ISLAMABAD: The opposition members in the National Assembly came down hard on the government for imposing a media blackout over the issue of Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) protests.
Former prime minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, speaking on a point of order, said there had been a media blackout and rumours rife in the entire country, as nobody knew what was happening all around. “You are the most fascist government in history of the country despite your claims of giving freedom to the media,” he said.
Regretting absence of Prime Minister Imran Khan from the house proceedings, the PPP leader said the government was avoiding its responsibilities and it did not know how to handle the sensitive issues.

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari on Sunday expressed regrets over the United Kingdom’s discriminatory attitude towards Pakistanis and its nationals of Pakistani origin. The minister in a tweet said: This is a discriminatory approach towards Pakistanis and Britishers of Pak origin by putting Pakistan in the list of Red Zone countries but leaving out states like India which has one of the fastest spirals of COVID-19 cases plus a new lethal variant also. This is absolutely shameful these people have paid 1750 pounds per person to undergo 10 days of compulsory quarantine in UK and are being treated in this inhumane manner simply because they happen to be of Pak origin, she said according to a press release.
