Deeply shocked to learn that Arif Nizami is no more & with him an era of old school journalism has come to an end. As a journalist, editor & anchor, he was second to none. May Allah rest his soul in peace!

Devastated that old friend,colleague and pillar of Pakistani journalism,Arif Nizami has passed away. His passing symbolises the end of an era! He was from an old guard who sacrificed for principles and never shied from telling bald truths to power. Heart goes out to his family 💔
