(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The
demand to shut down Al Jazeera by the four blockading countries is
another form of pressure tactic, Doha resident Mir Mohammal Ali told
Qatar Urdu Radio's live show Haqeeqat yesterday.
Ali spoke about the
renewed calls to adhere to a list of 13 demands by Saudi Arabia, the
UAE, Bahrain and Egypt for Qatar to accept in the aftermath of the siege
that was illegally imposed since June 5 last year.
'The fact that
the blockading countries are targeting media shows they do not want
people to know the truth in the region. But it is the job of the media
to report truth and reality on ground.
Ali said that despite the
blockade, Qatar's market was growing steadily. 'Whether you look at the
food market, businesses or constructions materials, you will see there
is steady supply in the market and that has secured Qatar's growth and
stability.
