Apropos a comment entitled "PID not allowed to file story on behalf of Shahbaz" carried by the Business Recorder in its edition of 20th June 2017, the Government spokesperson has categorically termed the item as concocted and figment of imagination. He said the story was devoid of an iota of truth and reality. The spokesperson clarified that Press Information Department (PID) was responsible for the publicity of the Prime Minister, Members of the Federal Cabinet and Ministries/Divisions/Departments of the Federal Government, while the publicity of the Chief Minister of Punjab and the provincial functionaries was the obligation of the DGPR Punjab.
Moreover, the story has portrayed a wrong and dramatic picture of differences between the Federal and Provincial Chief Executives which is highly unfortunate and against the internationally recognised ethical norms of journalism, the spokesperson concluded.
