The spokesman said that said strict action would be taken for not following the directions.

Earlier, the federal information minister Pervaiz Rasheed wrote a letter to the Chairman PEMRA, seeking action against news channels for airing hateful remarks by Altaf Hussain.

Talking to newsmen in Lahore, Shahbaz Sharif urged Altaf Hussain to apologize from the whole nation unconditionally.
