Letter To The Editor: Don’t steal words

Don’t steal words
Pakistan Observer
10-05-2013

This is reply to the letter published on 29th of April 2013 in this newspaper that the writer Faiza Azam plagiarized my content and sent it to the editor for publication with a new title. As everyone knows, editors do not have enough time to verify the content yet being an educated person it was sacred duty of Faiza Azam to avoid copying my word to word passages for the sake of publication. It goes without saying that the same content had been published with the title ‘Cast your vote campaign” dated 23rd of April in this newspaper.

I request to all educated people who used to plagiarize material from internet and from other sources that they should avoid themselves from such creepy and dishonest practices. Under the copy rights law plagiarizers can be held accountable but there is nothing good to drag someone to courts for her slight mistakes. It is therefore, the writer Faiza Azam is humbly requested to write a letter seeking open apology from the genuine author and from this prestigious newspaper editor for dodging them for nothing.
