Not many days ago when the moderator Adeel mentioned about the availability of a banner of a newly developed interactive website of a Pakistani journalist and so called opinion maker Haroon ur Rasheed and afterwards I got my self registered and posted some poignant questions on his website. I would like to share that post of mine and its “brilliant” response from this well known charlatan of Pakistani media. I would like to leave the rational and sensible forum members to formalise their opinions and views about his perfectly evasive reply;

First and foremost I have to be blunt here in this section to raise someof those points and questions which might give you the feeling of irritationand repugnance. You according to some of your critics, who are also in the ranks of your fraternity of journalism, are nothing but a quack and hypocrite of third degree who always seems to invoke the aphorisms of divine faith of Islam in the shape of some canonical texts and the sayings of some Muslim sages but on the contrary is the one who supports the evil Military establishment of Pakistan be it that was in a US Dollars sponsored so called Jihad against the Sovietsin the 1980’s, Pakistan’s undue interference in the affairs of its neighbours like China, Iran, Afghanistan and of course with the Indians in the past 3-4decades along with the Wars against Iraq and Afghanistan in the 2000’s on those pretexts which have been extensively discussed in the recent past and present.
Your close association with the establishment also reaped some of the materialistic favours for you as well in the shape of residential plots in the expensive territory of Capital along with getting regular imbursements from the secret coffers of Information ministry for many years now, an allegation which is also levelled against you from your detractors. Would you like to elaborate or make your stance clear on the above mentioned allegations
against you?

W/salam. Nobody is his own judge, others can be. Other than the political leaders I criticized, no body, not a single gentleman of my profession has ever said that I am dishonest, even from the readers you are only one in 42 years of my career. I don't believe in explanations. God bless you
Note: I know this post of mine will irritate and antagonise some of the members of Imran’s fan club including some of my honourable friends of this forum as well. But as emotionally indifferent and straightforward I am I reserve the right to hold my opinions and to me Haroon ur Rasheed, Gen Retd Hameed Gul and the members of their tribe are nothing but the true representative touts and elements of status quo and if Imran Khan has a company of such unscrupulous and hypocrite individuals then I can only pray for Almighty to restore Imran’s sense of judgement and rationality.
