Appeal: Imran asks people to boycott Jang Group
Says that Mubashar Lucman, the famous TV anchor, has become the victim of this corrupt system
LAHORE:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has asked the people to boycott Jang Group until Mir Shakilur Rahman leaves the group. While addressing the public gathering in Nankana Sahib, Imran said that no owner of any media house should be allowed to use journalists for their personal gains.
He said that Mubashar Lucman, the famous TV anchor, has become the victim of this corrupt system. He disclosed the asset details of Nawaz Sharif on TV and also brought to light the wrongdoings of Mir Shakil, after which they are trying to victimise the anchor-person.
“Lucman brought the scandals of the powerful men to light and that is why he is going through the courts — it is shameful,” said Imran.
PTI chairman said that government, intelligence bureau and Mir Shakil are carrying out investigations against Lucman. He said PTI wants the judiciary to set a precedent by awarding punishment to the influential people too.
