In January 2020, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) banned the broadcast of Abbasi's programme 'Off the Record' on ARY News for 60 days, following Faisal Vawda's appearance on his show alongside Qamar Zaman Kaira and Senator Muhammad Javed Abbasi.[10] Along with Vawda, Kashif Abbasi was also criticized.
