All the CEC members and office-bearers, including party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and co-chairman President Asif Zardari, were unanimous in their appreciation of the report. The newspaper management, which has already initiated disciplinary proceedings against the concerned errant staff member, expresses its profound sense of anguish and dismay over the publication of the said news item.
