Former Prime Minister Imran Khan while addressing his long March said that he will build a memorial University for journalism in Punjab, Pakistan. The Journalism University will be named after the martyred journalist Arshad Sharif.
Arshad Sharif was a renowned Pakistani journalist and anchor who was assassinated by the Kenyan police on 23rd October 2022. Arshad was working on a Netflix series “Behind Closed Doors” to expose the network of corrupt governments and politicians across the world.
The fallen journalist was popular for conducting true investigative journalism and he had to leave Pakistan because authorities were after him due to his freedom of expression. Unfortunately, despite leaving Pakistan, he became a soft target of those who wanted to suppress his voice.
