ISLAMABAD - MNA Mohsin Dawar has said that he and fellow legislator Ali Wazir were not allowed to hold a press conference at the National Press Club on Friday despite making a booking in advance.
In a tweet, he said: “Today, me & @Aliwazirna50, elected representatives of Waziristan were not allowed to hold a press conference at the Islamabad Press Club despite having a booking. We know who is behind this, but we also wonder whether they know what they are doing to the unity of this federation?”

Journalist and activist Marvi Sarmad asked who is running the press club in the capital. “Honorable members of Parliament @mjdawar and @Aliwazirna50 were not allowed in press club to hold a presser. Who is running the club? Where is the elected body of journalists that runs it? Who is dictating terms to national press club? We have a right to know.”
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari also regretted that the two MNAs from Waziristan were not allowed to hold the presser. “Extremely disappointed to hear that 2 elected MNA were not allowed to hold their press conference at National Press Club Islamabad. While censorship has reached new heights in NayaPakistan, press clubs have always been sanctuaries of free speech even under the worst dictatorship.”
If my call is so important to them, why don’t they answer it for 22 minutes?
How come when I want to, but something specific online is the only item out of stock.
When I get into a queue or lane going fast, the moment I get in, it becomes the slowest and refuses to budge.
