ISLAMABAD/ KARACHI: Various media organisations Friday rejected the Punjab Privileges (Amendment) Bill, 2021, passed by the Punjab Assembly, terming it an attempt to suppress the press freedom in the province.
The All Pakistan Newspapers Society (APNS), Pakistan Broadcasters Association (PBA) and the Pakistan Federal Union of Journalist (PFUJ) issued separate statements and strongly condemned the provincial government move to punish the media persons on one pretext or the other.
APNS President Sarmad Ali and Secretary General Nazafreen Saigol Lakhani, in a statement said that the bill provided a judicial committee of the house with dictatorial powers to order arrest without warrant of a journalist and award sentence of six months with fine of Rs10,000 without adopting the legal procedure if the committee is of the opinion that any privilege of a member is violated.
