PFJA asks govt to prove charges against newsmen

Lahore - A team of journalists would go on hunger strike soon if the
government did not withdraw or prove the charges it levelled against the
journalists.
The decision to this effect was taken at the meeting of the Pakistan
Freelance Journalists Association (PFJA) held on Monday, with its President
Iqbal Yousafi in the chair.
It said the government has not come up with proofs substantaiting the
charges it levelled against newsmen and further demanded of it to either
prove the charges or apologise to both the print and the electronic media
within 48 hours after which a team of journalists would go on hunger
strike.
The speakers at the meeting condemned the government for levelling
baseless allegations against the journalist community to curb the Press
freedom which is hardly awarded.
