Pakistan Federal Union of Journalist (PFUJ) on Friday constituted a three-member committee to probe the allegations of corruption against its members and other journalists.
PFUJ President Pervez Shaukat exercising his powers under the constitution of parent journalist body, announced the committee to be headed by its Secretary General Muhammad Amin Yousuf with APNEC Chairman Nasir Naqvi and senior journalist Nasir Zaidi as members. The committee will submit its report in the next meeting of the Federal Executive Council. A meeting of FEC was also called to discuss the present situation, problems facing working journalists and other related issues. PFUJ noted with concern that media and journalists were being maligned in the stand-off between the two institutions of the government.
Mean while the committee urged the Bharia Town and any other person having proof of corruption against any journalist to come up and provide the same to the PFUJ for an appropriate action.
Most of the anchors blamed for corruption are not the members of the PFUJ, maintains PFUJ.
