“Anusha Rehman was briefing me about court’s proceedings when this journalist started making video upon which she snatched mobile phone of the reporter and informed him that bringing cell phone inside Supreme Court (SC) is banned”, said Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique.

The protesting journalists refused to let Khawaja Saad address the media, shouting him down despite his repeated attempts to speak.
