Government bent upon lashing journalists, says adviser

Adviser to Sindh Chief Minister on Information & Archives, Law, and Anti-Corruption Barrister Murtaza Wahab while censuring the flagellation of journalists during the visit Federal Minister for Railways Shaikh Rashid Ahmed in Hyderabad on Saturday said the federal government first of all created such circumstances that most of the media person have to quit their jobs and now it is bent on lashing them for exposing its incompetence.
Barrister Murtaza Wahab said the federal government is not even aware with the basic moral of democracy. The Adviser said Shaikh Rashid has completely turned himself into the folds of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf. He said PTI should keep a strict check on its extremist and polluted mouthed minister like Shaikh Rashid. The Adviser said "no law in the world allows ferocity on peaceful protests." The Federal Government should be mindful before thrashing the fourth pillar of the country, he added.
