ISLAMABAD: Minister for Interior  Chaudhry Nisar on Thursday  took notice of news reports,  especially of ongoing propaganda  on socialmedia regarding  filing of cases against missing  bloggers.  According to Interior Ministry,  there was no truth in the  cases filed against bloggers and  these news reportswere “ridiculous”  and “non-serious”. The  minister said the aim of propagation  of wrong information in  this matter by some elements  was to further complicate the  matter. Negative propaganda  and propagation ofwrong information  was a clear proof of insensitivity  of these elements, he  added. "Maybe they do not realise  that this act of theirs was  further increasing difficulties for  the affected families," he said. At  this time the government was  making every possible effort for  the safe recovery of bloggers.  The minister also expressed  sympathy with the families of  missing persons.
