Sindh Minister for Information Sharjeel Inam Memon on Friday said that freedom of expression and an independent press are the pillars of democracy, and the PPP has always championed these values.

In his message on World Press Freedom Day, Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Memon stated that Sindh was the first province in Pakistan to formally pass legislation for the protection of journalists. He also highlighted the establishment of the Sindh Information Commission and Journalist Welfare Fund.

Paying tribute to journalists who laid down their lives in the line of duty for truth and justice, Memon reaffirmed the Sindh govt's commitment-under the leadership of Bilawal Bhutto and President Asif Ali Zardari-to defending press freedom and journalists' rights.
