(Pakdestiny.com) Another PML-N ‘tout’ journalist/anchor Mushtaq Minhas today took oath of a minister becoming the first ‘darbari journalist’ minister of Azad Kashmir Assembly’s history.
Nusrat Javed must be upset today seeing his co-anchor getting the reward for licking the boots of the Sharifs. It’s shameful for the journalist community that more and more from their community are licking the boots of one politician or another and getting reward in return.
There has been a long list of PML-N boot-lickers in journalist community who have been rewarded by the PML-N government of late. The list includes includes Attaul Haq Qasmi (PTV chairman), Irfan Sadiqui (adviser to the PM), Absar Alam (PEMRA chief), Najam Sethi of Geo (PCB de-facto chairman), Iftikhar Ahmed of Geo (Vice-Chairman PHA), Muhammad Malik (managing director PTV, recently his tenure expired, and now he is again looking for more favours from the Sharifs).
Mustaq Minhas who earlier was with Aaj and BoL media groups is latest addition to the list of tout PML-N journalists/anchors. These guys are openly taking favours and also practicing journalism… what a conflict of interest and matter of shame for our country’s journalism.
Although there are allegations that many journalists are covertly supporting PMLN and other political outfits and establishment but such journalists should take ‘some shame’ in accepting top portfolios from the PML-N government. -Pak Destiny
Before:
Irfan Siddiqui, an “independent” journalist, columnist in Jang
Najam Sethi, an “independent” journalist and a “neutral” caretaker CM Punjab
Absaar Aaalam, an “independent” anchor of a political talk show
Mushtaq Minhas, an “independent” talk show anchor
Now:
Irfan Siddiqui is an advisor to PM Nawaz Shareef
Najam Sethi, became chairman PCB, and still the de facto chief there
Absaar Aaalam, Chairman PEMRA !!
Mushtaq Minhas, PMLN candidate for an election!
All of them have at least one thing in common, they all are the worst critics of Imran Khan, and now you know why! They all should be now jailed to act as an independent opinion makers when they were not! This is PMLN’s politics for you people, so unethical so much dirty.
This is more proof that how deeply the status-quo have penetrated into the institutions, every institution but army is for sale, and they have a lot of black money to buy these scoundrels. Image how many of these are sitting in the EC and the higher judiciary and the bureaucracy.
IK need the support of the civil society and the independent media talk show anchors and owners, the people need to dismiss the propaganda by the status-quo against him.
federal government should not involve in kashmir politics but now nawaz sharif in sending his people by election. what’s next khalid sb?????

Why it is so difficult for your people to write a straight factual story? Why editorialize and show bias.
