[Chairman Imran Khan's letter to TV Channels to facilitate Sign Language]
Dear Sir/Madam,
An estimated nine million people in Pakistan have some form of hearing loss. A significant fraction of these are profoundly deaf which means that they are not able to hear anything despite hearing aids. It is difficult for the deaf and mute to be a part of society as their handicap prevents regular interaction with people, lack of awareness of their surroundings, and further social isolation.
I would like to request your channel to have a sign language interpreter (sitting beside the newscaster, or in a separate small window) in your 7 PM news program. This would cover a reachable population that is otherwise out of the social loop.
Yours sincerely,
Imran Khan
