Mr Kamran Khan [Senior Correspondent of Daily Jang/GEO/The News] is a very close friend of Sadruddin Hashwani [Owner of PC] hence the news in censored. I wonder how does Kamran Khan maintain/afford houses in Defence Society Phase 6 and another house in PECHS [RAZI ROAD] Karachi and both the localities are considered Posh and “Costly” residential quarters of Karachi. How many Senior Journalist can afford a sport car like Mr. Kamran Khan do? By the way Kamran Khan was also very “closed” to Brigadier Imtiaz [since the days Imtiaz was only a Colonel in Karachi].

You are right Mr Riaz Ahmed. This whole episode of workers’ strike against an oppressive management has been completely censored by Pakistani media. Our media is elitist, and its piety brigade of anchors and news reporters cannot think of working or speaking against their masters (media owners, capitalists) vital interests. So much for the freedom of speech and impartiality and objectivity of our ‘ferociously independent’ anchors!
