ISLAMABAD, August 19: Federal Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb has said that PTI chairman Imran Khan should stop telling lies and levelling allegations. Addressing a press conference on Friday, she said that Imran Khan was in habit of making fun of everything.
“He should reveal, if he has some courage, which agencies provided information to him. Imran Khan says agencies used to provide him information about the PML-N and the PPP. He does not reply to any question put to him,” she maintained.
As regards the address of Imran Khan to a seminar on the press freedom, the minister said inviting a person, who had gagged the media during his four-year rule, was a “ridiculous step”.
She was surprised to see that some responsible journalists were listening to Imran Khan’s address attentively, she added. Marriyum recalled that when Imran Khan was the prime minister journalists were killed and their ribs were broken, state institutions were influenced to put Mir Shakeel ur Rehman behind jail, and the media faced the worst fascism.
The oppression of Imran Khan against the media was also highlighted by the Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists, the Council of Pakistan Newspaper Editors, the Pakistan Broadcasters Association and the International Watchdog, she added. – NNI
