On Monday, senior Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir was stopped from hosting his talk show Capital Talk by the Geo News channel after he criticised the military establishment. He has been sent on forced leave and another anchorperson will host the five-day-a-week show for now. Mir came under the scanner after he delivered a fiery speech at a protest on May 28 in the wake of the attack on fellow journalist Asad Toor. Three assailants who identified themselves as ISI agents barged into Toor s Islamabad apartment on May 25 and assaulted him.
