Will Dr. Shahid Masood Be Ashamed Of His Lie?

What one can see in the above picture is very clear that the delegation of PML-N including its presidential candidate Mr. Mamnoon Hussain that visited MQM’ central office “90” in Azizabad. However what one

more important thing that this picture shows is the presence of the Governor Sindh Dr. Ishrat-ul-IbadKhan in the meeting along with the MQM’s other leaders. Apparently, he is very senior and committed member of MQM who kept standing by his party and the leader Mr. Altaf Hussain. Therefore, it was supposed to be nothing special about his presence at “90”. However, this fact became of utmost importance after the claim of one very senior anchorperson Dr. Shahid Masood about the alleged differences between the Governor Sindh and MQM’s leadership.      

In a talk show “News Beat” on Sama TV of July 14, 213 (http://www.zemtv.com/2013/07/14/news-beat-dr-imran-farooq-case-may-mqm-kitni-had-tak-molavas-hai-14th-july-2013) hosted by Paras Khursheed, Dr. Shahid Masood revealed from his sources that the governor Sindh Dr. Ishart-ul-Ibad was in danger. He said, “My very reliable sources have informed me that on the last visit of Dr. Ishrat-ul-Ibad to Dubai, two young men with the intention to harm him checked in the hotel room close to the one in which Dr. Ishrat-ul-Ibad was staying. However, by coming to know in the right time, the relevant authorities immediately removed the young men from there and asked the governor Sindh to be careful.” In that respect, he also gave the impression that the life threat was as the result of internal conflicts in MQM.

The question arises here is if whatever was claimed by him was really true and that the Dubai authorities had been aware of the plan of the two young killers in advance, then why did they just remove the killer from the hotel? Why did they not arrest them and interrogate as to who asked them to harm the governor Sindh and why? Moreover, on what basis have his “reliable sources” informed Dr. Shahid Masood that the life threat to the governor Sindh is due to the internal differences in MQM? In other words, was he not accusing MQM of having a plan to assassinate Dr. Ishrat-ul-Ibad?

Anyway, the presence of Dr. Ishart-ul-Ibad Khan’s arrival at MQM’s head office “90”not only proves that he has no differences with MQM, but it once again exposes the reality of intentionally spread rumors by the anti-MQM elements. Now, will the Dr. Shahid Masood like to explain how the Governor Sindh arrive at “90” when, according his “very reliable sources”, Dr. Ishrat-ul-Ibad had serious conflicts with MQM leadership and that “orders” had already been issued to assassinate him?? Would Shahid Masood and the host of the program “News Beat” Paras Khursheed, like to confess that they were telling a lie?    

To tell the truth, it has been very common that many anchorpersons, journalists, senior politicians and the analysts having been making several important “leaks” on the basis of their “very reliable sources” specially targeting MQM. Importantly, in most of the cases, their claims have taken place as they were “revealed” before. The question is how do these sources “expose” in advance only the incidents whose blame is eventually leveled on MQM and its leadership? The murders of the MQM`s chairman Azeem Ahmed Tariq, the editor of “Takbeer” Maulana Salah Uddin, Hakeem Saeed, S.M. Tariq, Dr. Imran Farooq and hundreds of MQM’s workers and office bearers are the ones for which various “inside stories” of alleged plans of their assassination by MQM had already been spread through news reports, columns, journalists’ investigation reports and the confessions of already arrested MQM workers before they were killed.

In all these incidents, MQM was charged as the culprits. In that scenario, none of the victims was alive to prove the MQM’s innocence in the cases. However, the safe arrival of Dr. Imran Farooq in London and expressing his confidence on MQM’s Quaid after his first time murder in 1996, exposed the reality of all “leaks” from these so-called “most credible sources”. This time, the target looked to be the governor Sindh. That is why the planned disinformation was spread in the name of the “most reliable sources” about the so-called differences between him and MQM by Dr. Shahid Masood. But, with the blessings of God, the arrival of the Governor Sind at “90” not only failed, but also exposed the same vicious conspiracy to malign MQM.  In the other case, MQM could have had to face another murder chage from the media and its political rivals. 

All these maliciously planned “leaks” from the same “well-informed sources”, indicate that the evil mindset leaves no stone unturned to distort the image of MQM and its leadership before the common people. Therefore, in addition to the MQM representatives, all of its workers and supports will have to keep their eyes open in respect of all these conspiracies and remain united in the same way in order to counter them.
