WASHINGTON: President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf has said that media in Pakistan are not under any restrictions. This he stated during an interview conducted by the Newsweek-Washington Post's Lally Weymouth.
To another question, he replied, "We issued a code of conduct and asked them to sign it. It's as good as you have in your own country. All the channels except one accepted it, and all except one are open. The print media were not closed at all."
However, when the interviewer reminded him that there is no code of conduct for the media in the US, the president backed out of his earlier position and said, "No, the code of conduct is there in most countries of the world. Why should we compare the United States to Pakistan?"
