KARACHI: The Sindh government has imposed a 30-day ban on five Urdu daily newspapers of Karachi for publishing nude photos and âvulgarâ stories, a spokesman of the Information Department said in a press released on Wednesday. The banned dailies are: Morning Special, Evening Special, Mid Special, Daily Special and Zamana.
| Isn't that... ummm... Special? I'm impressed. Pak newspapers publishing nekkid pictures? Sounds like taking one's life into one's own hands. Though I'd guess the Pak definition of "nekkid" is pretty fluid... |
| "The brazen hussy! Lookidat ankle!" |
The spokesman said the banned newspapers not only tarnished the image of the local press but also promoted immorality in society through nude pictures.
| I guess T&A will do that, especially if there's a high incidence of turbans in the vicinity... |
Police raided the offices of these newspapers and their printing presses on Tuesday and arrested the editorial and technical staff. Some of these newspapers had already been banned during the tenure of former governor Muhammadmian Soomro. They were restored after an undertaking of their publishers that they would no longer publish any vulgar material. |
