Dear Sirs,

 

We have been approached by the Principal Information Officer, Press Information Department, Government of Pakistan, Islamabad vide letter dated July 27, 2010 regarding advertisements of banned organizations being published in some member publications.

 

We reproduce hereunder the text of the above letter for your information and record :

 

“ Hope you are in high spirits. May I take this opportunity to draw your kind attention towards media projection of one of the banned organizations namely Hazb-ul-Tahrir which was proscribed by the Ministry of Interior, Government of Pakistan in 2004 due to its anti state commotions.

 

As you know, the organization has re-emerged with a new enthusiasm recently, avowing to give impetus to its activities in coming days. Holding of press conferences at Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad in the recent past and an attempt to hold meeting at Islamabad Press Club by them on May 09, 2010 (foiled by Islamabad Police) are a fresh example to quote. HT go encouraged and published an anti-state advertisement in one of the leading national newspaper on May 16, 2010.

 

May I request you to kindly sensitize your members on the subject, please.”

 

 

Thanking you,

 

Yours faithfully,
