PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif said media was the fourth pillar of the state which “fascist rulers” were trying to destroy. “We can smell revenge from Mir Shakil-ur-Rehman’s arrest,” he said.
Shehbaz said that the media was being suppressed over the past 18 years. He said that a government which was going down always attacked the media and political opponents.
