The business channels, Business Plus and CNBC Pakistan, are both back on the air. It is a surreal experience to watch them though, because while they are fairly openly discussing the effects of "Nov. 3rd" on business, they aren't being able to discuss the actual martial law itself. And of course there is no mention of the protests, the condemnations, the sheer idiocy of the act for business activity.
Another surreal moment occurred when one of the channels did a news roundup at the beginning of the hour, and mentioned a story out of Palestine in which a number of Palestinians had been arrested by the Israeli government. But the channel couldn't cover the close to 3000 people arrested by our own government!
