PTV chairman 'approach' stuns PPP leaders

When Dr Shahid received applications for appointments from Sindh, he plainly said that no Sindhi would be appointed in the PTV, especially from Larkana. He ignored the request to air Aansa Bakhtawar’s footage showing her receiving a prestigious award for Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto in France. This footage was repeatedly aired on private TV networks throughout the day but the PTV showed only a brief part of it in its news bulletin.

It is worth mentioning here that Abdullah Kadwani hosted a dinner in the honour Dr Shahid Masood in which President Pervez Musharraf also participated along with the Governor Sindh but the Chief Minister boycotted the dinner when he was informed that President was attending the dinner.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Shahid Masood said he was considering himself the chief guest before President Musharraf’s arrival. “After President’s arrival I am no more the chief guest as the President is the chief guest now.” He paid rich tributes to Gen. Musharraf for his “achievements” and did not speak a single word about Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto’s struggle and sacrifices for the country.
