ISLAMABAD:

PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has voiced his grave concern over diminishing space for independent journalism in K-P.

In a statement, he highlighted the alarming rise in violent incidents targeting journalists in the province, deeming it intolerable. He emphasised that many affected journalists are holding K-P chief minister and the ruling provincial party accountable for these brutalities.

He condemned the suppression of journalism through violence, attributing the acts to fascist elements. “The PTI is evidently fearful of independent journalism,” he said.

“Their consistent reliance on undemocratic tactics and conspiracies to cling to power is disgraceful.”
