Apropos a news item `Aslam Azhar remembered as bastion of progressive thought` published in Dawn Metropolitan`s February 8 issue, it was mistakenly written that Mr Azhar faced a difficult time during the government of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and that Ziaul Haq wanted him back in PTV. In fact, it was Mr Bhutto who had appointed Aslam Azhar as managing director PTV, a position from which Mr Azhar was removed by Ziaul Haq. In 1976 Aslam Azhar was transferred by Mr. Bhutto to head the State Film Authority and, as desired by him, was given the added task of setting up an Academy of Performing. The military ruler never wanted the late broadcaster back in PTV The error is regretted.
