Pakistan Freelance Journalists Association (PFJA) has demanded of the
government to immediately withdraw the duty imposed on the import of
news-print.
In a press statement, Iqbal Yousafi, President PFJA, said this unjust
decision of the government will create great crisis for the news-print
industry. He said prices of books in syllabus will also increase.
The existing prices of newspapers are already out of common man's reach.
If duty on import of newsprint is increased the prices of newspapers will
also go up.
