Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned undue sloganeering against state institutions during a conference on Sunday.

In a statement on Monday, he said the coalition government and his party are fully determined to ensure freedom of expression of every citizen as per the Constitution. He said the government itself provides such forums where people can openly express their difference of opinion on matters of public importance.

The Prime Minister said using such forums to target state institutions, especially the armed forces of Pakistan, for political and vested interests is regrettable. He said officers and personnel of the armed forces are sacrificing their lives to protect Pakistan from internal and external threats.

Assuring to uphold the fundamental right of freedom of expression, he condemned the unjustified sloganeering against state institutions on Sunday last. He said such sloganeering by some of the participants is regrettable.  He said we should demonstrate more responsibility at public level.
