The CPNE strongly condemned on Friday the Ravi Urban Development Authority’s (RUDA) controversial allocation of plots to the journalists.
Expressing a vehement protest and signaling an intention to pursue legal action against those manipulating the affairs of the capital.
Labelling the Ruda land allocation as "unfair distribution," the CPNE criticised the process for lacking a fair lottery system, instead relying on selective choices made by journalists.
This method, seemingly favoring specific individuals under the guise of journalistic recognition, is deemed successful but questionable by the CPNE, with many journalists falling short of RUDA's criteria.
It is highlighted that a significant number of journalists granted plots by RUDA have little or no connection to journalism.
Journalists from state media, dedicated to their profession, are arbitrarily excluded, causing confusion and resentment.
Some speculate whether personal biases or grudges against journalists from private channels or newspapers are influencing these decisions.
The CPNE emphasized the disparity in treatment, noting that government media journalists, despite their contributions and higher salaries, are overlooked.
Government journalists voice a strong protest and commit to seeking justice through institutional channels.
The involvement of RUDA officers and employees in questionable activities during the allocation process is underscored, by the evidence presented in the recently released list. The CPNE asserted that these actions raise serious concerns and demand accountability.
