SUKKUR: Chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has expressed serious concerns regarding the shrinking space for independent journalism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
According to a press release from the Media Cell at Bilawal House Monday, he pointed to an alarming increase in violent incidents targeting journalists in the province, describing the situation as intolerable.
He accused the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister and the ruling provincial party of being responsible for these brutalities. He condemned the use of violence to suppress journalism, attributing these actions to fascist elements.
“The PTI is fearful of independent journalism and has lost the trust of the people,” he remarked. “Their consistent reliance on undemocratic tactics and conspiracies to cling to power is disgraceful.”
Reaffirming the PPP’s steadfast support for the journalist community, Chairman Bhutto Zardari asserted, “We believe in press freedom and will not allow anyone to stifle the press.” He called upon relevant institutions and parliament to take decisive action to protect journalists and uphold press freedom in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
