ISLAMABAD—ARY News on Tuesday issued a statement regarding the countrywide suspension of the channel's transmission, emphasizing that "Shahbaz Gill's statement was his personal opinion, not ARY's editorial policy."

"Shahbaz Gill's statement was his personal opinion and had nothing to do this the channel's policy," it stated, adding that "the channel's ideology is only 'Pakistan'."

"Shahbaz Gill joined to present PTI's opinion on the subject, however, no PML-N representative joined due to their boycott of the network."

The statement urged that comments or opinions of any individual televised by the network do not represent the channel's policy.

"ARY network has always defended the sanctity and pride of our institutions. Propaganda done by enemy countries has always been countered by the network."

The statement further maintained that the federal government was trying to victimize ARY Network.
