Media not to carry ads on Sharif

LAHORE – The PML-N alleges that the government has directed the print media not to carry advertisements regarding return of party’s president Shahbaz Sharif.

Provincial secretary-general Saad Rafiq and Mr. Sharif’s spokesman Farrukh Shah alleged at a joint press conference here on April 29 that government officials had directed newspaper editors neither to carry the ads nor news items in this regard.

They said the rulers should respect the Supreme Court verdict allowing Mr. Sharif to return. They said statements of the ruling PML-Q leaders on the issue tantamount to contempt of court. They said Mr. Sharif would land at Lahore airport and would go to the Data Sahib’s shrine.
