Adviser to the prime minister, Rana Sanaullah said on Friday that talks should be held with the government over the journalists' opinion in connection with the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA).

Expressing his thoughts on the Samaa TV programme, "Mere Sawal With Absar Alam," Sanaullah said: "I stand with the journalists' organisations over the misuse of the PECA Act. However, if any of the journalists made a mistake, the case should be registered according to the law."

"The arrested journalists appeared before the courts due to the PECA Act," said Sanaullah.

He said: "The journalists' organisations have staged protests against the PECA Act."

Speaking about Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif, Sanaullah said: "Nawaz Sharif will play an active role for the country's betterment."

Sanaullah said: "Nawaz Sharif will be mobilised over the matters in line with Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after Eid Al-Fitr."

Taking a jibe at the PTI, Sanaullah said: "If the PTI takes any step against the interests of the country, then the PTI will be responsible."

He said: "It is right that the United States is a big force, but there are other veto powers as well."

"PTI founder Imran Khan has used the narrative of the Pakistani people regarding the US," stated Sanaullah.

He said, "During the Pakistan Democratic Movement-led tenure, the Chinese authorities had also wanted to be taken on board."

"The premier himself prioritises the security of the Chinese citizens," said Sanaullah.
