Talk about the journalist community being generous! Last week, the Lahore Press Club awarded an honorary membership of the club to singer, and now actor, Ali Zafar. He was very happy on the occasion (as he should) and speaking at the meet-the-press programme claimed that the year 2015 would be the year of Pakistani films (whatever that means). He said that while working in Bollywood he makes sure that he doesn’t do any project which can cause damage to Pakistan.

Good going Ali Z. You sure sound politically correct, and therefore the press club membership is justified.
