Instead of trolling anti-government and anti-PTI voice, the government must pay close attention to the pandemic, and their time and resources should be put to proper use for the awareness on COVID-19. In these extraordinary circumstances, the country needs unity. We need to work together to cope with the crisis.
PPP & journalist community worked long, hard and sacrificed much for this democratic right everyone should enjoy 2/4

According to Bilawal Zardari, at this critical juncture, we cannot afford the political riots and accusations. Media plays an important role in the democratic system and it can play its part in making the government answerable in times of crisis.
Those who think that the media can be suppressed by bullying should remember history; remember that Pakistani journalists have a long history of struggle against injustice and oppression.
