They criticised the government for victimising Geo, Jang and The News over a report regarding hurling of shoes at President Asif Ali Zardari during his party address in Birmingham, UK, on Saturday.

The activists of ISF, the student wing of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI), also chanted slogans in favour of Jang Group and against the government.
