The premier stated that he respects the sacrifices of journalists who have supported democracy and constitution.
The prime minister added that he did not understand the objectives of the people staging sit-ins in Islamabad. He stated that the sit-ins had negative impact on the national economy as Pakistani currency was devalued during the protests.
