Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Saturday expressed disappointment over two elected MNAs not being allowed to hold a press conference at the Islamabad Press Club a day earlier.

"Extremely disappointed to hear that two elected MNA were not allowed to hold their press conference at National Press Club Islamabad," Bilawal said.

"While censorship has reached new heights in Naya Pakistan, press clubs have always been sanctuaries of free speech even under the worst dictatorship," he added.

A day earlier, MNAs Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir were not allowed to hold a press conference at the Islamabad Press Club "despite having a booking".
