KARACHI: Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah on Saturday took notice of an online smear campaign against ARY NEWS by Education Minister Saeed Ghani and barred him from using indecent language against the media channel, ARY NEWS reported.
“We have always raised our voice for the independence of the media and supported them,” he said while directing party ministers, lawmakers and office bearers to refrain from launching a tirade against ARY NEWS on social media platforms.
He said that likewise the PPP, the media has also played its role for strengthening democracy in the country. “It is media’s right to take whatever angle it wanted to cover a story,” he said.

The chief minister said that it was high time for all of them to fight COVID-19 rather than indulging in infighting. “We have a relationship of respect with everyone and want to continue it in the same manner,” Murad Ali Shah said.
It is pertinent to mention here that Saeed Ghani has been running a vicious campaign against ARY News on social media since May 7 when he was questioned about lack of health facilities in the province despite a heavy budget allocation.
