“We demand an immediate arrest of the culprits involved in the murder of the journalist”, Irfan Saeed, the President BUJ said. He said the Sindh government has failed to protect the lives of the journalists.
The journalists chanted full-throated slogans against the police and Sindh government for their failure to arrest the culprits involved in the murder. “This is shocking news, government should bring the perpetrators to book”, Saleem Shahid, the Senior Vice-President PFUJ demanded.
