Governor Punjab slammed the passage of resolution against media in the Assembly today. Talking to Dunya News, Salman said that free media is vital for the sustenance of democracy in the country. Earlier, in an unprecedented move, Punjab Assembly unanimously ratified a resolution, floored by PML-N member Sanaullah Masti Khel, against media on Friday (today).
The motion carried the allegations that media organizations played vulgar Indian songs behind women MPAs footage.
Interestingly, no assembly member opposed the said resolution. The assembly also denounced the programmes being aired on the MPAs.
On the other hand, the mediapersons, sitting in the gallery, immediately left Punjab Assembly and boycotted the proceedings. Later, the journalists hold a peaceful demonstration outside the Assembly. The mediamen raised slogans against gagging of media when CM Shahbaz came out of the House, who left the venue sans talking to them.
