PTV anchor who visited Israel along with delegation sacked: Marriyum
The Foreign Office has already made it clear that no delegation from the country visited Israel
Islamabad: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb Monday said an anchor of the Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) -- who was part of a delegation of Pakistani-Americans visiting Israel earlier this month -- had been terminated from service.
"The PTV anchor has been terminated and taken off air. He went on the tour in a personal capacity," she was quoted as saying by Pakistan Television in a tweet.
Aurangzeb was also quoted as saying that there was no change in Pakistan's policy with regards to Israel. "Pakistan's policy on Palestine is clear and based on the statements of our founder Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah," she said.

The minister went on to say that a policy which was in contradiction with the people's wishes and aspirations could not be implemented. The minister said that Pakistan was committed to its traditional and principled position on the Palestinian issue and Israel.
She said the Foreign Office (FO) had already made it clear that no delegation from the country visited Israel, adding that Pakistan supported the Palestinians' right to a referendum in accordance with the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.
