Daily Jasarat (Urdu:روزنامہ جسارت) is an Urdu Dailynewspaper inPakistan. It is circulated all over Pakistan with offices inKarachi,Lahore andIslamabad.
Daily Jasarat was originally started in March 1970 fromMultan, but soon moved its operations toKarachi and later shut down due to strikes by journalists.[1]
Daily Jasarat faced governmental censorship, particularly between 1972 and 1976 underZulfikar Ali Bhutto's administration, resulting in multiple temporary shutdowns.[1] Internal conflicts arose duringMuhammad Zia-ul-Haq's rule between the newspaper's editorial leadership and Jamaat-e-Islami, especially over the issue of supporting the military regime. These disputes led to significant shifts within the organization, including the departure of editor Maulana Salahuddin.[1]
Subsequent to these internal changes,Daily Jasarat has seen a decline in readership, a trend that has continued over several decades, exacerbated by the rise of competing publications such asDaily Ummat in the 1990s.[1]
The newspaper reflects views ofJamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, a religious political party in Pakistan, while generally opposing left-wing and liberal ideologies.[2]
