| Dear All, It is indeed very unfortunate that a young journalist has committed suicide due to salary issue. I do agree to some of the observations made by Mr. Aslam Butt but some of his comments are questionable. I would not comment on the papers named in the message and linked to exploitation because it amounts to exceeding mandate. But, I must clarify that exploitation is not part of the policy of Pakistan Observer, the oldest daily from the Capital city. As far as the death of Mujtaba Akhtar is concerned, it must be put on the record that no such person has ever served in the Pakistan Observer, a fact which can be verified from those serving in this paper since long. Salaries are given in time in Observer while to non-payment of salaries is an accusation which holds no water. Some papers may be giving commission to get business but Pakistan Observer is one of the most reputed papers where underhand deals are strictly prohibited. I will request journalist fraternity to verify facts before releasing them on social media for the sake of their own reputation. Yours, Najmul Islam News Editor Pakistan Observer |
Tariq Khattak.
