@azharjavaiduk In a system where major cases stem from a military‑directed process with disputed legitimacy, scrutiny isn’t interference. ICC rules & the Ofcom Code don’t ban political questions. Sky & Atherton questioning Imran is lawful journalism.
@m_asifmahmood In international sports broadcasting, editorial discretion is a protected right. ICC rules and the Ofcom Code don’t ban political questions during matches. Sky & Atherton asking Imran about issues already in global headlines isn’t a violation, it’s legitimate journalism.
@asbabar786 You can disagree with Sky News or Atherton, but calling them “genocidal supporters” is just noise. Their reporting on Pakistan, Imran Khan, and rights issues comes from documented cases and global watchdogs. Critique the facts, not imaginary motives.
@CtrlAltSecured Don’t flatter the conspiracy either. Atherton was one of the 21 ex-captains who already publicly called for humane treatment. The sons spoke about a 73-year-old in solitary. PCB’s meltdown says more than your “paid” claim ever will.
@azharjavaiduk Pakistan’s hybrid regime lacks legitimacy after rigged 2024 polls & military rule. Sky’s interview with Imran’s sons was a valid humanitarian plea on his health & isolation. PCB (run by Interior Minister) complaining is actually the regime protecting itself, not cricket.
@niyazee26 Sky Sports exposing Imran’s jail hell isn’t paid propaganda. It’s a free press showing a regime that jails its biggest leader, bans rivals, rigs polls & merges PCB with Interior Ministry. Power without legitimacy fears the truth.
@azharjavaiduk@ECB_cricket@TheRealPCB@AthersCricket Sky & Atherton did not breach the Broadcasting Code.
This was an interval feature about the health of a cricket legend during a Test match — not a current-affairs debate. “Due” impartiality is contextual and lower in sports coverage.
@imshee67 کتنے ثبوت چاہیں؟لنچ بریک میں انٹرویو ہوا، میچ نہیں روکا گیا۔
Sky Sports انگلینڈ کا براڈکاسٹر ہے، کرکٹ لیجنڈ عمران خان کی صحت پر بات کرنا ان کا کام ہے۔
کوئی ملین ڈالر ایئر ٹائم خریدنے والا نہیں ملا، کوئی صیہونی لابی کروڑوں خرچ کرنے کا ثبوت نہیں۔
بس پرانا سازشی نسخہ: “یہودی لابی”
@ayeshaijazkhan Sky aired Imran Khan’s sons’ interview at lunch despite PCB threats & complaints. That’s independence.
They’ve also extensively covered Gaza’s civilian toll, airstrikes & humanitarian crisis.
Same standard applied both ways
@azharjavaiduk Atherton & 20 other ex-captains made a humanitarian appeal for Imran’s proper medical care in custody, not political lobbying.
That’s basic decency to a fellow great of the game, not “above the law.”
Family health concerns deserve airtime. Sky aired them. Record stands.
@IamHaiderSN Your take is pure hypocrisy. Atherton called out political interference in cricket — correctly. Covering Imran Khan (a genuine legend of the game) isn’t “licking spit,” it’s journalism.
You rant about agendas while inventing one. Grow up.
@Athersmike
@IamHaiderSN@_Vitastian_ Why have you lost temper? It was a straight forward observation. Girls do wear these masks now as an alternative to burqa or chadder to cover their faces.
