Islamabad: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain said on Monday that some media houses were claiming fake news as their right.


On his official twitter account, the minister said that some media house owners were telling their employees to take bonus along with their salary and quit the job.
“How could the law of protection of ordinary media workers could and heavy fines against fake news be against freedom of media,” he asked.
The minister further questioned, “How can false news be a fundamental right”.
چند میڈیا مالکان فیک نیوز کو اپنا حق قرار دے رہےہیں اور اپنے ملازمین کو کہ رہے ہیں تنخواہ کے ساتھ بونس بھی لیں اور سڑک پر نظر آئیں، عام میڈیا ورکر کو تحفظ اور فیک نیوز کے خلاف بھاری جرمانہ یہ قانون صحافت کے کیسے خلاف ہے؟ جھوٹی خبر کیسے بنیادی حق ہو سکتا ہے؟
