Fake journalists

Mohammad Khan Sial
All Pakistanis who believe in healthy journalism would be in shock to see a statement of Rehman Malik, Interior Minister claiming he had sent “his men” disguised as media persons to trace Uzair Baloch. This is highly objectionable act on part of Mr Malik as act of sending fake journalist is against all norms of journalism, humanity and prevailing law because such illegal practice has put the lives of thousands of genuine journalists at high risk.

I appeal to Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ), All Pakistan Newspapers Society (APNS), Karachi Union of Journalists, Lahore Union of journalists, various Press Clubs particularly Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad besides all those who are associated with journalism to take statement of Mr Malik seriously. If they do not raise objection on Mr Malik’s act, there would be an unending practice that would not only pollute the healthy journalism but would also jeopardise the lives of thousands of genuine journalists who are engaged in reporting. Please act before it is too late.
