The Congress-run Associated Journals Ltd, a company founded by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, on Wednesday announced its plan to resume publication of Urdu newspaper Qaumi Awaz with veteran journalist Zafar Agha named as its Editor-in-Chief.
Qaumi Awaz, one of the pioneers of post-Independence Urdu journalism, had temporarily suspended publication in 2008.
"The company has appointed veteran journalist Zafar Agha as Editor-in-Chief for its Urdu newspaper Qaumi Awaz and the digital property with immediate effect. He will be responsible for building and leading the team of Qaumi Awaz and its digital and related assets," said a Congress statement.
Associated Journals had launched the beta version of its English website -- www.nationalheraldindia.com -- last year and named Neelabh Mishra as its Editor-in-Chief for its Hindi and English newspapers.
