ISPR hosts delegation of AJK journalists

Military's media wing informs the delegation about the current environment and security situation along the LoC

RAWALPINDI:

A delegation of journalists from Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) visited the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) head office in Rawalpindi on Saturday.

During their visit, the delegation also interacted with its Director-General Major General Babar Iftikhar and were appraised about the current environment and security situation along the Line of Control (LoC).

"Journalists were briefed about the current environment and security situation along the line of control (LOC), situation in IOJ&K and deliberate ceasefire violation (CFVs) by Indian troops targeting the civil population," said the military's media wing in a press release.

ISPR added that the delegation appreciated the opportunity for interaction especially in the context of one-year completion of India’s August 5 illegal actions of annexing IOK's special status.

In 2018, a 25-member group of journalists from AJK visited ISPR and were apprised by the then director-general (DG) ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor.

Acknowledging their contribution, the former DG ISPR said that the “media has the power to shape or mould opinions in society.

“We appreciate the work done by AJK, G-B and Hazara journalists to build the good, prosperous and soft image of Pakistan within meagre resources,” Maj Gen Ghafoor added.
