ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) information secretary Marriyum Aurangzeb has claimed that the latest report of the Reporters Without Borders is a charge-sheet against the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government.
In a statement on Monday, she said Imran Khan’s alleged “authoritarian attitude” and character was defiling Pakistan’s image abroad.
Ms Aurangzeb said the global community had unequivocally condemned the government’s suppression of the freedom of expression.
“The report says that the PTI government is worse than military dictatorships in Pakistan when it comes to press freedom. The Human Rights Watch, Pakistan Press Freedom Report and Freedom Network Report had already declared the Imran government as the worst media gagging administration in the history of the country,” she said.

New Delhi, India– This is an ongoing drama worthy of a Bollywood movie.
In February of this year, Twitter deleted hundreds of accounts. These accounts were posted in ongoing farmers’ protests against the three agricultural laws passed in India last year, but some of them were restored after massive public opposition.
Twitter stated that these accounts have been closed to comply with the order of the Indian government. But this is only the beginning of tensions between the US social media giants and the Indian government this year.
