Newspaper owners, workers told to end row
ISLAMABAD- The chairman Wage Board, Justice Raja Afrasiab Khan, has urged the newspaper owners and workers to end their differences through dialogue in their personal and national interest.
In a statement, he opined, it is not an issue, which has no acceptable solution. He urged the both parties to corporate with each other and to realise their problems seriously.
Justice Afrasiab said this while commenting on proposed meetings called by various organisations of All Pakistan Newspapers Society (APNS) and newspapers worker unions, simultaneously in Karachi and Islamabad in favour of their stand in which there are chances of conflict between the two groups.
He said, any practical dispute can in fact cause severe loss to the country’s fourth pillar and added, in this tense situation, he feels himself severely distressed.
Justice Afrasiab said, the owners and workers are just like as two wheels of a vehicle and it can only move forward if both the wheels work properly.
