Islamabad, Nov 19 : Deposed Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry has said that the closing down of Geo News and ARY TV channels is unconstitutional as it violates Article 19 of the Constitution, which, according to him, is still in place.
The News quoted Justice Iftikhar as saying that the Constitution not only protected the freedom of the press, but also guarded the right of the people to know.
He lamented that both the Dubai-based Pakistani international television channels had been shut down, thus depriving the people both within Pakistan and outside to know all that was happening in the country and outside.
