Geo News anchor Sarah Ilyas seems hot under the collar with the media organizations and rebuked the trade owners as she believes that the protests against non-payment of the salaries are junky.
The anchorperson shared the pamphlet of Rawalpindi Islamabad Union of Journalists (RIUJ), condemning delayed salaries and maintained that the protests for this cause are useless.
“I remember these lollipops were given to us every month when I was working at Public News. It’s been almost two years now, they haven’t paid mine and many other employees’ salaries”, she penned down.

It happens everywhere yar. My dues at The News eventually get cleared every year, but very very late. A website National Courier owes me Rs 66k since 2019 while another production house that is venturing into digital these days hasn’t paid my Rs 97000 even after 18 months.
