LETTERS TO EDITOR:
Negative journalists
Sir: In his letter ‘Confessions of a negative journalist' (Daily Times, August 1) Mr MB Naqvi has mentioned myself having “negotiated” some terms for his assignment with Radio Pakistan during the ZA Bhutto administration. I hate to contradict him but what he says does not accord with my recollections of the event.
