Al-Jazeera is a very famous Arab news channel that is especially famous for working independently as they are not under-influence of any nation. It was established in 1996 and soon it became the most reliable source for news regarding Arab region. They are renowned for providing people a true and fair view of picture. So, what was the reason behind that these five ladies preferred to quit their successful professional career? The inside reports say that there was a huge criticism regarding the dresses of these news anchors and management pressurized them for dressing up to the values. The management has launched an investigation which has been given the responsibility to peep through the matter and find why the ladies preferred to resign instead talking with the management over issue. It was not the only reason for their resign and there were some other reasons also but one thing is confirmed that management never pressurized them to resign. It was their-own decision.
Editor-in-chief of Al-Jazeera, Ayman Jaballah, also observed that the image of these ladies was not very good in the public.
