CPNE calls for Qalander’s immediate recovery

KARACHI: Council of Pakistan Newspaper Editors (CPNE) President Syed Faseih Iqbal and Secretary General Wamiq Zuberi condemned failure of the government and law-enforcement agencies to recover kidnapped Sohail Qalander, resident editor, daily Express, Peshawar.

Despite a lapse of over six weeks and identification of the area where Qalander is held in captivity the government has failed to recover kidnapped journalist.

Citing past incidents where political administration promptly recovered abducted persons, they called upon NWFP Governor Lieutenant General Ali Muhammad Jan Aurakzai (Retd), who directly administers tribal areas to make sincere and real efforts to free Qalander from illegal confinement immediately.
