PFUJ criticizes govt move against Dawn |
| |
The Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) has criticized the government’s move of stopping advertisements to daily Dawn in order to ‘punish the paper’ for its independent editorial policy. The PFUJ, in a statement on Wednesday, said that on the one hand the government had failed to ensure implementation of the wage award, on the other, it had blocked advertisements to a newspaper just because it had been critical of its policies.

BBC dumped TV serial on Bhutto’s execution in 80s: author |
| |
The circumstances leading to the overthrow, trial and execution of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, it seems, were too hot even in mid-1980s for even the BBC, as a three-part TV serial based on the story was abandoned at the rehearsal stage by the broadcaster ostensibly on the advice of their lawyers. Tariq Ali, who was commissioned by the BBC to write the TV serial in 1985, has now published the play in the book form titled ‘The Leopard and the Fox’.
