ISLAMABAD, May 01 (APP):Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain said on Saturday that in Pakistan one can accuse the person of the Prime Minister for making headlines but later can easily take a u- turn.
وزیر اعظم کی ذات پر الزام لگائیں، ہیڈلائنز بنائیں اور بعد میں آرام سے یو ٹرن لے لیں، ٹی وی چینل سے کہو تو میڈیا کی آزادی میں خطرہ اور اگر مہمان سے پوچھو تو سیاسی انتقام کا نعرہ۔۔۔ یہ سلسلہ بند ہونا ہو گا pic.twitter.com/TE1MOZ7Fmj

In a tweet tagging the video clip of the interview of former Director General Federal Investigation Agency ( FIA) Bashir Menon in which he has admitted that his meeting with the prime minister was very brief and he did not mention any name, Fawad said if the issue is raised with the concerned news channel, media freedom is under threat and if the guest is asked to explain, the slogan of political victimization is raised.
The minister said that this tendency should stop now.
