KARACHI: Pakistan’s Constitution guarantees freedom of expression to its citizens. Digital media has revolutionised world, enabling public to access and hear truth.

However, placing restrictions on digital freedom does not offer lasting solution. Engineer Sabir Hussain Qaimkhani MQM-P MPA on opening day of five-day workshop organised by Women Media Centre in Hyderabad informed students of Sindh University Jamshoro about benefits of digital media and its professional platforms. He stated that information and expression cannot be blocked or eliminated. He pointed out that former US President Barack Obama ran his entire election campaign on social media and revolution was sparked in Turkey through social media message. He stressed that in civilised countries, people are educated rather than subjected to restrictions, as these do not resolve issues. He praised Executive Director of Women Media Centre Fauzia Shaheen for organising workshop on ‘Digital Media for Digital Democracy. He urged students to promote truth in digital media and to avoid becoming part of any propaganda.
