PFUJ to start drive against media crisis from April
National
LAHORE: Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) will start campaign against crisis in media from April.
Unions of journalists, from all over the country, will go to Islamabad and sit before the Parliament until their demands are met. Freedom of media is linked to the supremacy of Parliament and the Constitution. The forces that are for the protection of the state should be doing just that.
PFUJ General Secretary Nasir Zaidi said this while addressing a gathering at a lunch, hosted by PML-N at its secretariat in honour of the PFUJ delegates from all over the country, who were in the city for a seminar on freedom of media, the first in a series.

LAHORE: The Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) has given the government three months to take effective steps for resolving the journalists and media issues and deal with the worst ever suppression of the right to free press and expression that has severely compromised the independence of media in the country.
Governmentâs failure to engage with associations of journalists in the given time to develop a framework that can provide physical, economic and mental security to media persons will lead to nationwide protests, strikes and lockdowns, it said, adding that an immediate and formal dialogue to finalise legislation for the protection of journalists is a prerequisite.
