ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Farrukh Habib Wednesday said that the federal government had no plan to promulgate an ordinance for the Pakistan Media Development Authority bill. “It is also fake news that an ordinance is being brought on PMDA or a draft is ready. The minister said all stakeholders including PBA, APNS, CPNE, major press clubs of the country and PFUJ have been consulted on the PMDA framework. The minister said there was no final draft of PMDA and no ordinance was being promulgated in this regard. He said Pakistan Media Development Authority (PMDA) would be a blessing for journalists and media workers.
