Javed Jabbar (Former Information Minister):
Despite the social media and television, Radio Pakistan played a vital role in providing a platform to the artists to expose their abilities. There is a long list of great artists in the country who started from Radio Pakistan, which covers all areas of the country. Radio Pakistan is the best medium of information even in the far flung areas. Radio Pakistan has a long list of luminaries: singers, actors and people who have performed or are performing in different capacities.
