Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq says the government strictly believes in freedom of media and is taking all out steps to facilitate the media community.

Addressing a news conference in Islamabad on Friday, she said rule of law and empowering state institutions is the essence of Prime Minister Imran Khan's 22-years long struggle.

The Special Assistant said state institutions are playing their unbiased role under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan, however she regretted that to link the arrest of a media owner by NAB with the freedom of media is unethical.
