Veteran journalist M. Ziauddin put on a ventilator

ISLAMABAD—Veteran journalist and former executive editor of The Express Tribune, M. Ziauddin, is in critical condition and has been put on a ventilator, his family said.

"Please Pray for my Nana. M. Ziauddin. He has been put on the ventilator. One of the last TRUE journalists in Pakistan," his grandson Asif Iqbal Faruqui tweeted.
