Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar personally approached the journalists, offering an apology.
“We respect the entire journalist community,” Gohar said. “I extend an unconditional apology for any hurt caused by the chief minister’s remarks, which were directed at only a few journalists.”
On Sunday, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur while addressing the rally in Islamabad made severe allegations, labelling journalists as ‘sellouts’ and ‘brokers’.
To clear out the matters, Gohar said, “We have no intention of escalating tensions. If we wanted to take the law into our hands, we could have done so by now. There is immense public pressure for PTI founder Imran Khan’s release.”

Similiary, leader of the Opposition Omar Ayub, accompanied by Barrister Gohar also visited the media gallery to apologise.
Last night, journalists had announced their intention to file a lawsuit against CM Gandapur.
On Monday, journalists also staged protests in both the Senate and National Assembly and they have demanded a direct apology from Gandapur.
