PEMRA ban on TV appearances of Mr. Hamdullah is sheer violation of his inalienable freedom of opinion & expression. He's a misogynist who takes pride in threatening women for rape. But that's not why you're hounding him. You're against him coz he's Afghan national? Shame on you.

Why was everyone sleeping till now? PTI spoke several times about the issuance of NICs through illegal means, then for the last one year why did they not take any notice of their own claims? Timing of surfacing such info questions the intentions. #hafizhamdullah pic.twitter.com/9G2XMfGagG

A point to be noted from @MuftiKifayatJUI.
Thanking NADRA, he said that this made our work easy to make the people understand that we are fighting for the freedom of the institutions. #WeStandWithHafizHamdullah #HafizHamdullah— Muhammad Izaz (@DrMuhammadIzaz) October 26, 2019

#HafizHamdullah is from my native town #Chaman. He remained Health minister for tenure of five years and then senator for six years. His son is serving in #Pak Army as Second Lieutenant, so to clear alien him now? @a_siab @juipakofficial @MuftiKifayatJUI @OfficialDGISPR pic.twitter.com/LvWhkoFWiv

NADRA’s decision of stripping off Hafiz Hamdullah citizenship become public as Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) issued a notification to Pakistan’s TV channels.
The electronic media watchdog in the notification has regulated the broadcasters not to invite the JUI-F leader to talk-shows as he is not a Pakistani citizen from now on.
Maulana Hamdullah had been elected as an MPA from Balochistan in the 2002 General Elections on a Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal ticket and served as Provisional Health Minister from 2002 till 2005.
