The KUJ president and the general secretary demanded the Express Group to restore the sacked employees. They also demanded the Geo News to immediately disburse the salary among journalists working in the group.

They said that if the demands put forward by the Karachi Union of Journalists are not fulfilled, they will soon announce the next course of action after consultation.
