Author: Kamran Khamiso Khowaja

Journalists, Social activists, and workers of nationalist parties staged a demonstration outside Mirpur press club demanding arrest of people involved in the Murder of journalist Ajay Kumar Lalwani who was gunned down by two unknown assailants in Salehpat a few days ago.

During the protests Journalist Karim Dad Chandio, Intizar Khati, Irfan Khowaja, Darya Khan Zaor, and others said that reporting truth in Pakistan was always a perilous pursuit and the lives of journalists were at stake. They said that journalists across the country were being persecuted for writing and reporting the truth.

The protesting journalists demanded action against those involved in the cold-blooded murder of the Journalist.

According to a survey report issued by the Federation of Journalists last year, Pakistan is among five countries dangerous for practicing journalism, as 138 journalists have lost their lives in the line of duty during the past 30 years.
