Information minister Atta Ullah Tarar, law minister Azam Nazir Tarar and state minister for interior Talal Chaudhry held a joint press conference.

Atta Ullah Tarar said Pakistan has close friendly relations with the countries in the region. Unnecessary comments on social media regarding foreign policy can prove harmful.

Making negative vlogs on relations between two countries to seek views and spreading sensation is not service to country. Such attitudes can affect Pakistan global stature.
