LHC bans live broadcast of Altaf Hussain's speeches

very imp news…while most of us denounce altaf hussain politics and sick of his pathetic speeches and part of me is happy to hear these news, i am also concerned if is it is fair? we have not see such a ban since zia ul haq days…what if other politicians face same predicament in future?

I am also afraid that this will make MQM more stronger. Will LHC show the same enthusiasm and ban the hate mongering mullahs from propagating hatred through loudspeakers?

plus why LHC? why not a ban from supreme court of pakistan ? ban from LHC will again send a wrong message to sindh.

appreciate comments. please keep it civilized.

Lahore High Court orders complete ban on Altaf Hussain in media - Daily Pakistan Global

Re: LHC bans live broadcast of Altaf Hussain's speeches

Yeah why don't you post a list of Mullahs arrested and banned for hate mongering speech from Lahore to Peshawar? Don't have to indulge in stock filling whataboutery every time.

Frankly speaking, people are getting sick of hearing this will make MQM stronger, that will make MQM stronger, falan will make MQM stronger etc as way of discouraging any concrete actions against them. MQM has been on it's death bed since 9-0 raid. Yes they will always the same old ghetto votes on the basis of ethnicity, but they are no longer the destructive, manipulating, evil and anti Pakistan that once used to be, and that's what it matters at the end of the day.

It is not unfair at all, we are in a state of war and last batch of Altaf Hussain speeches fell into top tier category of serious incitement of terrorist violence. MQM is lucky that party didn't get banned despite receiving funds from RAW and the whole army of target killers being found in their ranks.

MQM will not die. Next gov't (PPP) will shake hand with them... Two thief will make their bond again...

Karachi ka aman aarzi hia...

Re: LHC bans live broadcast of Altaf Hussain's speeches

PPP is done for good.. the only govt they can get is Sind and eventually it'll die too

Re: LHC bans live broadcast of Altaf Hussain's speeches

Why not SHC, because if it was SHC then you'd find every single person inside SHC during the ruling in boriz (body bags) the next day.

Re: LHC bans live broadcast of Altaf Hussain's speeches

It is LHC because the application was filed in LHC.

No one in Sindh was bothered enough to call Altaf Hussain out for anti Pakistan venom, even if they did, the advocate and his whole legal team would have got murdered. Just like MQM on the fifth anniversary of 92 operation killed 200 police officers who took part in the operation, in one single month.

When this fascist thug threatens DG Rangers of receiving a violent end, which madman from Sindh will file a reference against this monstrous traitor?

Re: LHC bans live broadcast of Altaf Hussain's speeches

Not to sound all takht-e-lahore, but how can lahore court have jurisdiction over sindh? TO me it makes nO sense.

Re: LHC bans live broadcast of Altaf Hussain's speeches

Can the LHC pass such an order suo motto ? Isnt that over-stepping their bounds and out of their jurisdiction.

Re: LHC bans live broadcast of Altaf Hussain's speeches

Same question as Med911, and Doppleganger. Does LHC have jurisdiction in another province?

Re: LHC bans live broadcast of Altaf Hussain's speeches

No idea but even if one provincial court ruling holds true in other provinces, in this particular case at least such ruling should have come from supreme court of pakistan instead of lahore high court. whoever filed that case in LHC did not do anything wise. He shd have filed it in supreme court unless there is a requirement to file in provincial courts first for such cases.

it will be challenged in supreme court anyway.

Re: LHC bans live broadcast of Altaf Hussain's speeches

The court order is not for sindh govt or federal, it is for channels being aired in Punjab...

Now PEMRA can choose to apply it on all country...

Although iam all for free speech. But binding channels to air speeches doesnt matter which politician it may be is cruel on us...

Yes they can tell us what a particular leader has said and what happened at the rally..but covering them like:

Altaf has picked up phone

NS have eaten his Nihari

IK have left for jalsa gah

The cat have laid eggs next to Zardari's stage

and then whole speech.. Hhhhhh

Re: LHC bans live broadcast of Altaf Hussain's speeches

Because its NOT internal matter of Sindh. AH has been abusing national institutes, not sindhi institute. Only if you believe you are a part of federation.

Re: LHC bans live broadcast of Altaf Hussain's speeches

Are all Altaf Hussain speeches only Sindh bound? Is it only Sindh that broadcast his speeches? No!

Re: LHC bans live broadcast of Altaf Hussain's speeches

Pakistan has what is known as unitary court system where courts have cross jurisdictions & rulings apply to the whole country.

Re: LHC bans live broadcast of Altaf Hussain's speeches

So the court bans Altaf Hussain's speeches from airing, and the targeted killing of media persons begin in Karachi.

Back to terrorising the media like the old times.
