I, S Abbasy authorised issuance of Shahzad’s press accreditation in the face of stiff opposition.
ISLAMABAD: Bravo, Kamran Shafi, (“The pox is on everything”, January 13) for speaking up. It was my privilege to have authorised issuance of Saleem Shahzad’s press accreditation in the face of stiff opposition from the Deep State’s media managers in 2000-01. Even at that time they avoided putting their strong views in writing that could be traced back to them. Saleem, God bless his brave soul, thought I was the bold one.
S Abbasy
