Local twitterati were abuzz Monday night in support of veteran journalist Ansar Abbasi under the hashtag #SupportAnsarAbbasi

According to the Twitter rumour-mill, a column of Abbasi's that did not make the publishing cut was published by news portal Saach.tv wherein he spoke about the clout of cable operators in Pakistan in influencing news channels, certain anchorpersons and journalists into not discussing  the illegal airing of Indian channels in Pakistan

Lambasting vulgar and obscene content on television, Abbasi's column also talked about cable operators pressurising the aforementioned parties into not covering/reporting on the Supreme Court case proceedings regarding a petition filed by ex-Amir of the Jamaat-e-Islami, Qazi Hussain Ahmad, and Justice (retd) Wajihuddin Ahmed of the Supreme Court.
