LAHORE: The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has fined private TV channel New News Rs 200,000 for broadcasting an allegedly defamatory remark by cricketer Abdul Razzaq about female cricketer Nada Dar. According to the website 'Pro Pakistani', Abdul Razzaq and Nada Dar had participated in the program 'G Sarkar' of the private TV channel in which while talking to the host Noman Ijaz, Abdul Razzaq had said that the players of the Pakistani women's cricket team are girls. And men look more. "Some female athletes who try to be equal to or better than male athletes give up the idea of marriage," he said.
Abdul Razzaq pointed to Nada Dar who was sitting next to him with this sentence and said, "If you shake her hand, you will not even feel that she is a girl." Abdul Razzaq later apologized for this. It was also said that he had said these things jokingly but apologized to those who were offended by it.
