JOURNALISTS: Members of the Nawabshah press club through a unanimous resolution condemned publication of blasphemous cartoons published in Danish, Norwegian and French newspapers.
A general body meeting of the Nawabshah press club was held on Wednesday in which the members said they did not believe in the kind of press freedom where sentiments of millions of Muslims were hurt.
The meeting said that issues such as integrity and religion must be handled with care as freedom of press had its boundaries.
They believed that unbridled freedom could lead to chaos and sufferings for everyone.
The meeting said reproduction of the cartoons was ‘irresponsible’ behaviour of the press.
The members demanded from ambassadors and press of Norway, Denmark and France to discourage such trends in future.
