QUETTA: The Baloch Student Organisation-Azad (BSO-A) announced to ‘conditionally’ end its three-day long boycott of local and national dailies on Wednesday evening after receiving assurances from the Balochistan Editor Council and representatives of news channels that the province’s issues will be highlighted in their papers and convey their grievances to their respective headquarters.
The Quetta Press Club (QPC) facilitated the meeting between BSO-A spokesman Salam Sabir and local editors and bureau chiefs of the electronic media at QPC premises. The BSO-A expressed its reservations over the role of both local and national newspapers and TV channels, saying that the media either ignored Balochistan and their people or remained partial to the Balochis’ struggle.
The media representatives assured the BSO that they would consider the organisation’s ‘genuine grievances’ and would convey their sentiments to the high officials too. At this, the BSO-A announced the withdrawal of its boycott.
