| [Dawn] Pakistan Muslim League--Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif on Saturday expressed support for the media in the on-going protests. Sharif vowed to protest against media restrictions and said he would support them in their struggle for freedom. The PML-N chief said in a statement that the freedom of media is equally important to him as freedom of judiciary. Sharif added that his party can withstand constructive criticism and will work towards ensuring the freedom of media in Pakistan. He suggested that people like Sanaullah Mastikhel should be expelled from the party. Nawaz Sharif has alleged PML-Q of being part of the conspiracy against the media. Meanwhile, journalists registered their protests at a ceremony attended by Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif in Rahimyar Khan. Addressing the ceremony, Shahbaz Sharif said that he would try to resolve the matter through mutual understanding. |
