Reporter’s question annoys Pervez Rashid

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Pervez Rahsid expressed severe anger over a question of a reporter associated with the state-owned news agency about the money collected for nationwide scheme ‘Qarz Utaro Mulk Sanawaro’.

The Information Minister was addressing a press conference on Tuesday in Islamabad.

The reporter asked will the Prime Minister share details of what became of the funds collected under ‘Qarz Utaro Mulk Sanwaro’ scheme?

This infuriated the Information Minister to an extent that he in reply asked the reporter which media outlet he works for. The reporter said Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) – the state-run news agency.

Pervez Rashid said he is surprised as to how APP could hire a reporter who is so ignorant. He then said all the details in connection with the ‘Qarz Utaro Mulk Sanwaro’ scheme are present in the records of the National Assembly.

The reporter asked the Information Minister to watch his tone. On this, Pervez Rashid suddenly ended the press conference and left the venue.
