London: Lord Nazir Ahmed of Rotherham has strongly condemned an assassination attempt on Hamid Mir, a prominent Pakistani journalist and television show host.
Mr. Mir’s escaped the attempt on November when his security guard noticed a presence of bomb beneath his vehicle.
Lord Ahmed said “This is not only an attack on the freedom of press and freedom of expression, but also an attack on the basic beliefs of all Pakistanis of the sanctity of life” .
Lord Ahmed who is also a close friend of Mr Mir said “Hamid Mir is a brave journalist who has always striven to represent the weak, oppressed, and the poor. He has championed for missing persons and women rights in Pakistan. He is one of the few journalists who ventures in to danger zones. He frequently risks his own life to give people, who might otherwise have been overlooked, an opportunity to express their views.”
“I am proud of Hamid as he has always reported fairly, accurately, and in a balanced manner. Any attempt on his life is a cowardly attempt to silence his voice.” Said Lord Ahmed
