“The four media houses, NTA, Gamji TV, Al-Umma TV, and Pride FM radio, were also at the event to cover the occasion even though they were aware of the ban on political rallies by the state government.“The government has directed security agents to arrest any staff member of the affected stations who try to go into the stations to perform any duty.”All rights reserved.
