It is very sad indeed that the newspaper I put together literally piece by piece has fallen on such bad times!
I am greatly pained and I've told Salmaan so!
However, the new editor might set things right if he can but there are some problems that can only be set right by Salmaan!
Cheers!
Shah Rifat Alam.

Dear Asher,
It is really sad that such things are still happening in Media. I don't know why journalists associations are not raising their voice. As all issues are being discussed but why our journalists associations and press club governing body is not taking this issue seriously to resolve this issue.
Cheers!

Dear Mr Kenneth,
It's true that we at Daily Times and Aaj Kal are not getting our salaries on time as it used to be until a year ago but we are pretty hopeful that the situation will improve by the grace of God.
There are several organisations--both in print and electronic media-- where employees are not being paid even 50% of their salaries. And this has been going on before the financial slowdown!
Being paid on time is important, but a truly congenial working environment and opportunities for all make DT stand out among all media organisations.This is the reason why the DT team is weathering the storm despite the financial crisis.

Dear All,
Yesterday I got to know that, the staff of the Daily Times and AAJ KAL have received 50% salaries and that too after a month's lapse. This is yet another stunning "innovation" made by the Taseers.

Mr Sethi has a typical bourgeois mindset and handled the DT/Aajkal
staff in exremely discriminatory fashion. it seemed if he had come to
this world to protect the people of his 'class'. No doubt Mr Sethi's
steps in the organization were unbecoming of a professional
journalist. he has a charismatic personality and can improve his human
rights record.

Dear Friends,
You should know the facts: I resigned from Daily Times as Editor and from Media Times (which owns Daily Times) as Director on 11 October 2009 after six months of fighting with the management over employee rights, including salaries and increments and downsizing. I was accused by the Chief Financial Officer of taking the side of employees and "bleeding the paper". This is known to the staff. My senior colleagues Khaled Ahmed, Ejaz Haider and Ata Musawwir and Qasim Nauman have also resigned to back up my position. What more can we say?
Najam Sethi

Dear All
This is the least we can expect from a 'working editor' of the calliber of Najam Seithi Sahib and I persnoally believe that he has done his part. We should appreciate his strong gesture. But Najam Sahib must remember the same event of Hussain Naqi Sahib which he done in Daily The News in early 90's and its 'outcome'.
We must discuss on such forums whether such moves can be done in isolation or after taking whole staff into confidence so that journalists can follow up those elements who are always their to remove such pressures from management by offering their shoulders?
Anyway, well done Seithi Sahib.
