Police arrived at the Jang printing press on Monday and tried to stop the printing and distribution of a special supplement of the group’s evening paper, ‘Awam’, on the current emergency situation. Jang Editor Mehmood Sham said some Sindh Information Department officers asked press workers to stop the printing of the supplement. Sham said that Awam’s editor, Nazir Leghari, tried to convince the officers that they had printed such supplements on several occasions in the past. However, Sham added the authorities warned them that if they did not comply the printing press would be sealed. PID Director Aziz Memon told Daily Times that there had been some “confusion”, but matters were now resolved. |
