Karachi, (PR) : Council of Pakistan Newspaper Editors (CPNE) has condemned the killing of TV channel “Awaz News” reporter Bachal Ghunio in Ghotki by unknown persons and termed it a failure of law and order in Sindh province.
CPNE President Irshad Ahmed Arif, Senior Vice President Anwar Sajdi, Secretary General Ijazul Haq and Vice President Sindh Amir Mehmood in a joint statement expressed their regret over the killing of journalist and declared it a failure of a law enforcement agency in Sindh.
They further added that the non-state elements in the Kachcha region are openly challenging the government’s writ by creating a state within the state with the force of arms, and no one is going to stop them. Due to this, their morale became stronger, which resulted in the killing of Bachal Ghunio.
On this occasion, they demanded from the Sindh government, Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah and IG Sindh to arrest the killers of Bachal Ghunio and the journalists who were killed earlier and bring them to justice and punish them according to law. .
