Pakistan's Punjab Province to Control Public Awareness Campaigns

Pakistan's Punjab Province to Control Public Awareness Campaigns

The Punjab government in Pakistan wants to pass a new law that would give them control over how they tell the public about their initiatives.

This means they can decide what information is shared, how it's shared, and who can be involved, even using celebrities.

Critics say this law is to protect the government from criticism about how they spend public money on promoting themselves.

The law would also prevent people from taking the government to court over these matters.

The government says it's about making the public aware of what they are doing.
