A day before among a senior working Journalist Mohammed Ali Behleem requested and demanded took out a rally by Larkana Press Club to mark the Press Freedom Day, but he was refused and taunted about freedom of press, despite planning the event.

Later, occupied body member threatened senior Journalists that why they took out rally without permission on the day. Even present body member is the reporter of Eveninger of a local paper and became the member after signature of senior Journalists.
It is also pertinent to be mentioned here that unfortunately Larkana Press Club occupied by influential group of media without election process for the years and there is no any freedom of press or respect for senior Journalists working in the field of journalism was observed.
Journalists’ Unions and Associations observed press freedom across the country with seminars and rallies at different Press Clubs, aims to press freedom is the result of sacrifices of Media men.
