Sindh Information Minister Saeed Ghani has denounced the ‘unannounced restrictions imposed on media’ by the federal government and has stated that such restrictions were an attempt to prevent criticism against the PTI-led government.
While speaking to journalists at the Karachi Press Club, Ghani criticised the present federal government and said that the financial crisis being faced by the media was due to the ‘failed’ policies of the government.
He stated that the federal government had placed bans on media to prevent journalists from exposing the failures of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf.
The information minister also repeated the view of the Pakistan People’s Party that the ‘incompetence’ of the PTI government was pushing the country towards a crisis. He added that this was mainly affecting the lower and middle classes.
Ghani was also questioned about the PPP’s defeat in the PS-11 Larkana by-polls. He was of the view that his party always faced stiff competition in that constituency, pointing out that the party received a higher number of votes than in the previous elections.
He added that the Grand Democratic Alliance was given a ‘power vaccine’ to ensure its victory.
The information minister also stated that the Sindh government would remain and that the prime minister should worry about his government’s survival beyond January.
