Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Political Communication Dr Shahbaz Gill while strongly condemning derogatory language of PML-N leadership against senior journalists on Wednesday said that Maryam Safdar has been continuously attacking freedom of press.
Addressing a press conference here, he said they (PML-N leadership) not only used extremely derogatory language for senior journalists but also stopped government’s advertisement of various TV channels.
Over 24 hours have been passed of Maryam’s audio leak but neither the TV channels served any defamation notice on her nor issued any clarification in this regard, he said.
He said similar language was also used for media persons by PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto and PML-N lawmaker Rana Sanaullah. Either, the journalists’ bodies have to clarify whether these organizations have been occupied by such mafia, he questioned.—INP
