LAHORE (Dunya News) – Provincial Minister for Information and Culture Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan on Wednesday has failed to talk to media as reporters continued their boycott against him. According to details, the journalists chanted slogans against the provincial minister for ridiculing the media. Meanwhile, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has submitted a resolution against Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan for bashing media and demanded to remove him from the post. On Tuesday, Fayyaz Ul Hassan Chohan had reacted violently in response to a question asked by a journalist on achievability and progress being made by the federal government on the model of Riyasat-e- Madina (welfare state). A reporter asked him that Jamat-e-Islami chief Siraj-ul-Haq has perceived the government’s Riyasat-e- Madina model as “vague and hollow”. Irked by questions of the media, the minister stated that such a question should have been asked from the Jamat-e-Islami and called the media “Shameless”. Responding to his comments, reporters lodged a strong protest and surrounded his car when the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) minister tried to get away.
