History

He suffered many hardships and was put behind the bars due to some clashes with the government for some time. The newspaper was then handed over to Mujeeb ur Rehman Shami. Prior to taking over Daily Pakistan, he was Editor-in-Chief of the Weekly Zindagi, Lahore. Mujeeb also served as president, Council of Pakistan Newspaper Editors (CPNE) in 2002.[https://www.dawn.com/news/47625 (Council of Pakistan Newspapers Editors) CPNE meets secretary information] Dawn newspaper, Published 13 July 2002, Retrieved 17 January 2024
