ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb has rejected a notion that journalists were missing during the rule of the incumbent government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif which has rather brought 7 points improvement in the country’s ranking in the index for freedom of speech and media independence. “Name me one journalist who is missing. Imran Riaz is a spokesperson of a political party now,” she said while talking to a journalist of a foreign media outlet trying to build a wrong perception about media independence and freedom of speech.
