PTV Sports shut down their broadcast for a few seconds when a fan showed a poster of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in the stadium during the match between Pakistan and New Zealand.
Anyone knows why PTV suddenly stopped suddenly streaming of the cricket match when they realised Imran Khan’s poster was being shown? pic.twitter.com/jvGIrxisNl

Pakistani media regulators have banned speeches and press conferences of Imran Khan, accusing him of attacking national institutes.
Here are the reactions of social media users:
Game toh on hai.
But can PTV not bear a single poster of Imran Khan at a cricket match? This is 2024. These are the tactics that are rallying the entire nation behind Imran Khan.
Show your strength with your vote.
Vote for Imran Khan.
