KARACHI: (HRNW) The abduction of journalist Matiullah Jan was an attack on Pakistan’s democracy and media, which is in all ways against the country’s laws, PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Friday.
In a media briefing at the journalist’s house in Islamabad, he said that one can dislike Matiullah Jan and his views but kidnapping him was an attempt to snatch the freedom of speech from the public.
“An attack such as this one is not only unlawful and against the Constitution, but also inhumane,” Bilawal said.
“I have come here today to extend my support to Matiullah Jan because what happened with him can happen with you or me as well,” he added.
Responding to Bilawal, the journalist thanked the PPP chairperson and other political parties for supporting him. “Freedom of speech is not only important for journalists but also Parliament and the judiciary,” he said.
