JUI-F Chief Maulana Fazl-ur-Rahman supports Journalists’ demands!

KARACHI: Karachi Press Club (KPC) was the venue where journalists continued their protest against forced dismissal and non-payment of salaries.  

On this occasion, President Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman announced his support to the cause and urged the concerned quarters stop sacking the Media workers and pay them their dues. 

President Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) GM Jamali, while pointing towards the abject condition the dismissed journalists’ families were living in, strongly condemned the forced dismissals and non-payment of dues. He demanded the provincial and federal governments play their parts in forcing the Media Houses Owners to pay Media House Workers’ dues.
