Khawar Ghumman accuses journalists of double standards

ISLAMABAD -  Khawar Ghumman, bureau chief of Dunya News TV in Islamabad, is not happy with the journalists’ reaction to the arrest of PML-N leader Khawaja Saad Rafiq and his brother in a graft case, accusing them of having double standards.

In a tweet, he maintained that when the judiciary sent political analyst Dr. Shahid Masood to jail in a graft case, the journalists were happy and praised the judges. However, in the case of Saad and the Sharifs, they have started protesting.

“Our many media gladiators are seriously worried when NAB nabbed Khawaja brothers but too much happy over the arrest of @Shahidmasooddr. When judges send Dr behind the bars, they praised judiciary and in case of Sharifs and Khawajas they start crying and chest thumping.”
