A special meeting of the journalist organizations\u2019 Joint Action Committee, which includes the PFUJ, PBA, CPNE, AEMEND, and APNS, was held, during which it was stated that the federal government had breached its<br \/>\npromise by getting the controversial bill passed in the National Assembly without consultation. The focus of this bill is not just social media, but also electronic and print media&#8217;s digital platforms, with the aim of criminalizing<br \/>\ndissenting opinions. However, if the government still wishes to consult stakeholders, the presentation of this controversial bill in the Senate must be postponed. Otherwise, the JAC will begin its protest plan. In case the bill is<br \/>\npresented in the Senate, there will be protests not only during the session but also a nationwide call for demonstrations. A large protest rally will be held in Islamabad, in which all journalist organizations will participate. Lawyers,<br \/>\nhuman rights organizations, civil society, and political parties will also be invited to join the protests. The Joint Action Committee has also decided to challenge the PECA Act amendment bill in court of law after its final approval,<br \/>\nand consultations with lawyers have already begun. The Joint Action Committee reiterated that while the journalist organizations are not against any law, they cannot accept legislation made unilaterally without consultation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karachi: January 23, 2025: The Joint Action Committee has out rightly rejected the controversial PECA act amendment bill.
