Proposed merge with Pakistan Herald Publications

Article about the same company. This one just uses the trade name of Pakistan Herald Publications, i.e., Dawn Media Group. Content can be easily merged here (most is just repetition). No point of having two articles about the same company. Gotitbro (talk) 18:06, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Since I don't see any opposition I am going to merge the articles along with Dawn Group of Newspapers as they are essentially the same. Gotitbro (talk) 17:03, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have merged the articles here. Gotitbro (talk) 21:46, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is requested that an edit be made to this article that this user does not want to make directly because of a conflict of interest.

The second paragraph of the introduction states, "The group is headed by the Pakistani media mogul Hameed Haroon, its current CEO. His son, Masood Hameed Haroon, was found dead in his car by the police in Karachi in 2015." This is erroneous on two counts:

1) The person found dead by police in Karachi in 2015 was Masood Hamid (not Masood Hameed Haroon, as the article states).

2) Masood Hamid was a Director at the Dawn Media Group at the time of his death, but he was not related to the CEO, Hameed Haroon. The article states that he was Hameed Haroon's son, which is false.

More information on the demise of Masood Hamid, and his role in the Dawn Media Group, can be found here: https://www.dawn.com/news/1176553 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.163.104.235 (talk) 11:13, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@202.163.104.235: Thanks for this to attention. You're right, the text wasn't supported by the already given citations either (none mentioned Haroon). I have removed that incorrect info. Gotitbro (talk) 06:42, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The second paragraph of the introduction states, "The group is headed by the Pakistani media mogul Hameed Haroon, its current CEO and hobby Rapist." The term "hobby Rapist" should be removed. It is inaccurate and defamatory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.44.131.249 (talk) 16:39, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Accussing the security establishment of interfering in politics

Perhaps it's worth mentioning on either this article or the DAWN newspaper article that in 2018 Hameed Haroon accused the security establishment of interfering in politics, including in favour of former cricketer Imran Khan and his PTI party. Stating that DAWN was among newspapers that have faced censorship and intimidation ahead of the 25 July vote. This was stated in a BBC interview.

History of Pakistan

Pakistan's political history has been characterized by periods of democratic rule, military dictatorship, and political instability. After gaining independence in 1947, Pakistan adopted a parliamentary system of government, with the Muslim League as the dominant political party. However, political turmoil and power struggles led to the first military coup in 1958, marking the beginning of a pattern of military intervention in politics.

Throughout the decades that followed, Pakistan experienced alternating periods of civilian rule and military dictatorship. Military rulers such as Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Zia-ul-Haq, and Pervez Musharraf held power for significant durations, often citing the need for stability and national security.

Despite these periods of military rule, Pakistan has also seen democratic transitions and civilian governments, albeit with frequent interruptions. Political parties such as the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) have played prominent roles in Pakistan's democratic process, with leaders like Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto, and Nawaz Sharif shaping the country's political landscape.

However, challenges such as corruption, political violence, ethnic tensions, and weak institutional structures have hindered Pakistan's democratic progress. The judiciary, media, and civil society have often served as crucial checks and balances in the country's political system.

In recent years, Pakistan has witnessed efforts to strengthen democratic institutions and promote political stability, although the country continues to grapple with issues of governance, human rights, and civil-military relations. 121.52.154.58 (talk) 07:38, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
