In October 2011, Jilani appeared as a guest on Rehmatul Lil Alameen, a programme on United Kingdom television station Doctor of Medicine Digital. During the broadcast, Jilani made comments with reference to the shooting dead in early 2011 of the Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer. Following a complaint, Ofcom subsequently ruled that by broadcasting the comments, Doctor of Medicine Digital had breached Rule 3.1 of the Broadcasting Code, which states “Material likely to encourage or incite the commission of crime or to lead to disorder must not be included in television or radio services”.
We considered that the broadcast of the various statements made by the Islamic scholar outlined above was likely to encourage or incite the commission of crime.".
