When the ETV was getting shut down, a lot of people wrote rule of law has to respected. That is a fair comment if we assume the law was fairly applied to the parties. I am not going to go into that today. But look what is happening today after ETV got the license back.

“Some influential and interested persons are pressing the petitioner to sell shares of the ETV to them,” he submitted. “Abdus Salam, also the managing director of the ETV, understands that he could be arrested and harassed at any time if shares are not sold to those people,” he added.

Can we ask Mr. Shafiq Rehman to do a investigative piece on this now, like he did before?
