Parvez Jamil, HoD and Faculty Advisor, Public Affairs, while conceptualizing the theme of "I Owe Pakistan", revealed a handful of less-heard media professionals who quietly and selflessly worked behind the scenes to produce leading media brands and celebrities of Pakistan.
He also referred to a few silent, selfless and sacrificing models of peaceful co-existence with conflicting views and interests endeavoring for self-help and self-reliance rather than aid addiction and crippling independence.
Though upholding constructive criticism as important, he strongly advocated preferring to attribute sincere practical doers over blind and die-hard criticism.-PR
