This essay condemns the actions of the group, which we believe were sanctioned by the party’s leadership, and calls for a united response to uphold the principles of freedom of speech, rule of law, tolerance, participation, inclusiveness, and equality that are the foundations of our democracy. Body:1. The Importance of Democracy: Democracy thrives on dissent and the ability for different voices to be heard.

When a group feels entitled to control the media and determine what information is broadcasted, it undermines the very essence of democracy and leads to chaos.2. Condemning the NPP’s Actions: As stakeholders in our democracy, it is imperative that we call out the NPP as a party and disown their actions.

Their inability to uphold the principles of democracy, as demonstrated through this attack, should not be tolerated in our political landscape.

It is through a free and independent media that we can ensure transparency, address grievances, and work towards the common good of all citizens.4. Media Freedom and Democracy: The PPP firmly believes in media freedom as a way to consolidate our democracy.

We must stand united in condemning such actions and upholding the principles of freedom of speech, rule of law, tolerance, participation, inclusiveness, and equality.

The PPP reiterates its commitment to media freedom and encourages the media to continue holding the government accountable.
