LAHORE: Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Saturday said that PPP-led government in its three-year track record has transformed media freedom into a reality instead of raising hollow slogans.
He was addressing the All Pakistan Newspapers Society (APNS) Regional Press Convention-2011 at a local hotel, where Punjab Governor Sardar Latif Khan Khosa, Federal Information Minister Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan, MNAs, MPAs, APNS President Hameed Haroon and other office-bearer, newspapers owners of national and vernacular press and veteran journalists were also present.
Gilani hoped the media would play an effective role in creating national consensus on operation against terrorism and extremism and all challenges being faced by Pakistan. "I believe, the nation and press rise and fall together," he said.
He said the government had encouraged all initiatives of the media, which gave a hope, courage and confidence to the people of Pakistan, besides promoting a self-regulation system for media organisations.
