ISLAMABAD—The PTI government on Wednesday made it clear it will go ahead and form the Pakistan Media Development Authority ignoring calls from the media industry not to do so.
"Strong consequences for fake news authors are needed; otherwise, it will continue damaging Pakistan," a short video posted on the official PTI Twitter account said.

Why are some sections of media scared when they claim they don't give fake news? #میڈیا_مانگے_جھوٹ_کی_آزادی pic.twitter.com/oDYNvTAGG2
