KARACHI, July 18: The All Pakistan Newspaper Society (APNS) decided here on Thursday to move “aggressively and affirmatively” to open up the agenda on the proposed black press laws to public debate.

An emergency meeting of the society, was unanimous that a backdoor attempt was being made to transform a basic tenet of the Constitution that guarantees freedom of expression and freedom of the press and sets up the watchdog role of the press in any future democratic set-up.
