New Delhi, Feb 9 : A one-man commission constituted by the Pakistani Supreme Court in 2019 to oversee implementation of its judgement on minority rights has in its report submitted last week revealed a shocking state of some of the most revered Hindu sites in the country.
The Shoaib Suddle Commission told the highest appellate court of the country that the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) has failed to maintain most of the ancient and holy sites of the minority community. Headquartered in Lahore, ETPB was established in 1960 to look after the evacuee trust properties/land left over by the Sikh/Hindus who migrated to India during partition in 1947-48.

Jake Tapper at Daniel Pearl Lecture: Press Must Stand as âLighthouse in a Fogâ
In this era of conspiracy rumors and lies in high places âthe journalist must stand as the lighthouse in a fog,â declared Jake Tapper, one of the countryâs most influential reporters as chief of the CNN Washington bureau.
Tapper returned to the theme of journalistic integrity frequently as he delivered the annual Daniel Pearl Memorial Lecture not, as customary, before a live and involved audience at UCLA but via Zoom to more than a thousand listeners nationwide.
âThe journalist must not be valueless,â Tapper continued. âHe must stand up for honesty. Thatâs what Danny Pearl stood for.â
