GUJRANWALA: Journalists community staged a protest demonstration against police for stopping Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Omar Ayub to participate in a meeting of Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) here on Friday.
It was reported that the PFUJ meeting was about to start at a local hotel and the arrival of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Omar Ayub was expected when the police arrived at the venue to stop Omar Ayub from attending. They also seized the hotel manager.
