PPP denounces reports pertaining to Bilawal House getting ill-gotten money from Fishermen’s Cooperative Society official
Pakistan People’s Party on Sunday wrote a letter to Pakistan Electronic Media Regularity Authority (PEMRA), urging the authority to “stop media from maligning Bilawal House”.
“Bilawal House is not just a concrete structure of bricks and cement. It is revered as their spiritual power house to tens of thousands true Jiyalas,” the letter stated.
“It is devastating for the souls of true Jiyalas about banner headlines in the channels and the print media that someone in the Fishermen’s Cooperative Society was paying 70 per cent of his ill-gotten money to Bilawal House. Another detained official is quoted with 25 percent. This is all done through the so-called ‘sources’. Truly professional journalists understand that any story quoting ‘sources’ is some kind of propaganda. In media-literate societies such stories are rubbished. In a country where dead bodies are recovered with torture marks on daily basis, anybody under duress can own any words put into his mouth,” the letter added.
The letter also mentioned that similar media trial of the PPP leadership was also conducted during the Nawaz Sharif’s period in 90s.
“PPP likes to request the TV channels to stop the media trial of Bilawal House and let the courts decide all the matters on the merits of rule of law,” the letter concluded.
PEMRA — WHATS THAT ????
