Overview

• Lawmakers adopted a resolution after the Parliamentary Reporters Association staged a walkout over Ijaz Ahmed’s account of being abused at Adiala Jail.
• The measure directs the Interior Ministry to provide security for Ahmed and tasks the Cybercrime Wing with action against social‑media threats.
• PTI lawmakers opposed the move, with Barrister Gohar Ali Khan saying the party lacked clarity on what transpired inside the jail and urging the House not to table it.
• Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar called the episode unfortunate and warned that online intimidation of journalists poses safety risks, a view echoed by PPP’s Shazia Marri.
• The NA noted a written complaint from the PRA and released visuals of Ahmed meeting Speaker Ayaz Sadiq, as lawmakers also referenced Imran Khan’s reported call for a high‑level probe into anchor Imtiaz Mir’s murder.
