Islamabad: President Dr Arif Alvi has taken notice of incidents of violence against journalists in the country.
In a letter to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, he said such events reflect a mindset of intolerance that has negative repercussions both on the future of democracy as well as freedom of expression as guaranteed by Article 19 of the Constitution of Pakistan.
The President observed that recent actions being taken against the reputed journalists undermined the efforts of the judiciary because when in one jurisdiction relief was provided, cases were filed in another jurisdiction with mala fide intention to continue the harassment.
