Daily Times regrets 'gays' blunder

ISLAMABAD – Daily Times on Friday published a corrigendum a day after an embarrassing front-page headline blunder.

‘SC grants Daniyal 10 gays in contempt case’ ran the headline that appeared to amuse the readers. It was widely shared on social media.

However, the paper said Friday it regretted the error. “Apropos a news item published by Daily Times on front page in February 8 issue regarding hearing of a contempt case against Federal Minister for Privatisation Daniyal Aziz in the Supreme Court, it is clarified that the word “days” was inadvertently misspelt in the headline. The error is regretted.”
