Managing Director Pakistan Television (PTV), Aamer Manzoor, had challenged the sacking of several PTV officials which reportedly led to his termination from the state television.
On 1 January, the Board of Directors (BOD) of the state broadcaster, during a meeting presided over by Chairman PTV Naeem Bukhari, had formally suspended Aamer Manzoor on the pretext of “exercising powers beyond prescribed limits.”
