Rehman Malik’s tweet says:

Samad Khurram is not my media adviser and I have ordered an inquiry to trace him and charge him under impersonation. @SamadK

Apparently, Samad Khurram, a youth activist had put this joke in his bio, in order to criticize his incompetency:

“Media Adviser to @SenRehmanMalik. Clearly, I am very competent. #Not”

Pakistani tweeters have slammed Rehman Malik for taking this issue serious while leaving country in the turmoil. The recent incidents/terror attacks should be kept in consideration. In the middle of all this, Interior Ministry’s priority is to get hold of Samad Khurram rather than sorting out any other issues.

We are afraid that we might indeed see Samad Khurram in trouble; this afterall is where our leaders are best at. Silence people!

This article was initially published at Sri Lanka’s Daily News, then on Teeth Maestro , Times of India and many other news sources. With the concent of Samad Khurram, I am publishing it at this blog also, so that more Sri Lankans can read it.

This letter is our expression of deep sorrow and grief at the savage attacks on the Sri Lankan cricket team while they were touring our country. As Pakistani citizens, we are shocked, angered, and greatly embarrassed at being the source of such anxiety to the people of Sri Lanka. There never can be a justification for such horrendous acts of violence, and the Pakistani nation strongly condemns this evil act.

The dastardly attacks were carried out by miscreants who do not share the common values that the peaceful citizens of both Sri Lanka and Pakistan cherish and uphold. Pakistan has been the victim of many terrorist attacks in the last few years, and it is evident that this cowardly act was another attempt to cause increased turmoil and chaos in a country that is already suffering through a period of extreme violence and anarchy.

We therefore thank the Sri Lankan team for agreeing to play in Pakistan even when other countries refused citing security concerns. In hindsight, those apprehensions seem very valid, but the courage of the Sri Lankan Cricket Board and players in agreeing to play is laudable, and the nation of Pakistan shall be forever indebted to your country. This tour was crucial for the revival of cricket in Pakistan, and we greatly appreciate your efforts in agreeing to be a part of this process.

Our two nations have always enjoyed close cricketing ties. Lahore, the city of this massacre, is the same town that witnessed the Sri Lankan team under Arjuna Ranatunga proudly win the cricket World Cup in 1996. The Pakistani fans cheerfully celebrated alongside Sri Lanka, for this was the victory of a close friend against the Australians who had been notoriously harassing South Asian cricketers. It is, now, of course, deeply distressing that the sport of cricket, which has always been the source of such joy to the people of Pakistan, is the cause of our humiliation today.

In the long tradition of jovial relations this comes as moment of disbelief and grief for Pakistanis. We have failed to protect perhaps the only team that had braved to enter our territory.

The only consolation in this episode is that all of the players survived. We sincerely pray for the swift recovery of Mahela Jayawardena, Thilan Samaraweera, Tharanga Paranavitana, Kumar Sangakkara, Ajantha Mendis, Suranga Lakmal, Chaminda Vaas and Paul Farbrace, and hope that they are able to return to cricket soon.

We express our appreciation for the remarks of the Sri Lankan Government and Foreign Ministry, forever solidifying the bonds between our nations. The Pakistani Foreign Office also reaffirmed today that Pakistan greatly values its relations with Sri Lanka, and we endorse this statement and look forward to extending this close friendship. In times of great distress, our allegiance to one another is what sustains us, and the Sri Lankan commitment to friendship with Pakistan displays the benevolent spirit of your nation.

Our nation expresses pride at the bravery of the van driver who, according to Kumar Sangakkara, heroically managed to deliver the players to safety. Tribute must be paid to the six Pakistani police officers who sacrificed their lives while trying to protect the Sri Lankan team.

Citizens of Sri Lanka, we share your grief. We are all one today.

Dr. Shahid Masood was still in rumors that he may resign PTV and others, it all got cleared when Dr. Shahid Masood was brought into Jawab Deh by Iftikhar Ahmad in 23 Nov Episode. Dr. Shahid again made many claims and most of the them were also disproved later in  Aaj Kamran Khan Kay Saath”.

Other false claims are:

1. “Dr. Ishrat ul Ibad was my class fellow”,  Sources rejected the claim
2. “Dialogue(think tank) was self financed”, one of the attendee rejected the claim and reported that Dr. Shahid Masood paid all accommodation and travel expenses.

And the Dogar’s controversy?

Yeah, her daughter’s grade was raised from C to B, and she was awarded undue marks, just so that she could become eligible to apply in some reputed universities with the better grade. Imagine, the gentleman who is supposed to provide justice to the entire country, does such acts. And this is just one propagated exposed fact, we can very well imagine that what else facilities he has been enjoying. And the justice? who cares? huh?

Here’s what Ansar Abbasi reported in The News:

ISLAMABAD: In what could become a mass denial of rights of thousands of students throughout the country, the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE) Islamabad has illegally awarded extra marks and upgraded the examination results of the daughter of the country’s top judge.

In indecent haste and under direct written orders of the chairman FBISE, relaxing and violating all rules and even some judgments of the Supreme Court, the FSc result of student Farah Hameed Dogar was jacked up from 640 marks in Grade ‘C’ to 661 marks in Grade ‘B’, thus making her eligible to apply for admission into any medical college in the country.

Documentary evidence available with The News, background interviews and on the record discussions with concerned officials of the FBISE establish that the Islamabad Board went out of its way in the case of Farah Hameed Dogar by fast forwarding the entire process of re-checking, re-assessing and even re-marking her examination papers to her advantage and superceding thousands of other candidates who had obtained marks between 642 and 660. [..]

And last but ofcourse not the least, Faisal Qureshi who used to be my inspiration. Thanks to Samad Khurram for opening my eyes. Below is the original note written by Samad Khurram

Apparently Faisal Qureshi – host of Ankahi – is going around the country doing tours trying to win support of the people and potraying himself as a hero.

Most people do not know about Faisal Qureshi’s role in stashing away the illegally acquired wealth of his uncles Salman Farooqii and Usman Farooqui.

When I asked him about this he simply removed me from his friends list ! Chowr ki daari main tinka !

Earlier at Bahria he had called the honorable Chief Justice a “monkey” and his wife was defending the government over missing people saying this is exactly what they should have done. No surprise. An independent judiciary will put an end to all his dramas!

A previous FIA raid of the same lockers of BRR Modaraba in PECHS Society had proved futile as the jewelery then recovered turned out to be imitation. However, this time the stuff recovered by Ehtesab Bureau and FIA officials was genuine, claimed Deputy Director FIA Corporate Circle, Moazzam Jah. On an information linked with the haul of FEBCs from a Lahore branch of ANZ Grindlays Bank, FIA’s Karachi office raided the bungalow of Faisal Qureshi, a nephew of Usman Farooqi.

During Faisal’s interrogation and search of the bungalow in Defence Phase-II, the FIA found receipts and a locker key. Faisal informed the FIA that he had a locker each at ANZ Grindlays and BRR Modaraba and confessed that the locker at ANZ Grindlays was obtained on January 28 while the BRR Modaraba locker was secured on January 19.

He also confessed that his aunt Anisa Farooqi (wife of Usman Farooqi) had asked him to keep the FEBCs, gold, gold and diamond jewellery and wrist watches in his locker. In the light of this information, the FIA and Ehtesab Bureau officials drove Faisal to BRR Modaraba lockers and in the presence of SDM Ferozabad opened the locker bearing No SL 14 recovering costly jewellery and wrist watches.

The recovered stuff includes over a dozen costly gold wrist watches — mostly Rolex — three of them diamond studded, each estimated to cost Rs 1 million, 14 gold rings, 10 of them diamond studded, hundreds of gold bangles, diamond bracelet, a couple of diamond sets, gold chains and gem stones.

Faisal Qureshi’s earlier software company was found involved in Credit Card fraud and he was arrested in 2003 (http://www.crime-research.org/news/2003/01/Mess1201.htm)

No wonder he hates the CJ. Would he want to go to jail after all his money laundering is brought to task?

Guys! It’s getting dangerous now! Imagine, our politicians and government is corrupt, our judiciary is corrupt and now?? the journalists also?? And My humble request to the bloggers, Please Please Please stay sincere so that we dont get the this tag of “corruption”
