US deems curbs on Pakistan media as blunder

US State Department has warned Pakistan’s democratic government against the dire outcomes of banning and threatening media in Pakistan, terming such actions as major ‘blunders’.

Briefing journalists here at US State Department, the spokesman Philip. J Crowley hailing the performance of Pakistani media in stabilizing democracy, said: “Media in Pakistan including ‘Geo News’ are vibrant and active more than any other country in the world”.

He said the independent, vibrant Pakistani media have played a pivotal role in sending the message of love, peace and colorful life being led by such nation, which has cost it too much against peace of this world by fighting war against extremism.

Prevailing democratic government should not replicate delinquencies made by dictator, he urged.
