Saleem Safi says his column not published due to censorship
Saleem Safi, a columnist for Daily Jang, reported that his recent column was not published due to censorship. He announced that the content will be available on his YouTube channel.

ISLAMABAD – Saleem Safi, an analyst, and columnist associated with Jang Group, has complained that a column he wrote for Daily Jang was not published.

In a tweet, he said: "My column titled 'Psychological Analysis of Imran Khan's Personality' could not be published in today's daily Jang due to media censorship."

His tweet received mixed responses from social media users as several followers raised questions about his abilities to analyze someone's personality psychologically. According to some users, it is only a publicity stunt.

In October 2018, Safi had also claimed that Jang refused to publish his column on Twitter. However, he later withdrew the tweet.
