Trust opens media front against SPLA

Talking to The Nation on Friday, President SPLA Karachi Region Prof Ather Hussain Mirza expressed serious concern over recent initiative of Zindagi Trust to influence the newspapers and urged the concerned chief editors to play their role in promotion of education in the province.

He said, “An old and largest Urdu newspaper did not publish the news of the press conference, held by SPLA on October 9 (Thursday), highlighting the educational issues and the condemnable activities of Zindagi Trust. The national newspapers bear responsibility to create awareness among the masses regarding all social issues. If the chief editors mete out preferential treatment they would commit professional dishonesty. The role of the newspapers should be positive in this regard”.
