mean that you should be banned from this forum. In the end I would like to ask you Is Musharraf the best Pakistan has to offer????
so General did get his way in the end
Meray Mutabiq and Capital Talk disappeared from Geo…so General did get his way in the end…no?
zakoota
What your opinion is about Musharraf . I would say only two kind of people can do what Musharraf has been doing. One who is in line with what you have said. Other who is truly sincere with Pakistan. I believe he is sincere and wants to establish strong foundation for Pakistan does not care if breaking some rules here and there. Many leaders in Past has broken rules but never left any good legacy behind. I believe he will leave strong foundation behind,Although all haters are making it tough for him to finish it on time.
I pray I am right in trusting him.
