केन्या में पाकिस्तानी पत्रकार की कार पर फायरिंग; सिर में गोली लगने से सहाफी की मौत (Zee News Hindi)

इस्लामाबादः एक वरिष्ठ पाकिस्तानी पत्रकार (Pakistani journalist ) की केन्या में गोली मारकर हत्या कर दी गई है. पत्रकार की पत्नी ने सोमवार को यह जानकारी दी है. अरशद शरीफ (Arshad Sharif) ने कई वर्षों तक पाकिस्तान में एआरवाई न्यूज (ARY News) के लिए प्राइम टाइम टेलीविजन न्यूज शो होस्ट के रूप में काम किया था और हाल ही में अपनी जान को खतरा होने का हवाला देते हुए देश छोड़कर चले गए थे. हालांकि यह स्पष्ट नहीं हो पाया है कि वह केन्या कब पहुंचे थे.

प्रधानमंत्री शहबाज शरीफ ने ट्विटर पर कहा, “पत्रकार अरशद शरीफ की दुखद मौत की चौंकाने वाली खबर से मुझे गहरा दुख हुआ है.“ पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री इमरान खान ने भी मौत की निंदा की और कहा कि शरीफ की हत्या उनके पत्रकारिता के काम के लिए की गई है. साक्षात्कार में गिल ने देश की शक्तिशाली सेना के खिलाफ खान को खड़ा करने की कोशिश करने के लिए शहबाज शरीफ सरकार की आलोचना की थी. अरशद शरीफ की बीवी जावेरिया सिद्दीकी ने सोमवार को ट्विटर पर उनके निधन की खबर की तस्दीक की है. गौरतलब है कि अगस्त में अरशद शरीफ पर प्रधानमंत्री इमरान खान के करीबी सहयोगी शहबाज गिल का साक्षात्कार करने को लेकर देशद्रोह का मामला दर्ज किया गया था. पाकिस्तान में इस साल की शुरुआत में देश की सुरक्षा एजेंसियों ने इस पत्रकार पर देशद्रोह और राष्ट्र विरोधी विमर्श छेड़ने का इल्जाम लगाया था. पत्रकार की पत्नी ने सोमवार को यह जानकारी दी है.
