Senior journalist and columnist, Hamid Mir, has made an apology for what he said against Pakistan Army at a demonstration rally conducted against the violence on journalist Asad Toor previous month.
Mir formally offered the apology to a special committee formed by the Rawalpindi Islamabad Union of Journalists (RIUJ) and the National Press Club (NPC) Islamabad to inquire the claims leveled by the expert journalist.
He clarified to the committee, involving last President Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ), Afzal Butt, President RIUJ, Amir Sajjad Syed, and President NPC, Shakeel Anjum, that it wasn’t his intention insult the Pakistan Army but got carried away after speeches from associated reporters.
