Updated at: 1618 PST,  Tuesday, August 10, 2010  KARACHI: The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) which have a great array of leaders who untiringly trumpet the freedom of expression and freedom of having opinions and hold them as the flag-bearers of democracy, is stemming the flow of information to be freely accessed by the people, Geo News reported Tuesday. The operatives of a party that is excessively fond of democracy, are surrounding the offices of Geo News for televising the news story relating shoe-hurling incident involving President Asif Ali Zardari. The PPP’s activists, holding the flags of their party, have taken the building of Geo News at II Chundrigar Road into their siege and pelted stones. The jialas are raising full-throated slogans against Geo News and Jang Group, as more party workers are pouring into the scene. The PPP’s rioters-generated chaos badly blocked the busiest thoroughfare of the country—II Chundrigar Road, virtually beleaguering the people present at offices.
