llegations leveled by the government, Geo’s senior analyst Kamran Khan said this has not happened for the first time, adding whether there is a civilian government or a military rule, such accusations appear at a time when the government comes under pressure over its own failures and actions.
While the government should encourage the journalists, he said.
Talking to GEO News, he said when the government’s actions are investigated and correct facts are brought before the public, the media is blamed for this. The one, who tries to bring the real facts before public with sincere efforts and professionalism, faces such pressure.
The work we did while performing our professional duties proved correct and the policy of issuing threats and allegations always failed and will continue to fail in the future also.
People know very well why these threats are issued to the journalists, he said, adding that the media faces such pressure from the government and private organizations also.
“On one hand, Pakistan is confronting the worst corruption, while on the other hand armed forces are engaged in fighting the terrorists,” he said.
The Pakistani media, he said, has played a decisive role in the war against terrorism. Instead of giving threats and allegations, the media should be encouraged by the government for raising voice against the corruption, he said.
