Z. A. Suleri

Ziauddin Ahmad Suleri (Urdu: ضیاء الدین احمد سلہری) (or ZA Suleri; 1913-1999) was a notable journalist and writer from Pakistan. He served as Editor of Dawn and The Pakistan Times and founded the Times of Karachi. He was outspoken and frequently jailed for his statements and activities. He was also called "Pip" (short for patriotic and preposterous). In 1965 he headed Military Public Relations directorate of Pakistan. In his early life he was an activist of Pakistan movement and wrote "My Leader", the first semi-biographical work in English on Pakistan’s founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah. He was also the chairman of Quaid-i-Azam Academy. He died of a heart attack in Lahore.
