ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Monday advised the opposition to stop the campaign launched by them to malign the state institutions, duly protected by the Constitution.
“I want to give advice to the opposition that it should stop running a campaign against judiciary and army and respect the Constitution which gives them full protection,” he said while talking to media persons after attending a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan.
He said the way, the opposition kept both of the institutions on their target through their leaders and social media account was ‘quite inappropriate’. “In my opinion it is a sheer violation of the Constitution,” he added.
Divulging details of the meeting, he said it was noted that ‘video leaks scandals’ surfaced whenever hearings of corruption cases of the Sharifs approached.
Fawad said the Panama scandal was investigated by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and reported by a German newspaper, adding it had nothing to do with Pakistani media outlets.
