ISLAMABAD: Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq Thursday filed a petition with the Islamabad High Court (IHC) against July 31 decision of Pemra Council of Complaints (CoC) that dismissed his contentions against a private TV channel and its anchor.

The petitioner filed an application against TV channel and its anchor for leveling false allegations against him of kidnapping the father of a Nadra official to pressurise him to refrain from documenting evidence of alleged rigging in NA-122.

The petition has been filed under Section 30-A of Pemra Ordinance 2002 and against order dated July 31, 2017 by the Pemra's Council of Complaints.
