Islamabad (Staff Reporter)

The Rawalpindi-Islamabad Union of Journalists (RIUJ), led by President Tariq Usmani, General Secretary Rizwan Ghazali, and the Executive Council, strongly condemned the harassment and intimidation of the widow of late anchor Arshad Sharif and senior journalist Javeria Siddiq by unknown elements outside their residence.

The union demanded that Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, Inspector General of Police Islamabad, and other law enforcement agencies identify and bring to justice those responsible, and provide full protection to Javeria Siddiq and her family.

Tariq Usmani, Rizwan Ghazali, and the Executive Council emphasized that Javeria Siddiq is still grieving the tragic loss of her husband and that harassing her further is equivalent to adding mental stress. They urged the government and law enforcement authorities to ensure her safety and conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.
