Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Saturday expressed disappointment over two elected MNAs not being allowed to hold a press conference at the Islamabad Press Club a day earlier.
“Extremely disappointed to hear that two elected MNAs were not allowed to hold their press conference at National Press Club Islamabad,” Bilawal said in a tweet.
“While censorship has reached new heights in Naya Pakistan, press clubs have always been sanctuaries of free speech even under the worst dictatorship,” he added.
A day earlier, MNAs Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement were not allowed to hold a press conference at the Islamabad Press Club “despite having a booking”.
