Pakistan's media regulator banned media broadcasts of former Prime Minister Imran Khan's speeches as police arrived at one of his homes to deliver another court summons for the ousted premier, officials said on March 6. The development is the latest in a political tug-of-war between the former cricket star turned Islamist politician and the government of his successor, Shahbaz Sharif, as Khan campaigns for early elections. The ban by the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority was imposed on March 5 and went into effect the next day. It covers the airing of both recorded and live speeches by Khan.
