What prompted such generosity may I ask?Recommend
Pakistan does not need any ENEMY. Own people are looting. SHAME -Recommend
No matter, they soled their opinion. We have sold our sovereignty by allowing Drone attacks, our people, our policies,our honour for some dollars Recommend
It would be real helpful to learn business affiliation of these journalists. That will help us get a better picture.Recommend
to be honest, i think we have become no less than the scums of the earth.
people easily point out the wrongdoings of zardari and so……..but i don’t blame him solely…….every person at every level in their own capacity are crooked some way or the other.
apart from the international embarrassment pakistan faces, our society within is a farce and shame.Recommend
I noticed M.Ziauddin’s name there…isn’t he the Executive Editor of the Express Tribune? And Rauf Klasra is writing this piece…hmmm…either that’s bold, or there’s more to this…Recommend
one thing every one is missing here ….
The names of journalists who were given plots against PAYMENTS it was not given to them free of cost
Recommend
Klasra is recycling his “News” stories for “Express” … should we call it green journalism? Afterall it’s about recycling the used materialRecommend
i think is nothing illegal in the allotment of plots to journalists. The impression given in the headline is false and even the text of the news report does not support it. I think what Rauf Klasra has produced is not more than the rubbish. The story says plots were given to journalists after payment and after due process of verification. Then what is wrong!!!! (Awais)Recommend
Journalists have their quota and they PAID for these plots. Everyone buys a plot to have their own residence, and it is not necessary that they do them a favor in return. Recommend
The above list contains many who pose themselves holier than everyone, being the self-proclaimed icons of piety, the marbingers and torch bearers of goodness and propriety. But in reality they are a voracious lot, going out of their way for every piece of morsel they can lay their grubby hands own. They are not intellectuals on ivory towers, rather they are more close to infra-human predators reeking of venalityt to the core. Recommend
Yes, as some have said there is nothing inherently wrong with being allotted a plot. It is paid for and the allotees will continue to pay “development charges”.
The price of the plot may however be subsidized (below market value). By how much one cannot tell as it would vary by location –with corner plots being the most valuable. Recommend
How many among them are working for Sindhi , Pashto, Balochi, Panjabi and Seraiki print or electronic media ?Recommend
There is NO justification on getting subsidized rate plot. This evetual leads to nepotism and corruption. What holy duty these journalist are performing that justfies this state patronage?
Why tax payers money is used on gracious gesture?Recommend
For this reason alone they want to have democratic governments.I wonder under what law plots are being doled out.Recommend
So these are pious journalists of our poor country.Am a government servant but govt is not willing to give me any thingRecommend
shame on all….Recommend
No one is above the law. There can’t be any justification for that. All of those who r involved in any corruption should be behind the bars. Army should not excluded Recommend
Lagey Raho Munna Bhai “,All that we have in Pakistan is for the ruling elite whether they belong to politicians,bureaucracy,military janta or now the journalists except for the masses of the country.Recommend
Thanks Rouf klasra.Recommend
