Health Minister Shaukat Yousafzai then took over, but reporters boycotted his briefing for not taking action against doctors who had earlier assaulted journalists at the Khyber Teaching Hospital.
Protesting outside the Chief Minister House, journalists said they asked for an impartial judicial inquiry and instead the health minister constituted a probing team comprising only doctors, adding so far they have not received any positive response from those holding government offices.
“The PTI government made tall claims to provide freedom of press but today they were exposed in front of the whole nation,” said a journalist protesting at CM House.

Media is a Bully Master in PAK!!!!
Thank god I did not vote for PTI.
@rizwan: You are so right, it is media gardee now, They started with bashing MQM and their next but not so blatant target is PTI. Media supports forces of status quo, people with rolex watches
Pro American Pakistani Media is always busy in defaming PTI. Shame on you all paid journalists. Go, get lifafa and start praising Malik Riaz and Nawaz Sharif.
PTI trollery and total hypocracy is really hard to believe!
Might is always Right in Pakistan
ET's daily dose of anti-PTI propaganda!Done.
These journalists should take the matter to the UN Security Council. Obama should also be called to register protest against docs. ET, you did it once again :) Keep it up!
Three paragraphs (I wouldn't call them paragraphs either) of propaganda. Come on, you can do better than that ET.
Tuned into Express Tribune homepage today expecting a piece on PTI. Was not disappointed.
Imran Khan still not believe , that he lost Election Come out from ,fool paradise
These Reporters are blackmailers. they will misbehave all the time but if some one do the same against them, soon they become a very innocent. stop these none sense things......
PTI is a new MQM.
@Shafique:
Hundred percent agree with you. The basic objective of a terrorist is to terrorize a country and Pakistani media is providing more than 100 percent exposure to terrorits, bomb blasts, suicide attacks, etc., which are affecting the minds of Pakistan's people very badly especially of kids when they watch live suicide or bomb blast. So, in nutshell, Media is responsibel of more than 50 percent terrorism in Pakistan by giving exposure to the terrorists.
Now PTI trolls will start blaming media for all this!
This was the change PTI wanted to bring in Pakistan.
Media are the new mafia in Pakistan!
do the journalists have any sense of responsibility, their behavior on what is seen on TV as so called investigative programs is simply conduct unbecoming amount to blackmailing
PTI showing its true colors. Had this been some other party leaders failure, Pti trolls would have been supporting media. But when the matter concerns their beloved IK, the same media becomes the demon.
Media has played a role to destroy pakistan's image in the world. Media gave exposure to terrorists.
ET you are again up to the expectation with another senseless and biased piece against PTI
freedom of media but not badmashi of media has been promised by pti. so a chunk of media people should stop blackmailing and do their professional duty for a prosperous pakistan as they have been doing so far. electrinic media has indeed played a positive role at many fronts but some bad people like in all other professions have made this profession for their personal benefits.....
