Earlier this week, Foreign Minister and Senior Vice-Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Shah Mahmood Qureshi had said that the PTI government doesn’t believe in restrictions on the media. However, he said that the government wants the media to play its role with responsibility.
Addressing a presser, the foreign minister had said the changes to the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (Peca) were not intended to silent the media. He was of the view that any curbs were not workable in the present day.
Qureshi said that the real objective was that the media should continue performing with full freedom with responsibility.
The foreign minister while offering an olive branch to media houses, said that the political parties and media were inseparable. The PTI government is ready to sit with the media representatives to discuss the issue and find a solution.
Qureshi said that there is no harm in discussing the issue, adding that PTI is not unaware of media’s role that is being seen the world over.
