Peshawar:  Journalists in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have rejected the proposed Pakistan Media Development Authority (PMDA) by describing it as one against freedom of expression.

The journalists affiliated with different news organizations and also members of the Peshawar Press Club and Khyber Union of Journalists (KhUJ) adopted a unanimous resolution at the daylong seminar held here under the auspices of a non-governmental organization, Freedom Network and DG Map, The News International reported.

They discussed the proposed legislation and termed it against Article 19 of the Constitution which guaranteed freedom of speech and writing as a basic right of every citizen, the newspaper reported.

The speakers said if enacted, the proposed legislation would nullify Article 19 and snatch the right to freedom of expression from the citizens.
