LAHORE: Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday filed a contempt court plea against Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) over ban on his speeches in Lahore High Court (LHC).
As per details, the plea was filed against PEMRA by Barrister Ahmad Pansota on behalf of PTI chief Imran Khan and the Chairman PEMRA has been made respondent in the plea.
