Eminent columnists participated in an interactive session with the students of Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) and urged them to uphold the national cause and good moral practices in their practical life.

The session was arranged by the University’s Department of Mass Communication, enabling its students to learn from the experience and achievements of their seniors.

The columnists including Haroon Rashid, Izharul Haq, Mansoor Afaq and Rana Mahboob asserted that journalists should uphold professional standards in performing their duties. They should have a firm belief in Allah Almighty for getting reward of their hard work and contributions to the national cause.

While welcoming the columnists, AIOU Vice Chancellor Professor Dr Shahid Siddiqui said that AIOU has been providing opportunities to its faculty and students to meet eminent people from various walks of life and to learn from their work.

He paid rich tributes to Haroon Rashid, stating, “Haroon has done the best in promoting good journalistic practices.”
