According to Article 19 of the Constitution, it fully believes in the freedom of expression, this freedom is allowed to be exercised within the limits and restrictions of the Constitution and the law.
In the letter, the Prime Minister says that when PTI was in power, you never raised your voice about it. I draw your attention to Human Rights Watch’s annual world report 2022. , reports that the government has stepped up efforts to control Pakistan’s media.

You did not even show any concern for the dissolution of malicious assemblies in 2 provinces, all this you did to satisfy the ego and arrogance of Chairman PTI.
He has said in the letter that the provincial assemblies were dissolved not for the constitutional purpose but to blackmail the federal government.
