Swat: More than 40 journalists, including 20 members of the Press Club, have filed a writ petition in the Mingora Bench of the Peshawar High Court against the occupation of Swat Press Club and closing of the club’s doors on working journalists.
Barrister Asadur Rehman, while appealing to a division bench comprising Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim and Justice Waqar Ahmed, said that these journalists wanted to present their position as a regular party in the Press Club case. He told the apex court that his clients were of the view that the Swat Press Club had been occupied by politicians and the occupation mafia for many years.

ISLAMABAD: In what appears to be an attempt to revive the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz president Shehbaz Sharif on Monday hosted a dinner reception for all mainstream opposition parties.
However, the effort apparently aimed at bringing the Pakistan Peoples Party back to the multiparty alliance remained ineffective as PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari did not attend the dinner though senior leaders of his party did.
It was learnt that the PDM formally called a meeting of the heads of all opposition parties on Tuesday (today) without inviting the PPP to it.
