ISLAMABAD: An activist of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has lodged complaint with the Sankara police station against Press Information Department (PID) for **t permitting PTI leadership to hold press conference at conference hall of PID on Thursday.
The police refused to entertain the complaint saying that it was absolutely illegal and unethical to hold press conference in a government department building. A group of PTI activists led by its leadership reached PID and asked the administration to arrange for press conference of the opposition party but the PID refused to permit them.
The PTI, setting an unlawful precedent, protested against the department and held the press talk in front of PID which was unprecedented. APP adds: Minister of State for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage, Marriyum Aurangzeb said that the attempt by the PTI leaders to force their way to the press centre of PID to hold a press conference, was a well considered gimmick by the party to attract media attention.
Speaking to different news channels, she said that in response to the written request to PID from PTI for holding the press conference, the party was clearly told in writing that the press centre at PID was only meant to be used by the government spokesmen and functionaries and the rules did **t allow this facility to be used by the political parties.
She said that PID's letter was in accordance with law and PTI could challenge it at any forum if it wished so. She urged the PTI leaders to desist from such antics and mend their ways. The minister said that their stance on the issue was illogical as tomorrow they could ask for using the Prime Minister House for their political activities.
She observed that PTI wanted to run the government institutions as per its desires by threatening and pressurising them which was impossible and could **t be allowed. The PTI should better refrain from threatening the government institutions, she added. Responding to a question, the minister said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had always shown restraint and tolerance towards the opposition parties.
