He was of the view that media could play an important role in creating public awareness on important national and social issues.

He lauded the role of the newspapers, editors and journalists for the freedom of the press.

He stated that in the wake of Indian atrocities in the Occupied Kashmir, the people of Pakistan and the media were raising their voice effectively to protest against such atrocities. The president of the CPNE, Amir Mahmood, welcomed the Federal Information Secretary.
Secretary General of CPNE, Ejazul Haq, praised the contributions of Imran Gardezi.
