Pakistan has decided to put off-air the transmissions of all TV channels in the country, media reports are claiming.
After Faizabad operation backfired, Shahid Khaqaan Abbasi, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, has asked PEMRA to put off-air all TV channels in Pakistan except state owned Pakistan Television.

We are getting confirmations that all TV channels are now off-air across the country as the cable operators have been directed to pull the plug for private TV channels in the country.
PEMRA had just banned the live coverage of Faizabad operation, but this is now confirmed that TV channels have been put off-air as well.
Not to mention, live streams of TV channels on internet are still working and accessible in Pakistan.
This is a one of its kind move by the government of Pakistan as across-the-board ban on TV channels has never been put in place in history of Pakistan.
Update
Federal Government has withdrawn its earlier notification that pulled the plug for all private news channels.
News channels in the country are now back on-air after some 28 hours of down-time.
so called democracy
Western style democracy is like a snake. Kitna be doodh pila doo phir be wafadar nai hogi!
Then you should let these channels show anything in the name of freedom of speech as well. Democracy advocates that too. Don’t bring your religious or ideological reasons in between.

Just install Orbot app on your Android phone and use its VPN mode to route all your traffic through the Tor network without data limits. And install Firechat (for networkless communication) before even the internet is blocked.
