LAHORE: Former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) chief Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain on Monday called for Jang Geo Media Group Editor-in-Chief Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman’s (MSR) release on bail.
In a statement, Shujaat said MSR should be released on bail keeping in mind the services of his institution for the country and its people.Talking about the upcoming cabinet meeting, he said the allegations against MSR should be weighed against the services that Jang Geo Media Group had rendered for Pakistan. “The cabinet will find that the services of the media group for Pakistan are far greater than the allegations against it,” he added.
The PML-Q chief said it was against the principles of humanity that on the one hand, Geo, Jang, and The News were providing masses with news and all the latest updates regarding the coronavirus, but on the other hand, MSR’s physical remand was being sought.
He said despite MSR’s arrest, Roznama Jang, The News and Geo were covering all the latest news and updates regarding coronavirus. “This is evidence of MSR and his father Mir Khalil-ur-Rahman’s loyalty towards the country,” he said.
