Summary

ISLAMABAD—Sanaullah Khan (pictured), senior reporter at the Dawn Media Group, has issued a public apology after mistakenly naming journalist Fahd Husain in his vlog regarding residents of Islamabad's Minister's Enclave.

"In yesterday's vlog, I shared information about people residing in the Minister's Enclave. It was a long list and I wrongly named Fahd Haroon, a SAPM occupying House No. 32, as Fahd Husain," Khan clarified.

Fahd Husain, who previously served as Special Assistant to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for nearly a year, has never lived in the Minister’s Enclave. “It is unfortunate that in our country, everything seems to be given a political color. As journalists, we have no political ambitions,” Khan added, emphasizing that Fahd never held any such accommodation.

Fahd, now associated with Express Media Group, shared the clarification video on Twitter, stating, “I have never used an official residence. Ever. @SanaullahDawn has clarified below that he has not mentioned me but someone else. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
