Punjab lawmakers demand strict action against Geo

The opposition leader Mian Mehmood-ur Rashid presented a resolution in the house which the lawmakers passed, condemning controversial content in Geo morning show `Utho Jago Pakistan’.

An episode of the famous Geo Entertainment morning show ‘Utho Jago Pakistan’ aired on Wednesday contained blasphemous content that later prompted widespread condemnation and criticism.
