NA adopts resolution condemning mistreatment of journalist

The National Assembly passed a resolution condemning PTI founder Imran Khan’s alleged mistreatment of senior journalist Ijaz Ahmed during proceedings at Adiala Jail. The incident caused protests by the Parliamentary Reporters Association, which demanded accountability and security for the journalist. Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar and PPP leader Shazia Marri both denounced the online harassment campaign and threats directed at Ahmed, stressing that press freedom and journalist safety are essential for democracy. The resolution called on the interior ministry and Cybercrime Wing to ensure protection and action against online threats. PTI lawmakers opposed the resolution, maintaining uncertainty over the jail incident.
