Criticism against the Government of Pakistan[edit]

Since April, the Geo TV channel has been embroiled in a defamation row with the powerful ISI intelligence agency.The ISI says the channel has unfairly linked the agency to an attack on a Geo talk show host in Karachi. But officials from Geo, Pakistan's most watched news channel, have described the licence suspension as unfair. Supporters of the channel say the suspension is a dark day for media freedom in Pakistan.Correspondents note that the allegations against the intelligence agency are unusual because few dare upset the ISI - long regarded as one of the most powerful institutions in the country.
