To a query, he said he was not in favour of ban on media and fully support freedom of expression with responsibility.
He said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government challenged the status quo from day one since it came into power, and status quo forces had always provided benefits to privileged people but did nothing for common man.
Replying to a question, he said Chief Minister of Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar was the choice of the prime minister as he had right to select his team.
Shibli Faraz said the chief minister Punjab was a humble person and did not want fame for the development which he was doing for the province.

To another query, he said the PTI government had ended the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and Pakistan Peoples Party system in the country which was appreciable, adding the present government would be answerable after completion of its five years constitutional tenure.
The minister said the previous government had tried to strengthen their leadership but the PTI government was working to strengthen the country and its institutions.
