LHC Seeks AGP’s Assistance in 2015 Petition to Ban Altaf Hussain’s Media Coverage

The Lahore High Court (LHC) has summoned the Attorney General for Pakistan (AGP) to assist in a 2015 petition seeking a ban on media coverage of exiled MQM founder Altaf Hussain. The plea argues that Hussain’s statements are against national interests. The court emphasized the need for the AGP’s input before proceeding. Altaf Hussain, living in the UK, has been a controversial figure, with previous bans on his speeches due to alleged anti-state rhetoric. The case remains under review.
