KARACHI: The funeral prayers of Imran Aslam, the president of Geo and Jang Group, will be offered today afternoon in Karachi.The veteran journalist and a man with multiple talents passed away.
Never didactic, the journalist's discourse was characterised by humility and wit. While fiercely patriotic, he refused to give into a flag-waving culture to prove himself.
It would be hard to find a more unassuming ‘president’ of anything. No imposing office for the lanky Imran Aslam, president of Geo TV and Jang Group. His perch was a little cubicle on.
Imran’s gentle aristocratic bearing contained not a hint of elitism or classism as any number of reporters, sub-editors, office guards and others would testify, writes Beena Sarwar
