Discrimination in selection for media award

Through your valued online paper, I would like to draw attention towards the discriminatory attitude of Regional Women Empowerment Project (RWEP) Chitral in selecting mediapersons for the Media Award 2008. Being a journalist, I strongly condemn this discrimination. The RWEP deliberately ignored two journalists and the Editors of Chitral Vision newspaper for the media award. The RWEP, a project of AKRSP Chitral, is also responsible for this discrimination. I request the RWEP and the AKRSP Chitral to reconsider the names of all newspaper editors.
Article 25 of the Constitution of Pakistan ensures that all citizens are equal before the law and are entitled to equal protection of law. There shall be no discrimination on the basis of sex, language and province.
Mr. Rahmat Aziz, Mr Zar Alam Khan Razakhel and Mr H. Rahman are the Editors of Chitral Vision and freelance journalists. The Media Award was for those Chitrali journalists, news editors and columnists associated with electronic and print media for the year 2008.
