Salman Iqbal
Due to his mistrust of the current coalition government, Salman Iqbal, CEO of ARY News, declined to go back to Pakistan to assist in the inquiry into the death of renowned investigative journalist Arshad Sharif.
Salman Iqbal claimed he doesn’t believe any “independent” committee looking into Arshad Sharif’s murder in a statement posted on social media. However, he stated that he would be happy to respond to any inquiries made in this regard.
I do not feel that the investigation being conducted by the current PMLN government is independent, but I would respond to any inquiries, he stated.
Salman Iqbal demanded an inquiry by way of a United Nations panel. “I am calling for impartial research overseen by the UN Human Rights workplace, and I’m able to of the route offer my full cooperation to one of these research searching to get to the entire reality at the back of the killing of Arshad Sharif a good way to bringing the ones responsible to justice,” he said within the statement.
Arshad’s existence changed into legitimately threatened, consistent with the ARY CEO, who asked for government protection. He claimed that in place of getting help, he became targeted and concerned of severa FIRs, arrest orders, and sedition prosecutions. The journalist had to determine to depart Pakistan due to those situations, he claimed.
Salman Iqbal said that the unjustified attacks on him and the persecution of journalists by the PMLN administration have him worried about his safety. He claimed that for the preceding six months, he had been unable to return to Pakistan.
The interior minister’s recent, outrageous accusations against me about the murder of Arshad are a continuation of this campaign, he said.
Let me state unequivocally that I had no part in the heinous conduct committed upon my brother.
