There was a time when it was obligatory on the two channels that existed in Pakistan to telecast Azan on daily basis, even if it meant interrupting their programs in between. But now, there are many private channels in Pakistan but none of them telecasts Azan.

To address the issue, a resolution is going to be tabled in the next session of the Pakistan National Assembly which is expected to make it mandatory on all private channels to telecast Azan every day. It remains to be seen if this resolution gets approved by the members of the assembly or not.
