LAHORE: PTI Chairman Imran Khan will address a public rally in Karachi on August 19 while the party has also decided to raise issues of suspension of transmission of ARY NEWS and ban on journalists, ARY NEWS reported.
The decisions were taken by the PTI in a consultative meeting headed by Imran Khan today, where the participants agreed to give stiff resistance against actions being taken against ARY NEWS and multiple journalists.
“I will not tolerate any attempt to ban media,” Khan said during the meeting. “ARY NEWS is being punished for presenting my case before the nation.”
