He said that nobody was silenced neither their speeches, news, views and interviews, were banned to broadcast or publish on print and electronic media respectively.
Nadeem Nusrat said that on the other hand, MQM Chief was silenced on print and electronic media for raising voices, protesting against the extra-judicial killings and arbitrary arrests of his party workers. He said that he just criticized the unconstitutional activism of law enforcement agencies while his speeches were conceived out of context.
He said that his speeches, news, interviews were banned for the last year although Maulana Abdul Aziz of Lal Masjid was allowed on the media but the leader of a liberal and political party was silenced. He said that the government deprived him from his fundamental right to the freedom of speech.
The Convener demanded the government and the authorities to immediately lift the ban on his media appearance and let him communicate and guide his people. He said that the hunger strike would continue tomorrow as well and was aimed to create awareness about the discriminations of human rights in Pakistan.
