Imran Khan, former Prime Minister (PM) and Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has announced that his government will establish a journalism university in Punjab in Arshad Sharif’s honour.
This announcement was made during his speech to citizens taking part in the PTI’s long march in Lahore.
He went on to say that the institute would be known as the Arshad Sharif Shaheed University of Journalism (ASSUJ). Furthermore, the PTI’s ‘Haqeeqi Azadi’ long march was dedicated to Arshad and the media industry.
It is important to note that Arshad Sharif was assassinated near Nairobi, Kenya, because of an alleged case of “mistaken identity” on the part of Kenyan Police.
Following this, local and international organizations, including Reporters Sans Frontières – Reporters Without Borders (RSF), rejected Kenyan Police’s alleged assertions about the murder of the well-known Pakistani journalist.
