Journalists throughout the country are condemning this act.
Attack on the President of the Karachi Press Club, Imtiaz Farhan by a local PTI leader is not only condemnable but not acceptable. He just followed Fawad Ch. because top leadership did not took any action. KPC and PFUJ must take the issue seriously.
