Says professional journalists can’t have any problem with the move
Notes no one afraid of social media, but there are concerns over the trend of levelling baseless accusationsLAHORE – Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari on Wednesday said levelling baseless accusations and promoting fake news won’t be possible after the introduction of a defamation law in the province, as she defended the proposed move and rejected the arguments presented by the critics.
Arguing her case, she said similar laws had been in place around the globe and were tough in their nature and added that anyone having objection on any of the sections should submit the same in a written form by Sunday. Replying to various questions, Bokhari said no professional journalist could have any problem with the law. However, those earning dollars through insulting others would surely have reservations, she remarked.
Bokhari said, “There are five to seven people who work on in this agenda who use the word “journalist” to identify themselves, but are not journalists.”“It won’t be allowed now to launch a campaign for 123 days and then claim that someone had whispered that fake news to me,” she said in an obvious reference to the incarcerated PTI founding chairman.
