ISLAMABAD:
Hamid Mir’s request for evidence regarding allegation about Geo TV
accepting foreign funding he made on August 2, 2013 was responded by six
bullets on April 19, 2014, but PTI chief Imran Khan repeated same
frivolous and baseless allegations against Geo/Jang Group despite the
fact that those who concocted these charges had to tender unconditional
apology before the apex court.
In his usual style of levelling any kind of accusations against each and every one, not part of his party, PTI chief Imran Khan repeated the allegations which were “part of statement of some Pemra officials” produced in a Media Commission Report. However, Imran once again cheated the whole nation by not speaking the real truth that later when the apex court had summoned all these Pemra officials to provide evidence, all of them had tendered unconditional apology for levelling these wrong and baseless allegations. It is worth mentioning that Geo had rejected apology and had demanded evidences.
The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) had tendered apology on Friday August 2, 2013 in the Supreme Court over the statement regarding Geo TV’s awareness campaigns, including ‘Aman Ki Asha’ and ‘Zara Sochiye’. However, Hamid Mir had insisted that evidences must be provided of allegations levelled against Geo News. Counsel for Pemra Zulfiqar Maloka had submitted a written apology before the bench and stated that Pemra apologises over its statement.
The Supreme Court had remarked that it was a non-serious attitude of the Pemra officials as they should have behaved in a responsible manner. Imran Khan, who has launched a national campaign against Hamid Mir and Geo/Jang Group right after Pakistan’s top anchor and host of popular programme ‘Capital Talk’ was attacked and shot six bullets in his chest and lower abdomen, also hid a basic fact from the nation that this Media Commission Report was presented in a case which was filed by Hamid Mir himself. Hamid Mir, the petitioner in the case, had said that Geo did not seek an apology from Pemra, instead, he had said he and Geo wanted Pemra to present evidence to prove its allegations.
Not only this, Imran also repeated the allegation that Geo/Jang Group’s peace initiative ‘Aman ki Asha’, which was praised by Khan himself many times, has received big money from a Norwegian NGO ‘Friends without Borders’. It is important to mention that after PTI started airing this allegation few months back the said NGO had responded in writing that it has never ever funded Aman ki Asha initiative.
Imran Khan again tried to mislead the nation and directly attacked the institution of Supreme Court by dragging it into his slanderous allegations and provided journalists in writing a weblink of the official website of Supreme Court, saying that these allegations are present on apex court website as part of media commission report. Many judgements and reports of commissions are present on apex court website which always contains details of allegations which can later be proved true of false. These allegations present in Media Commission Report were not only proved false but even those who levelled allegations tendered unconditional apology which was out-rightly rejected by Geo/Jang Group. Imran now will have to prove all these allegations in court of law or will have to face consequences.
