- Minhaj Barna (born Minhaj Muhamad Khan Afridi; Urdu: منہاج برنا; (1923 – 15 January 2011) was a Pakistani veteran journalist and a trade union leader. Barna was Minhaj Muhammad Khan's poetic name, also called takhallus in Urdu language. He was best known for his inspiring leadership and unrelenting struggle for press freedom during the rules of military dictatorships in Pakistan. From 1977 to 1988, during General Zia Ul-Haq's oppressive military regime, a popular slogan or battle cry was coined by the protesters just for Minhaj Barna "terey saath jeena, terey saath marna - Minhaj Barna, Minhaj Barna" (we will live or die with Minhaj Barna). Pakistani media described Barna as an "icon of struggle." Abid Hassan Minto, a well-known progressive politician and constitutional expert said that Barna was considered a "sincere person and a conscientious, principled journalist," who not only fought for the journalists but also fought for the rights of other press employees. Minhaj Barna was the elder brother of Meraj Muhammad Khan, a well-known left-wing politician. Minhaj Barna received the award Tamgha-i-Imtiaz by the Government of Pakistan for his contributions to journalism in 2015. (en)
