New PTV chief accused of nepotism

They alleged that Dr. Shahid Masood is blatantly using PTV resources in his campaign in defiance of the government. The sources further said that PTV chief has given a charter worth Rs 700 million to union leaders and then showed them raising slogans in his favour. He abruptly decided to grant a pay package to the union worth Rs 700 million although the finance and sales directors had refused to oblige due to lack of funds and possible huge budget deficit.

But, Dr Masood told them that he would get it compensated by ending overtime of workers, stopping medical facility and cutting programme expenses. He did the same on 19 July when PM came to deliver his speech.

They said that Dr. Shahid Masood was also repeatedly showing promo of ‘Meray Mutabaq’ taken from GEO on PTV violating the official policy.
