ISLAMABAD—Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) has taken notice of inappropriate language used by Federal Minister Faisal Vawda on social media against journalists Wusatullah Khan, Zarar Khurro, Mubashir Zaidi, Fakhar Durrani, and Umer Cheema.

President PFUJ Shahzada Zulfiqar and Secretary-General Nasir Zaidi, in a joint statement, demanded a public apology from the minister and have requested Prime Minister Imran Khan to look into the matter.

 “He threatened senior journalists, who were only performing their professional duties by asking for a probe into the minister’s alleged acquiring of assets illegally and his US nationality. Instead of responding decently, he threatened and used inappropriate language,” the statement said.
