SWAT: A Peshawar High Court (PHC) judge has expressed his displeasure over a newspaper owner’s influence on the Swat Press Club.
Justice Waqar Ahmad, who heads a bench, said that it was a matter of concern that some influential, who had nothing to do with journalism, were taking interest in the press club and its related matters.
The judge, who had earlier listened to the arguments, also directed the Swat Press Club authority to submit an explanation before the competent bench within two weeks.
“It is astonishing to hear, the Swat Press Club is being influenced by influential political parties, owners of newspapers, and other individuals who have nothing to do with journalism at all,” he said.
