ARY CEO Salman Iqbal issues presser

President and CEO ARY Digital Network Mr Salman Iqbal has called for an independent investigation overseen by the UN Human Rights Office into the slain senior journalist Arshad Sharif.

Mr Salman Iqbal issued his statement on Twitter after Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah levelled baseless allegations against him during his press conference today.

He said, “No words can express how shocked and heartbroken I am by the brutal killing of my brother Arshad Sharif. Arshad’s death is an immense loss to all of Pakistan and to journalism globally. My thoughts are with his family and all those who are mourning him. Since the beginning of my career, I have always done my utmost to protect my people, and they can vouch for this.”
