PESHAWAR: Apropos a news item headlined ‘PTI no different from PML-N’ by our Mansehra correspondent, published in Dawn’s Metro North (KP edition) and on Page 7 in other editions on Oct 30, 2014, some of the quotes in the report were wrongly attributed to the Jamaat-i-Islami Emir, Sirajul Haq.
An internal investigation carried out by Dawn suggests that the JI chief neither compared the PTI with PML-N, nor he directly criticised Imran Khan and his party. The matter is being further investigated.
Any distress caused to any individual or political party as a result of this misreporting is deeply regretted.—Editor

Why is the clarification hidden away from the public eye when the actual news piece was there on the main page?
"The matter is being further investigated". I expect we wont know why such a big error was made.
