PM Shehbaz Sharif pledges accurate information for citizens

Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has said the government of Pakistan is committed to ensuring the provision of accurate and authentic information to citizens, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP).

Sharif's remarks tied this commitment to broader goals of promoting transparency and safeguarding citizens' right to access information, APP reported, though the outlet did not specify the setting in which the comments were made.

The statement echoes similar remarks in recent days from other senior Pakistani officials, including President Asif Ali Zardari, on the government's stated approach to public information and accountability.

Pakistan has right-to-information laws at the federal level and in several provinces, intended to give citizens a legal avenue to request information from public bodies. Government officials have periodically highlighted these commitments, framing accurate and accessible information as central to public trust.

No further details of the prime minister's remarks were included in the APP report.
