'We all believe in the freedom of the press . We have come with all our commitments. The ministry and the government are in favor of this', he said, 'if there is any doubt that the ministry will restrict the freedom of the press, I want to assure you that we all have full faith in the freedom of the press . Don't question our intentions.'
