ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Journalists have lodged protest with leaders of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Sunday after media personnel were assaulted by officials of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for clicking pictures of arrested chief of Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Tariq Fazal Chaudhry and Daniyal Aziz were to address a press conference in the federal capital when journalists resorted to chants against the ruling party.
