Nasim Zehra Announces to Withdraw Her Name From The Petition Filed By Journalists in IHC
صحافیوں کی طرف سے اسلام آباد ہائی کورٹ میں دائر درخواست سے نسیم زہرہ نے اپنا نام واپس لینے کا اعلان کردیا ہے۔ نسیم زہرہ نے اپنی ٹویٹ میں لکھا کہ انہیں تو یہ بتایا گیا تھا کہ یہ پیٹیشن میڈیا کی آزادی سے متعلق ہے، انہیں علم نہیں تھا کہ یہ تو ایک مفرور کے حقوق کے متعلق ہے۔
So @adeelraja breakfast bit is pure nonsense as 4 me a journalist is content of the petition I was told was being filed 4 media freedom-instead it’s abt rights of an absconder re article 19. Am withdrawing from petition Wil continue express my opinion on this in my Progs/columns. https://t.co/FMtozVvrII

نسیم زہرہ نے ایک ٹویٹ کا جواب دیتے ہوئے مزید لکھا کہ یہ انسانی حقوق سے متعلق اچھی پیٹیشن ہے مگر میرے لئے بطور صحافی میڈیا کی آزادی سے متعلق درخواست کو صرف ایک ہی اشو پر فوکسڈ نہیں ہونا چاہئے، درجنوں ایسے اور معاملات ہیں جن میں حکومت / اسٹیبلشمنٹ کی طرف سے صحافیوں اور چینلز پر پابندی لگا کر میڈیا کی آزادی کو سلب کیا جاتا ہے۔
Yes @zburki a good human rights petition but 4 me as journo a mediafreedom petition can’t b narrowly focused on just 1 issue - instead it must cover dozens of examples of Govt/Establishment muzzling media freedom which includes journalist nabbing & channel banning 2 etc. https://t.co/DK9LNgqXdn

So @adeelraja should u not be apologising 4 making a baseless claim that journalists signing the petition were “fed” the idea of such a petition by ShahidKhaqan Abbasi ? https://t.co/fU5SGfRz69

It’s a valid HR petition. No declarations on my behalf my friend! No “dhooka” given,just that I believe a media freedom petition must include channel banning & journalist kidnapping.Meanwhile ‘dhooka’ u r giving suggesting journalist signed bcos ShahidKhaqanAbbasi asked them to! https://t.co/ZzxWKkZxtb

Ofcos @adeelraja u must argue with me on a public issue v r discussing-ur tweets have brought up. 1 that someone cheated me. Not true, just that I dnt agree with an approach that is ignoring media issues.2. V signed bcos ShahidKhaqan asked at Oct b’fast. No,lots discussed in jest https://t.co/HRWFQyRlm0

I wrote that I was told it’s abt media freedom but the petition was very narrowly focused on absconder rights vs article 19 -double standards/authority of PEMRA,ignoring broader channel banning/journo disappearance. Obv disagreement of thrust, no “dhooka” as u wrote @adeelraja https://t.co/CapZ95zAYl
