ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Thursday said the ruling party will not amend or introduce any new law about media without consultation with the media representatives.
Speaking during the meeting of Council of Pakistan Newspapers’ Editors Council (CPNE) here, he said the government believed in freedom of expression and regulation did not mean censorship. He said that for good legislation, a consensus among all the stakeholders was needed and the government would take opposition parties on-board before introducing new legislation.
The minister said that freedom achieved by media during the past few decades was a landmark achievement and which was unique in third world countries.
