Karachi, Pakistan,

GM Jamali President PFUJ condemns and said that

I urge Prime Minister Imran Khan to warn all his ministers, advisers and special assistants to treat journalists fairly. Especially when we go abroad, of course we talk about Pakistan only. Discuss the Pakistan dire situation, but such incidents damage the country reputations.

The Prime Minister should take serious note of this as it is causing great agitation among journalists not only in Pakistan but also in abroad.

Muhammad Rizwan Bhatti President Karachi Press Club said that

It is the attitude of all PTI workers and leaders that they always take question negatively. This is what Shahbaz Gill did, instead of answering, he misbehave.

“I condemn this incident on behalf of the Karachi Press Club and all journalists’ organizations, I also demand from Shahbaz Gill to immediately apologize to Azeem M. Mian for the incident and Just as he has been rude at an event same alike Shahbaz Gill apologizes openly.

 

Ejaz Ahmad President Karachi Union of Journalists urges

Imran Khan warn his ministers and advisers not to take this kind of attitude towards journalists. If they don’t want to answer a question, avoid it. This behavior does not suit them to use such nonsense for journalists.

 

Lubna Jarrar Vice President K.U.J. said

“It is very unfortunate that Prime Minister’s Adviser has treated and abused senior journalist Azeem M. Mian.

Journalist is a part of society and they are the voice of the people, the ears and the eyes.

If you are insulting a journalist, it means you are insulting your people and these people are your voters.

 

Syed Hassan Abbas Former President of KFUJ said that

“It is very unfortunate that Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan did not take notice of Shahbaz Gill’s behavior and no statement was issued by the Ministry of Information of Pakistan.

Prime minister’s adviser, makes a lot of allegations against him in response to a question from a senior journalist. In My view Shahbaz Gill did not deserves this position under any circumstances.

 The Prime Minister of Pakistan should not only take Notice of this incident but also demand an explanation from Shahbaz Gill that why he took such an attitude.

Shahbaz Gill should apologize for causing such a grief and anger among journalists across the country. He contaminated Pakistan’s image on national and international forums.
