مریم نواز صاحبہ نے کُھل کر شہباز شریف صاحب و دیگر کے آئی ایس آئی میس میں ملاقات کیلئے جانے کی مخالفت کر دی۔ ن لیگ آفیشل اکاؤنٹ سے ٹویٹ۔

Play nasty? To a journalist? Pl don’t attack journalists for telling what fact says. No,Maryam sba,this is exactly what your statement says&means in all entirety. You were questioned about “all and everyone” & you responded about “all and everyone” including all members of PMLN. https://t.co/KGGpfYJe5j

Respected Maryam sba, let me ask you the Q then. Do you believe your party president & other PMLN members did right by going to ISI Mess for meeting on GB?

absolutely inappropriate and unnecessary esp. when a journo is only stating/reporting what was said https://t.co/17RQq1Dz3j
— Aleena Farooq Sheikh (@FarooqAleena) September 23, 2020
Not fair to call a journalist asking a valid question "nasty". The principled stance stands validated with answers to these qs – is the ISI Mess the right forum, should the parliamentary leaders have gone, and most importantly, why didn't the PM chair the meeting in parliament? https://t.co/tGqYBJR2XZ

Such comments unleash a barrage of abuse & is exactly what we highlighted in our 07/09/2020 statement signed by almost 200 women journos. By all means reject her argument/analysis- not her intellect/intentions or style. Also all primetime shows will be inferring the same tonight https://t.co/DTND64oOTh

This is a reminder that despite our requesting that all political parties should come out with their social media policy and nominating the members of media cells for open accountability, not much has been done in this regard. #togetheragainstdigitalabuse #AttacksWontSilenceUs
