Pakistan, Sept. 16 -- Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Wednesday sought suggestions from all stakeholders to stop the tendencies of disseminating fake news and ensure protecting rights of journalist community especially media workers.

"We need regulations on fake news and protection of media workers' rights. On these two points you [representatives of journalist bodies and media groups] forget the PMDA and must give your own suggestions but do not say that there should be no regulations," he said.

The minister expressed these views during the meeting of Senate Standing Committee on Information and Broadcasting that discussed the proposed Pakistan Media Development Authority (PMDA).
