A joint statement said the Corruption touching peak in PTV. May face PIA like situation. MrChief Justice Please take Suo Moto
Turmoil like PIA is surfacing in PTV which is also one of the most important organization, being run through public money in shape of Rs 35 per month on account of license fee, which is the only major earning source of PTV.
Since the joining of Yousuf Baig Mirza as MD PTV both financial and moral corruption is on the rise and touching new heights.
he is damaging PTV ,s structure as he had been working with private sector networks, and there are evidences that he is just damaging this professional institution on the instructions of his private sector bosses, who are seen visiting him at PTV headquarter.
Particularly owner of Dunya TV and Geo, who is more interested in cricket world cup revenue.
He has been hired on highest ever pay package of Rs 1200000/=, with the additional 3% on earning of advertisement revenue which is again un thinkable as if he is been hired on hefty pay package then why this 3%
PTV is suffering huge loses since 1997 the year of his joining. He and Arshad Khan so called professional CEO of PTV has ruined this national institution during the last decade, but have minted money for themselves.
Since his taking over as MD PTV, he has hired around 400 people in sheer violation of PTV rules and Court directions given on various occasion.
Yousuf baig Mirza, commonly known as YBM as famous for both moral and financial corruption. If his name is goggled one can see dozens of pages elaborating his corruption during the period of dictator Pervez Musharaf , here is the links bellow for the benefits of readers.
Even he sexually harassed one anchor Maheen Usmanai at Duniya TV she knocked doors every who have helping her but she had all the backing of owner of Duniya News including Nasim Zehra a tout of Khakeez.
Reportedly he has paid 3 crore to the son of Prime Minster with monthly commitment as well.
He has also committed to pay FAISAL Raza Abdi from the earnings from world Cup and award of contract for ATV and Proposed English Channel.
The hired persons are those who even have been rejected or terminated from the private sector channels on a bad performance or on moral corruption here some.
At the time of his fresh appointment there were several enquiries pending against him that included massive corruption in purchase of third grade equipment for Chaghi Studio, which is still in progress,. Soon after taking over he has cleared himself from the corruption he had committed in election 2008, an reconstituted enquiry committee on financial scam of agreement with international sport channel for ICC Cricket cup 2011.
So much so his partner in corruption since 1997 M r Fakher Hameed was promoted as director from back date. Both remained partners in sex and financial scandals.
Now he has the services of another pimp Mr Kazim Ali kahn who, back ground will be elaborated latter.
He is now trying to please regular employees so that they give him some relief by not going to court as they had been to the high court a year ago and got relief against some contract employees but YBM is ignoring these court decisions.
He has also made partner another corrupt Mr Sawrwar Munir Rao, who is now trying to get extension after reaching age of superannuation. Mr rao has got appointed dozens of his relatives in PTV through illegal means and making money through them.
He has given huge salary jumps to several contract employees ranging from Rs 150000/= to 200000/=
If Record of appointments from January 2008 till date is confiscated, huge corruption would be unearthed.
All new appointments that have been made are sheer in violation of PTV and Government rules, provincial quotas. And age limits.
Sadia Afzal
She is the lady who has been hired on package of Rs. 360000/- with facility to stay at home as she heave been hired just as show piece. However since her joining in December she anchored only one programme that was of Prime minister online, so one can understand why she has been appointed on such a huge Package
Marryam Qazi
Another show piece just attract relations with those who matter or could bail YBM out of hot water. She did MBA a year ago, but having without any marketing experience, she has been hired on a package of Rs 200000.

Before joining Business Plus he had a job in Urdu eveninger reportedly he used to run call girls den. He has been hired on package of around Rs 300000/=
Here in PTV he is just acting For YBM with no assignment at all. Recently he was planted at meeting of journalists at MQM head quarter 90 on the behest of Faisal Raza Abdi, for spying for him.

However he is appointed as coordinator News and current affairs on huge package of 360000/= with the facility of petrol and 6000 calls. One can see his performance on air as anchoring with no knowledge of issues and language.
It is astonishing that if YBM so professional then why he is time and again coming to PTV and ruining the state run TV which has huge potential and can do much better, if its own trained professional are properly given chance and room to work.
It is hard fact that when ever its own professionals have tried to perform, hurdales are created; just to hire from out side
