"They should resign from their media jobs and join politics openly if that is what they want," Omar said. "We are ready to meet them in a political contest, not hide behind media freedom."

Omar expressed concern that many TV and radio presenters are now taking part in street protests and political activities while still claiming to be neutral journalists...
