"The controversial report published on the Independence Day on 26 March is akin to undermining independence," the statement added.
Condemning the publication of the news, the organisation said, "This is part of a series of attempts to implement an agenda in the name of journalism. Dissemination of fabricated and purposeful news is not journalism."
