When Imran Khan gave the call for Civil Disobedience, I wrote an article titled "Imran Khan's Declares Sharif's Government Despotic and Dictatorial In The Eyes Of Foreign Lenders"
. The original article can be read at this link: https://www.facebook.com/notes/bila...dictatorial-in-the-eyes-of-/10153088506469348. Please note the date of publication of this note on Facebook.
Imran Khan announced Civil Disobedience Movement on 17th of August. I spent 3-4 hours of the night researching and writing the article and published it on 18th August 2014. Everyone, who has not read the original article should do so now.
Immediately after writing the article, I shared it on twitter with each and every Anchor person and each and every PTI leader including Imran Khan. Back in August, I was not a member of Siasat.pk and have had difficulty signing up. So I sent an email to Adeel asking him to share the article on this forum as well. Pasted below is the text of the email:

Dear Brother
Unfortunately I am still unable to post on Siasat.pk. However I have written a very detailed explanation of how Imran Khan has crippled Nawaz Sharif Government and has denied the PML N from getting any foreign loans.
Please read it and share it on Siasat.pk and ask PTI supporters to spread it to PTI leaders in order to make them understand what really has happened today.
Imran Terms Sharif a Dictator

3 Days after writing the article, a friend of my friend shared an article on Facebook. This article was written by someone named Javed Choudary. I informed that distant friend that I wrote this article. Who is this Javed Choudary person and why has he put his name on my article. He informed me that Javed Choudary is a big media person in Pakistan and you should contact him and ask him to give you credits for the article.
What Javed Choudary did was took my article, edit it a bit to remove the discussion of ODIOUS DEBT from the article. Remove my name and instead put a line at the end of the article stating:
Credits: Anonymous.
and paste it on his website. You can read the copy/paste article on Javed Choudary's website at: http://javedch.com/imran-khans-mast...-that-the-entire-nation-failed-to-understand/
I was naturally upset at the situation. No person would want someone else to take credit for his work. And what Javed Choudary did was plagiarism, plain and simple. So I sent an email to Javed Choudary, on the email address listed on his website to either take down the article from his website or put it up in full with proper credits. The email is also pasted below:

Dear Javed Choudary.
I wrote an article titled "Imran Khan declares Sharif's Government despotic and Dictatorial in the Eyes of Foreign Lenders"
The article was published on Facebook on Aug 18, 2014. The link of the article is attached below:
https://www.facebook.com/notes/bila...dictatorial-in-the-eyes-of-/10153088506469348
You have copy pasted the article on your website without giving me proper credits. Additionally, you have edited it to omit out the discussion on odious debt.
So I would request you to publish the article on your site in full without any editing and give me proper credits. Or take it down.
Best Regards
Almost a month has passed, but till this date, Javed Choudary has neither taken down the article nor put it online in full with proper credits. Javed Choudary talks about civilized societies. If a journalist, do such a thing in a civilized society, he/she would be fired immediately from his job.
Update:
1 Day after posting this thread on Siasat.pk. I was contacted by people managing JavedCh.com and the article on the website has now been updated and is an unedited version of the original article. It also contains proper credits to me.
