Where’s My Dr Shahid Masood Is Gone??
February 15, 2008
The most Famous Pakistan Political Analyst, Dr Shahid Masood is Disappear From the Media Scene and At Least I am very Concerned And I really want him Back.
That’s Why I want to convey him a massage through this Blog that “Please Please Sir, Please Come back or if Musharraf is a Hurdle, then Please Start Your own website Or Blog”
and blogger, Please Share this or write something that Dr shahid Masood start a Blog… I Really want him Back.
Dr.Shahid Masood we all the missing u like desert miss the rain …..
I also recommend u to at least launch a website , where we can benefit frm ur views on pakistani politics
regards,
Sir, you have served the nation well. We want you back in any form possible. U are the pride of our nation and a symbol of our fight for truth.
Absence of Dr. Shahid Masood from Geo TV and complete silence of Geo TV about him, makes one wonder if that was a part of deal to put geo back on air. I will appeal to Dr. Shahid Masood to start his own blog and let Pakistanis benefit from his thought process, if he can do this without compromising this personal well being.
Pakistani establishmnet and their supporters, especillay vested interest groups in the West will never like to have an independent Judiciary and media in Pakistan. However people living with principals have given so much sacrifices. It starts from the time of Jaryanwala bagh to Hasan Nasir and then a long list of our heroes. They did not give up even they had to give up their life. Business institutions will not go that far in this struggle. This is what happened when Geo TV made a deal. Dr. Massod should have known this fact from his college days in Karachi. This type of struggle can not be run from the media outlet. I will suggest Dr. Masood and Hamid Mir to Join sincere and staedfast political groups and run their media effectively by BLOg like this, so that a real change should come in the country.
SIR, YOU HAVE SERVED THE MUSLIM UMMA WE WANT BACK IN GEO OR ANY TV
FROM ABDUL AHAD
S.INDIAN
DR SHAHID MASOOD THATS TRUE WE ALL EXTREMLY MISS U.I AGREE WID GUYS THAT MUST START UR OWN WEBSITE..OR PLZ JOIN ALJAZEERA OR OTHER NON PAKISTANI CHANNEL..OR DO WRITE ARTICLES ON ANY WEBSITE ..WE WERE HAPPY GEO IS BACK BUT GEO WITHOUT U IS NOTHING…WE ALL LOV U N MISS U..
Sir,
We Pakistani feel proud of You very much. As there is complete silence about you on media but these things happened to all great People in Pakistan history.
My prayers are with you. May Allah bless you.

syed faran shah
desperately waiting for your return to media, have literally stopped watching GEO news since you have been removed. but we salute you for being the honest person you are..girtay hain shah sawar hi maydan-e-jang me. every honest men is tested…you are an asset of pakistan. please consider presenting your show from some foreign channel.
Dr Shahid Masood should be the prime minister of Pakistan.
Sir, I am extremely disappointed with this current situation of our country and we really need u back on our TV screen.I am fully aware of the deal in which govt has allowed GEO tv to be back on air. Geo tv has sacrificed the person who carried the flag of truth.
Hi All,
Every person has the right to have his or her own opinion. I think Mr Masood is the most biased and controversial media personality I have ever seen. Reason why I am saying is that because he has a big mouth to babble against present regime but never had the courage of questioning the corruptions and money laundering done by Benazir, her husband and Nawaz Sharif. Can anyone out there tell me why?
Its a blessing that he is not on any more and he is not being missed at all and I am glad he is off and should remain off until he learns his lesson.
Ownerable our hero Dr. Shahid Masood’d last message on Geo News.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4Tmud2vH5A
Dr. Shahid Masood is being missed by everyone who has courage to hear the truth. Why we are not hearing from him at all. If GEO has made any deals then at least will cancel it’s subscription.
Dear Shahid Masood,
Thanks for serving the country the best way.

Hi Toon,
People who are missing Mr Masood are of same corrupt calibre as Bhutto famliy or Sharif family and you can also call them anti Pakistan as well. Because a media person should be neutral and not supporting any of the political party or group but Mr Masood was and is biased by all means and reaping what he sowed.
dr shahid masood plz com back we r all miss u .i hope we will see u soon onair.inshallah
Hi there,
I think its time for Toon and Farzana Rahman to growup and learn to face the facts. Have they ever seen Mr Masood commenting about Benazir’s and Nawaz Sharif’s corruption. The answer is “No” and this really exhibits how biased he is.
Come on guys the picture is clear there is still time for you to realise who is right and who is wrong.
Hi There
Syed J Rahman, I beleive you are not aware of Musharaf’s deals. He pushed whole country in to mysrey. Are you blessed by Musharaf or any of his allies or just trying to make fun of a suffering nation. There was no shortage of Faujis in any department or organisation but he pushed to last limit that is why new cheif is withdrawing those personnel. Open recruitment for any foreign agencies happened first time. CIA have established largest network in Pakistan, what else you want Musharaf to add. You did not mention MQM leaders in your comments. Why ignore those sell exil due to murder cases but still musharaf’s favourit.
Hi All,
Mr. Hamid, some people are so much get used to of living their lives as slaves of their masters and your mentality reflects the same.
You want same Sharif, Bhutto or another feudal lord to rule you isn’t it. What’s goning to happen once Musharraf is gone, its going to be same old feudal lords and their family members who will make their personal accounts and properties.
At least one thing is clear that is, President Musharraf have dont nothing to make his accounts healthy.
Since you have mentioned MQM, let me tell you that they have won more seats in national assembley then usual which shows that they have really done something for their contituencies so it’ll all be exageration to say somethig about them.
Hello everybody,
Mr. Rahman, I admitt that Sharif family and Bhutto family they r the most corrupt leaders we’ve ever had and even after all their corruption they have won this election with a very huge margin then y not MQM. they r corrupted as well but their corruption is bit different from these feudal lords. :BHATTA AND BORI MEIN BAND LAASHAYEN: this is their trade mark.
nawaz sharif, benazir, zardari, altaf hussain, they all r brothers and sisters.
Hi All,
I think Javeria Jalil is living in fools world and I don’t know why some people want see what they want to see and afraid to face the reality.
Again it was Benazir and Nawaz Sharif who pushed MQM during their regime and did extra judicial killings plus the agencies were on their side in genocide of the Mohajirs.
Want to know the truths then have you forgotten when Benazir gave the list of Sikh in pakistan fighting for Khalistan (Independence from India) and Nawaz Sharif who stopped Kargil where if Pak Army would have stayed for another week or so Pakistan would have conquered J. Kashmir.
Again let me remind you people that feudal lords have damaged Pakistan so much in every way that I can’t see any good for my country, but traitors like Nawaz Sharif, Bhutto and others have gained both financially and getting into higher places in Pakistani politics. There is still time for you to open your eyes, that is if you have any, what I mean is Common Sense.
Take care
Dr.Shahid Pls let me know where are you?
We miss you a lot.Geo have taken you from ARY and now no news about you…………………..
God Bless You and my Pakistan.
DR. SHAHID MASOOD YOU ARE REALLY A MARD-E-MUJAHID AND A MUJAHID NEVER LEAVE THE BATTLE FIELD. SIR PLEASE, KEEP ALL OF US INFORM WITH YOUR CURRENT CONDITION. I HOPE AND PRAY FOR YOUR GOOD HEALTH.
Well we really miss Dr Shahid Masood as I was use to watch Geo TV only because of his program. I hope and pray that you stay in good health so we are able to see you back after the departure of this brutal dictator (Musharraf).
sir,its rule of world.that
”har dor main kat-tay rahay sar ehl-e-wafa kay har dor yazeedon ka tarafdaar raha hai”
but not it mean that u are alone.16 karor pakistani are with u.allah help u dr.shahid masood.and i m sure as you mothers born a child after 10000000 years.my best wishes and deeply prayers are with u.where u are allah help u.allah help u.allah help u.amine ya rab al alemine.
Brutal dictator ????
People in Pakistan have a nasty habit of fogetting history,every elected and imposed head of the state has done the worst violations of human rights possible in Pakistan, are you kidding me, is Musharraf a worst dictator than Zia ul Haq?Has he looted the country more than the Bhuttos,Zardaris,Shareefs ,and their friends?
There was only one state run channel on T.V in Pakistan which was basically a mouth peice for the government of that time.People like Shahid Masood would be locked up in prison and tortured or killed for trying to speak against any of the above mentioned democratic leaders.
i afsaralijadoon from paris France .i am very concern about that why disappair from media.all pakistani in France want you back on fire pleas come back and if you want a presonal block we all are with you
I think with the change of Government in Pakistan and New prime Minister taking oath today, We hope We would be able to see Dr. Shahid Masood soon with a new program of MERAY MUTABIK.
Dr. Shahid, You are a tongue to my thoughts, I miss him allot.

Like rest of the Nation, I have sent a few notes to Geo, but there is no reply telling me about Dr. Shahids whereabout. If anyone knows what actualy has happened, I shall be most grateful as I am one of the people who loves the way Dr. Shahid has always presented his views on TV. He is missed tremendously by everyone and its high time he should come forward and lets us know what is going on presently.
I just pray he is ok with his family as anything can happen to people who speak against Bush and Mush.
It appears that someone removed the link I posted here earlier containing information about Dr. Masood. I wonder why…

THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE OF TRUTH.
Dear Mr. Rahman,
In Britain, there are opinionated programs on BBC, CNN and other channels all the time which are critical of the government and supportive of any one group. Near every election, newspapers openly declare which party they support. The Guardian, for example, supports the Conservatives while The Sun (most circulated in UK) openly writes “Vote Labour” on their front page at every general election. This is what freedom of speech is all about. It is the freedom to express your ideas. Dr. Shahid Masood does exactly this and he ha said that his program is an opinionated one based on HIS views exclusively. If you find it offensive, tough luck!
Pakistan is not meant to be ruled by hypocrites like Maulana Fazlur Rahman or feudal lords. But then neither is it meant to be ruled by Militarian dictators like Zia and Musharraf. I do believe these people (like Zardaris, Bhuttos, Sharifs) have a lot to answer for but I give Mr. Zardari and Mr. Sharif my full support as long as work for the greater good of Pakistan. I find that most appointments of Ministers and statements are a step in this direction. Some I have reservations with!
Pak Army act in Kargil was not authorised by the government, therefore it was treasonous. Do you want to rik nuclear war? I think you are one of those idealistic fools that still think Pakistan has a competent army.
Musharaf swore an oath when he became an army officer that he will not interfere in politics. He became president. This amounts to high treason (punishable by death). He created Q-League with the help of ISI and NAB (please read his book In the Line of Fire).
Need I remind you about how many disappearances there have been? People just disappear without being charged? All under Musharraf regime.
I do not measure development by mobile phones or the amount of GDP increase. There has been increase in loans under Musharraf’s regime, we are buying back the same wheat we exported at double the price due to poor financial planning.
“Musharraf has done nothing to make his accounts healthy.” If you believe that, you are truly foolish. A man who can do contempt of court, go back on his word (regarding uniform, respecting court decisions), an American pawn, a coward.He is a ruthless military dictator with zero credibility. Nothing more and nothing less.
I have the greatest respect for those who were shaheed but 1965 and 1971 were military disasters due to the poor planning of the Top Brass. If you look at foreign reports and encyclopedia entries on these wars, you wil find that Pakistani army always attacked first
The Pakistan Army and its chiefs over time have always thought they won the country. A Grade 22 officer, that’s what an army chief is. He is under the Minister for Defence. In our country, they make their own budget, they consider themselves superior to others and as if they are not answerable to the People of Pakistan. They get benefits, the likes of which are not seen throughout the world (like staff cars). Need I remind you that Prime Minister Gordon Brown when he was Chacellor of the Exchequer (equal to Minister of Finance) only had one car that cost around £2000 or that David Cameron (the leader of Conservatives) cycles to the Parliament.
Have you read the November 3rd Proclamation of Emergency. I find it a most embarrassing document (in which a grade 22 officer gives power to the president to make constitutional amendments). I feel that the people of a country should die with shame when 60 of their judges (the upholders of law) are so easily dismissed simply because of the whims of one man and that they fail to defend him. He overturns a constitution as if it had no meaning. Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry swore an oath (not under PCO as commonly believed but under an amended constitution) in which he agreed to “preserve the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan” (directly quoted). On the other hand, when new judges took oath, this line was struck off the document!
I do give Musharraf credit for a relatively free and fair election (although there was rigging video on Geo and the Nazims did everything they could to influence voter decision) and of course the mobile telephony flood which I find horribly managed. Also for the cars on the road and making the media relatively free(then enslaving it)the media. Education, of course, is zero as is the provision of healthcare. I say education is zero because the Pakistani Matriculation system is the most stupid system I have have come across. It is equal to too much hard work for nothing. It is all ‘learn beforehand’ rather than ‘test of how well you understand concepts’ No reforms here by our great saviour, Mr. Musharraf.
In conclusion, my good brother, please oh please do you not see we must break this vicious circle of feudal landlords and vicious totalitarianism of our military. We must stop killing our fellow brothers. We must work for the greater good of our country. We must identify the evils of our policies, learn to admit our faults, not be coerced or bullied into decisions by Washington. We should not consider ourselves superior to others simply because of rich and poor divide or class divide. We should also stop finger pointing at each other as I am sick of this Sindhi, Balochi, Pathan, Punjabi dillemma. Do you not realise that we are all in the same boat?
Sincerely yours,
Saad.
We love shahid masood.No doubt he is the best.
Any news where is he now. He should post articles and and interviews on a website.
Dr Shahid Masood when are you appearing again on geo.I miss your programme very much.
Please come back
I have seen an advert of Meray Mutabic on Geo, no times though but looks like he is coming back. I think its a good news for all of us apart from J Rehman (bad news mate).
hello everyone!
good to hear that Dr. Shahid Masood will b back on air.
but Dr. sahab it’s your duty now to reveal the facts about this present govt of ppp and pml(n).y all of a sudden all the cases against Zardari are dropped and Sharif brothers are roaming about freely and fibbing. and also the affair between our prime minister YOUSUF RAZA GILLANI and our SHEREE REHMAN, SEE THE LINK BELOW
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Yk6Bhq-w_Q
I am amazed that a person of this sort of low character can become a PM of our country and imagine how his policies will b like.
it’s now time to see what kind of miracle Zardari and Nawaz sharif r gonna do.
and it’s your duty now to disclose all the curruption of nawaz sharif and zaradri.
pls dont forget SURREY PALACE AND SWISS ACCOUNTS AND YELLOW CABS, RAIWIND PALACES.
SIR APP KAHAN CHALAY GAY HAIN PLZ WAPIS AA JAIN HAM AP KO BOT MIS KAR REHE HAIN ALLAH AP KA HAMI WA NASIR HO
Sir Shahid Masood… u r juz mind blowing.
I wish we could see and hear u again.
But some one above had probably said the ryt thing that its because of deal between government and GEO to come back on air that you have disappeared so mysteriously.
always praying and hoping for you good health. May Allah always keep u in his protection. Aameen
It’s good to see that Geo has started running the promo for Meray Mutabiq again (I’ve seen this a couple of times as well late at night, as mentioned by another poster above). Also, a banner of this show is also currently being displayed on http://geo.tv/ on the top right.
Although no timeframe for the resumption of the show is being given at the moment, it’s clear that the show will be back on air as soon Dr. Shahid returns from his trip abroad (where he went to pursue further studies in the US, according to some reports).
We need to be enlightened and inspired by a strong pakistani like you
mahmood abbasi
canada
Dr. shahid Masood we miss you very much, You kept nation aware of in and outs of Pakistani politics. We need your opinion/comments on current crisis and games being played behind the curtains. If you are not allowed to come on air, please start you own website so millions like me can benefit from your views. God bless you and long live Dr.shaid Masood
Guess what?!! He’s back with a bang!! The show is about to resume on Geo News from April 12, 6 days a week… Welcome back Dr. Shahid!

http://geo.tv/
Dear Mr. Saad,
It was pleasure to read your comments but on the other hand I feel so much pain as well by knowing your thoughts. It seems that you want to see what you want to see and don’t want to see the reality.
What I also have or BBC and you are too much impressed with the western world and their media.
In so many places you have contrdicted yourself, like at one point you want our country to come out of Feudalism yet supporting Zardari and Nawaz Sharif.
As I said earlier you want to see what you want to see, can’t you see in their regimes they have made palaces and allah know what else yet you are supporting them, don’t know why?
You have gone into so much rigmarole up there but still did not make any sense at all. My brother it is time for like you educated people to actually behave like educated people and prove that even one person can make a difference.
In order to see straight you need to be truthful to yourself and don’t support people like Bhutto’s Zardari’s and Sharif’s just because you like them or have some sort of association with them. By doing so you are not only risking our country but also humanity.
I can’t say anymore than that to you so stop living in a fools world and face the facts.
Allah Hafiz
Correction - it’s 4 days a week (Sat-Tue)… Still great!
Dear Mr. Saad, (Part 2)
You have also mentioned that in our country people are taking out more loans and this blame also goes on to Musharraf’s shoulders, Well, I don’t really know what do you mean by this as in the western countries credit card system is just a normal thing. This is just another contradiction in your comments praised freedom in western media and yet saying that credit system is bad and the blamed is Musharraf.
What do you really mean?
As per Shahid Masood is concerned that man didn’t had enough character to ask Benazir during the interview about the Surry Palace and the Kick backs from the Swiss firm, well did he no he never. But all he used to do in his program was to babble about Musharraf and that time regime, tell me is this fair. I think a media person should be nuetral and just.
I think people like Shahid Masood are like Dajjal who misleads people. Media should feel this responsibility of serving their Country and not some group, person or specific party. Just because those parties or people funds their channels.
Please, please don’t be so selfish and think about personal interests our interest should be in our country.
Hes here I always put his latest videos here at my Section of Pakistani Political Videos >> http://www.friendskorner.com/forum/f137/

Some years ago, I wrote, ‘In Pakistan, every politician goes to bed at night with the dream that he would wake up next morning as the Prime Minister.’
Similarly, I’d say today that, ‘Every journalist in Pakistan goes to bed every night with the thought that he would wake up next morning as the Information Minister or as Chairman of the Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV).’
Not only I repeated my above statement over the years but Pakistan’s 60 years history is witness that these two classes of Pakistan (Politicians & Journalists) have proved that I was right.
In fact, Pakistan is a weird country. In many ways it is different than almost any other country in the world. You can find the dirtiest and the ugliest people in Pakistan. You can find the most conscienceless, dheet, beghairat, the greediest and the most corrupt people in Pakistan. The unique quality of the Pakistani people is that, ‘every single ************ has a price’. The only thing needed is that you have the money to buy him!
Dr. Shahid Masood, who basically has a background of National Students Federation (NSF of People’s Party) is a failed surgeon by profession. He got attracted some 7-8 years ago toward journalism. His thinking was that journalism brings in a lot of money. He remained with ARY ONE WORLD and then joined GEO TV.
In Pakistani politics, if you want to succeed or you want to grow and reach some top government position or you want to make lots of money, you have to abuse, curse and shoot at the government, the military, and the Establishment or give a big shit to the United States (what Imran Khan, Aitzaz Ahsan, Mirza Aslam Baig, Hameed Gul, Talat Hussain, Nusrat Javed (Aaj TV), Hamid Mir (Geo), Dr. Shahid Masood (ex-Geo now PTV) are doing and did.
The present Pakistani ambassador to the U.S., Hussain Haqqani, Q-League Information Secretary Mushahid Hussain and the recently appointed Dr. Shahid Masood as Chairman of PTV are some the Beghairats (conscienceless) ************s who rose from journalism and reached to lucrative positions.
I am sure few more like Kamran Khan, Hamid Mir, Talat Hussain, Ansar Abbasi are also dreaming about waking up one fine morning to get some good news from Zardari.
But my question to these freaks is this: Why don’t you learn a lesson from Benazir Bhutto, Z. A. Bhutto, Indira Gandhi, Rajeev Gandhi, Ziaul Haque, Sheikh Mujeeb Ur Rehman, Idi Amin, Shah of Iran and many others who. Despite hundreds of millions of dollars died miserably. Not only these new wannabes are deepening their graves while they are alive but would leave hell for their children and survivors.
Congratulations Dr. Shahid Masood. But be assured that your position is connected to Asif Zardari and Peoples Party. The life of PPP is not too long and I suggest you book your house in Dubai or London in advance so that when you are dismissed from PTV by the next government, you won’t be able to have a program like “Terey Mutabiq”!
Shame on you. You were delivering sermons and lectures against the government and fell in the lap of the same government, Zardari and Rehman Malik, just for the sake of money and post to kiss their backs and lick their boots.
I would suggest to the others, Talat Hussain, Nusrat Javed, Hamid Mir, Kamran Khan and Ansar Abbasi to learn a lesson from Dr. Shahid.
THE SITUATION IN BULLETS
* Asif Zardari & Nawaz Sharif will soon run away from Pakistan.
* Auction ! Auction ! Auction !
Dr. Shahid Masood of Geo TV For Sale
PRICE: Needs To Be Bezamir & Beghairat
SOLD ! SOLD ! SOLD OUT !
BUYER: Asif Ali Zardari For PTV
* This is not a ‘Bhutto Legacy’ but a ‘Bhutto Nausea’ & ‘Bhutto Bubble’ which will soon fizzle out. Just watch the TV screens any moment of the day from the time you wake up in the morning and until the time you go to bed at night. You’ll hear nothing these days except the same old crap of “BHUTTOS”, Jeeyay Bhutto, Jeeyay Benazir, Bhutto Zinda Hai, Shaheed Bhuttos, Bhuttos did this, Bhuttos did that. Country resources, state properties, state authorities are being spent on personal agendas as this is NOT Pakistan but Bhutto Estate! SCREW THIS POLITICS OF DEAD BODIES, ZARDARI! PUT SOME HAIR ON YOUR CHEST. BE A MAN AND DO YOUR OWN POLITICS, A******!
* I wish for a Martial Law that would eradicate this nam nihad jamhooriat forever and kill at least 50,000 people, mostly, ex-servicemen, Chaudhries, Bhuttos, judges and all the other infiltrators and thugs who have held 160 million people of Pakistan for 60 years!
* The country is virtually at the verge of civil war, bloodshed, bankruptcy, destruction and at a position of getting ATTACKED by India, Israel and the United States, and all these people are thinking about is their self interest.
* When there is no Pakistan, where would you do your politics Zardari, Nawazoo, Aitezazoo, Iffi Chaudhry, Gul Bulbul and other jerks…?
* The destruction of this country would go in the account of private TVs, journalists, judges and all others who are pushing this country towards a point of NO RETURN!
Regards
Dr Shahid Masood nahi to Geo nahi
Shame on Geo, and if He accepted PTV (sarkari bakwas)chairmanship then same on him
Yes, Shahid Masood accepted the PV slot. Its true. He will get a percentage from the ads revenue against his own programme plus regular salary. He is the highest paid Chairman, PTV ever had - probably any Pakistani corporation ever had both public and private.
Per Hamid Mir in his Capital Talk, two persons were sold. Who is second one - Kamran Khan or some one else ?
Here is APP news confirming his appointment as Chairman PTV.

GOD MAY GIVE HIM LONG HEALTHY LIFE
AMIN

Listen people, i read in the news paper that Dr. shahid was offered a POST of DIRECTOR of PTV by government i suppose PPP and he accepted that.so we might see him appearing on PTV or may be he wouldn’t appear on TV any more.
And i heard someone say on CAPITAL TALK, that Dr. Shahid and Hamid Mir were offered high positions in the government.
Lets see what pops up in the future.
Well this step by Dr. Shahid masood doesn’t impress alot of people. this is not loyal to GEO . when ARY had some issues with Dr. Shahid GEO gave him opportunity and he shifted his loyalties again.
His Next Step would be “POLITICS”?????
Dr. Sahab you shattered your image. Please do let us know about the news going to ptv. If you did what were the causes you chose to quit geo. It was a clever trick to keep your mouth shut. Please try to understand. waslam Farzana from California

DR SHAHID IS GOING CONTACT WITH MUSHARIF HOW STRANGE AND STUPID THINGS HAPPENED IN PAKISTAN SHAME SHAME
Dr Sahib,
I used to be a great fan of your’s and trusted on you a lot.But now not only u lost your image but of all media personell.You disappointed us very much.Har banday ki koi na koi keemat hoti hai.i did’nt agree with this quote but now i think it’s true.As a young student i am so much disappointed.
INSHAALLAH YOU WILL SEE DR.MASOOD WILL KICK THE JOB OF PTV.HE MUST HAVE BEEN SEVERLY THREATENED.BUT MY HEART SAYS HE WILL BE WITH THE POOR MASSES OF PAKISTAN.YOU WATCH MY WORD.
PTV is a goverment based institution. It never speaks out against the on going etstablished government. I am sure Dr. Shahid will not be able to continue his role on PTV as on GEO. I wonder why GEO and Jang have not publicized this matter the way they do it for other news. The guy who was criticizing the establishment few months ago now has his picture taken by standing shoulder to shoulder with the estabishment. I want the comments of Hamid Mir upon this, who knows he becomes the GM of PTV after some time.
DR Shahid Masood was recently offered bribes and bought by Musharraf/Zardari.

True independence of institutions or just a ‘job’ a short story of struggle for institutional rights in Pakistan By: Amjad Malik
On 5th of May 2007 Lahore High Court Bar gathered a storm where deposed Chief Justice of Pakistan was facing trial on charges of misconduct, came to the city with a procession of lawyers and won the day. He won the hearts and minds of lay Pakistanis for just saying ‘No’ to the outgoing General. Ahsan Bhoon then President of Lahore High Court Bar was at forefront in the host committee organising that event. Since then he became a priority in the eyes of establishment and like Americans say ‘there is a price for everyone in Pakistan’ Mr. Bhoon proved that right by putting the price of his leadership of popular lawyer movement for the sake of becoming Mr. Justice Bhoon proving Sir Allama Iqbal right that Muslims bowed down when the time came to standstill in the battlefield. No offence to the judge, he did what all are doing around, he grabbed what he could.
Another example of a fiery anchor Dr Shahid Masood who gained prominence from his popular ‘views on news’ programme at local TV channel later was prompted or rather demoted to ‘Merey Mutabiq.’ He successfully caused stir in the ranks of the blue eyed clan by touching the corny subjects. One TV channel nearly went bankrupt as these lots were adamant that these newly liberated channels can truly bring true independence of media in a society where military regimes have deep rooted stakes visible at every corner of the major cities and ingrained in every chapters of the national history of Pakistan. He hit the nail aright and after partly causing 3 of November emergency, caved in when newly installed Government found him to be their loyal subject ready to do a job under them other than the job of nailing them for their wrong doings. At last his fire, mighty claims of principles, and future aspirations seeing media on top, all went to ashes and he gave in and accepted the hiring & firing role of chairmanship of national television PTV, a job truly well suited for a managerial type man. In UK, Jeremy Paxman would never accept a job of management of a TV station when his mastery is an anchorship of BBC ‘Newsnight’ a popular daily current affair programme. However, the sacred struggle for a genuinely free media was sacrificed at the altar of pragmatism and after shaking all the conscience of the nation to be brave and steadfast against the General, he left all on the likes of Hamid Mir, Ansaar Abbassi and Rauf Klasra or at best for the younger generations to fight for the so called freedom in some other times. He must have thought that he has done enough and let’s give other a chance, can’t blame him, he did befittingly to the environment as who knows he may not have this opportunity again. Alas, the destination is far away but struggle is lost for a job.
9th March initiated an era of constitutionalism in Pakistan and 20th of July 2007 could have been a beginning of a new era if the top judge understood it, however, we lost the opportunity to psychologically defeating the mind set which promotes dictatorship in our minds and attitudes. On 3rd of November General Musharraf once again imposed emergency curbing media freedom and sacking loyalist judges. Be Nazir was hunted down to save the western monopoly and despite all odds 18th February 2008 election results vetoed all the actions of the military man. Parliament came and went without declaring unlawfully confined judges as ‘restored’ instead they were merely freed by the Chief Executive who was yet to swear his oath. General Musharraf was resuscitated by the same clan who prayed 9 years for his ouster and if he survives another 6 months, critics strongly believe that he has the capacity to stay for another 5 years and all thanks to anti Musharraf forces who are wishy washy lacking unity of thought and action. Since taking his oath, PM so far, could not get time to enact the so called ‘Bhurban Declaration.’ Despite the fact that Mr. Gilani lost good 5 years of his life in jail on trumped up charges for the sake of parliament’s sovereignty, when the time came he happily handed over to the military commander the very powers and vested in him to exhibit fireworks in Fata at his sweet will. It begs the question what is the difference of Q league and the current administration, is it not just faces. Rule of law’ justice and constitutionalism became a slogan and a ball in the hands of politicians and My God, they played it well.
Then came a call for a long march as mandate was being humiliated by rulers. Lawyers without meritoriously bringing ‘legal action committee’ into action to adjudicate the wisdom of Chief Justice’s visit to then under trial Zardari failed in bringing a close check on those responsible rather went ahead with the leadership of one man. Aitzaz with the slogan and style of Bhuttoos and with the aid of ‘habib jalab’s verses mesmerised most of the nation especially young dancing advocates. We thought for once, that he meant it. Negligent ignorance to leave Justice Wajeeh, Siddiqui and Fakhur uddin Ibrahim behind was spared too. Then came 14th of June when all was set and ready to rock and roll but Ali Ahmed Kurd was gone and here came a messiah of the nation who taught the lesson of pragmatism that leader of his party must have understood the underlying message of this million march. In his self belief he called it a day without taking any public statement in response to his million march, in fear of unrest without proper consultation leaving the nation in shock and lawyers in dejection. How will he ever gather 5 lakhs in future, only he knows?
On top, people were humiliated by saying that Supreme Court Bar is short of funds and there was a fear of unrest. Alas, who will tell them that Quaid made Pakistan and 40 lakh people died at that time but no one blamed him for that onslaught. How come a few scoundrels in peaceful gathering could have created havoc in this march or sit in if the lawyers were determined? Young advocates cried and genuinely lawyers mourned with them and apologised to the nation. I must say, in the past even Clerk’s association have performed better in their negotiation skills to muster their minimum demands whilst staging a protest. He caved in meagrely, called off his moot and went to United States where all leaders go once they are tired.
With him on that day the dream of rule of law, justice and constitutionalism for the time being was also washed away as it will take time to pick up pieces from the rubble of pragmatism. Constitutional package is yet to be tabled and I genuinely feel for those great judges who did what they could but in the end the issue became a shuttlecock. In these circumstances, how can we expect a successful drive of democracy when every one wishes to keep his feet in two boats keeping their options open? They are busy negotiating their future on one hand whilst shouting slogans of ‘Go Musharraf Go’ and ‘long live Iftikhar’ on the other. They consider receipt of judge’s salaries out of PM’s alimony fund as their partial success, funnily they cannot see the difference, as they see everything with their own eyes and read Jalab with their style without understanding him. I think they need to read Allama Iqbal more. Aitzaz is confronted with his own conscience his aspirations, party loyalty up are against the popular drive of restoration of 2nd November judiciary. He cannot escape from lawyer’s movement as that is his recognition but he cannot decide on 40 years association either so he himself is standing in between both. Jinnah left congress the day he knew it can’t go together. His lawyer’s move against his own party PPP is failing as his party knows how to lose one stalwart for the sake of party. But he is no different to other Pakistani folks who know that freedom will take time, and in his self belief he put all off till some other day when people will not be hungry and he will have money for food, and when General Musharraf is a little more aged. That’s why we have no independent judges as the very people who raise voice for them do not want them back due to fear of losing their jobs.
This is the sorry state of play of the drive of civic rights in Pakistan where all stake holders keenly keep an eye on each other so that no one could rock the boat. It’s a land where heroes are ruined like Qadeer Khan, where judges are detained like Iftikhar Choudhary and Premiers are hanged, shot and exiled like Bhuttoo’s and Sharifs. Protest leaders eyes are stuck in their bellies. Public for once is confused whether all this is carried out in genuine sincerity or everything is done for a job. It’s a fittest to survive society and I fear the day when public who always back popular movements turn into a pragmatic nation and never come out when they call, then where will all these lots go and who will give them a job.

To : The Nation of Pakistan.
Why are the people of Islamic Republic of Pakistan are backing these sort of Anti-Pakistan Agents having lack of Conscience and moral ethics who working to destabilize Pakistan.
Its not too late for The Nation to start campaign against the Agents Like Shahid Masood, and take part in removing even his SHADOW from the only Patriotic PTV of Pakistan, in order to avoid vanishing our trust in the NEWS Broadcasts which is still viewed daily by every Citizen.
Dr Sahib
Allah app ki hifazat farmay, such ka daman na chootnay paay, dunya tu alag rahee, InshAllah akhtrat meen bhe kamyab hoongay
Dr Shahid Masood a ’smart ass’ and unsuccessful surgeon, traitor and big time liar has joined PTV. Now he will speak ‘Hakoomat kay Mutabiq’.
Dr Shahid Masood PTV Chairman Pay Package Announced by PPP (July 2nd, 2008)
The attached document (annexure-III) issued by the Establishment Division on May 25, 2007, said that MD PTV Yousuf Baig Mirza would get Rs 700,000 per month as salary. His house rent would be Rs 150,000 and utility allowances Rs 25,000. The salary would be raised by Rs 50,000 per annum. Free mobile phone, two residence telephones and one fax would be allowed. Business class tickets would be given for the national and international travels. Recreational allowance would be given according to the situation.
He is getting around one million from PTV.
The Establishment Division on Monday issued an ambiguous notification explaining the package and remunerations of the newly-appointed chairman-cum-managing director of the state-owned Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV).
The letter of the Establishment Division bearing No 1/64/2008-E-6, dated June 30, 2008, says that besides the fixed remuneration of the new chairman PTV, any other “financial benefits” are negotiable between Dr Shahid Masood and “competent authority” at some later stage.
The Establishment Division letter read: “Dr Shahid Masood, chairman PTV, who also has the additional charge of managing director, has agreed to receive the same remuneration package which was given to former MD PTV Yousuf Baig Mirza (annexure-III).” The contract of Dr Shahid Masood will be for a period of five years which could be terminated by either side on a six-month notice.
The attached document (annexure-III) issued by the Establishment Division on May 25, 2007, said that MD PTV Yousuf Baig Mirza would get Rs 700,000 per month as salary. His house rent would be Rs 150,000 and utility allowances Rs 25,000. The salary would be raised by Rs 50,000 per annum. Free mobile phone, two residence telephones and one fax would be allowed. Business class tickets would be given for the national and international travels. Recreational allowance would be given according to the situation.
The notification issued by the Establishment Division on Monday said Dr Shahid Masood would be paid Rs 50,000 extra to that of the package of the previous MD as he (Dr Shahid) would also hold the office of the PTV chairman.
Information minister Sherry Rehman has also approved the Establishment Division notification.
However, senior PTV officials see the point of “extra financial benefits to be negotiated later” with concern. The officials maintained that it would be totally against the rules of the corporation and illegal to offer somebody any percentage of the income from any programme aired on the PTV.
Dr Shahid Masood was appointed as the PTV chairman through the Establishment Division letter No 1/64/2008-E-6, dated May 31, 2008, and was given the additional charge of the MD through the letter No 1/64/2008-E-6, dated June 21, 2008.
Hi All Pakistani Brother’s & Sis…

Dr shahid
A Pseudo intellectual of a pseudo nation. Like the nation he has no conscious . Hamid Mir Bolthe Pakistan walle are trying to get some Govt job. But I don’t think so Musharaf will give them job , The way he gave to it shahid. but these stupid bolthe Pakistan walle will carry their stupid boltha Pakistan show till they get some job , may be courtier of Musharaf like Akber had Birbal and Mullya Dopiyaza .
I was so disappointed like thousand other around the word to see Dr. Shahid Masood’s appointment as a chairman of PTV. People around the word listen to him because he was the only one telling the truth. Popular phrase “Money can buy anything” unfortunately fit on people of Pakistan where you can virtually buy anything with few thousands. I defiantly don’t expect this from such a brave and talented man like Dr. Shahid.
i was thinking Dr. shaid masood was a Good Pakistani but he Also sale his mind and heart just for money.. very shamefull for him.. shame shame
SHAHID MASOOD HAS BEEN SOLD OUT, HE GOT A JOB IN PTV…
GOOD JOURNALIST BUT………………. EVERYBODY KNOWS ONE SIDED JOURNALISM,,,ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,

Adorable Sir,
How you will speak truth on PTV, why u did so ?
People! i suggest that we should not be emotionally involved with any of these anchors or analysta because they are just doing there jobs. when with GEO shahid masood was speaking geo’s language now he will speak PTV’s language. Its all about getting more money. they are not heroes….so dont expect heroism,,,
Let we guess what would be price of
Hamid Mir ???
Ansar Abassi??
Kashif abassi??
Talat??
Mushtaq ?
Nusrat?
Dr Shaid u should atleast hate urslelf, Just for 1 million u have lost a love of 160 million peoples. we thought you were doing jihad, but u were doing all this just to rais ur price. Comon hamid u can also get same…..
When Character is lost everything is lost By: Amjad Malik MA, LLM
Civilian rulers are in a fix how to restore supremacy of Parliament, promote rule of law and restore free judges as their deviation from consultation has revived the dying regime of General Musharraf who was once declared ‘endangered species’ by Benazir Bhuttoo but she was turned into ‘Be Nazir’ in a mysterious fashion. Similarly Nawaz Sharif with popularity graph touching high at 86% is the biggest thorn in the throats of old mafia and his life is in such a grave danger as he is antidote of the dictator, the survivor of a clan which carries the torch of Parliamentary Sovereignty thus deserve to be preserved as a national ‘asset’. Without him the country will be left with regional leaders occupying provincial majority under the command of a force which has a history as well as a reputation. In a country where over 55 years of age prime minister material leader representing Federation is by design at threat like Liaqat Ali Khan, Zulfiqar Bhuttoo, Be Nazir, and now Nawaz Sharif which tells the sad story of the state of affairs on civilian front for student of politics and it once again demands the dire need to preserve the politics of principles, the politics of Jinnah.
Pakistan is not what Quaid envisaged. Debauchery and profligacy has become a symbol of status, most of the elite is either drunk or busy counting ill gotten money and lower middle classes are leading the life below the poverty threshold. Nepotism, bribery and recommendation are the salient features of the current day police run society where might is right works as good as in English imperial rule. National resources are in the hands of a few who play with the destiny of the country. Any new ruler keeps an eye on its gas, coal, and minerals reserves ready to claim a lion’s share. Telling a lie is not at all considered a moral sin where in majority of the household of rich and influential an innocent child tells the caller on the phone, “papa says tell him he is not at home’ and moral bankruptcy has reined in due to dictatorial attitude in a nation of a 160 million people. Thanks to Generals Ayub, Yahya, Zia and Musharaf as the whole nation depicts a picture of their successful rule and they mirror it in their global psychological analysis and mind set. We all are turned into small dictators in our own dens, all because of lack of political system, infrastructure, and basic nurseries where political activity is nourished, groomed and perfected. Individual interest has taken precedence over national interest and we are ready to be divided on the name of cast, area, language, sect and province. Overall nationalism is all time low especially due to death of Akbar Bugti, Be Nazir Bhuttoo, and war of terror in tribal areas.
Critics argue that we are better off from Nigeria, Bangladesh, and Algeria and so on and one wonders whether these are the comparators one wish to see after attaining the atomic status. Pakistan a wonder land full of natural resources, heritage, and talent where people have a passion to do something great but are confronted with illusions in a leaderless society as the land is being ruined by corrupt elite where middle classes have no direction, no offer for future and the lack of wisdom has brain drain the country and all the top doctors are either settled in the USA or Canada serving their foreign masters. In fact, amongst them are the kids of the elite top brass who are abroad as the country where they are enjoying luxurious positions is unsafe for their kids at home. If there was any chance of them coming back, that is addressed by making Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan an example with an exemplary punishment so that no one dares to even think of national service as a duty, thus status quo remains. I feel due to their success stories in foreign lands, this reserve force of 8 million souls abroad will one day catch an eye of policy making body bodies in order to attempt to save the institutions from further decline.
The country is running on reserve ideas and emphasis is on ‘aid’ not on ‘trade’. Policy making bodies have not encouraged small business operatives to have access to open markets for their business growth including Europe and America. Even Chinese market is not yet open for the Pakistanis at its full scale as it should be. Investors runs when they see bloodshed on the street, suicidal missions and killings on whole sale basis. Our rulers are humiliated on foreign trips when due to lack of wisdom they brieflessly travel with dozens of entourage devoid of specialism and return with threats and a shopping list of what they need from Pakistan, of course with a few million dollars in kitty on each trip for incidental repair work of equipments due to the service they provide. US always played with carrot and a stick with the country since its inception and we are content that we are getting some money out of them. In our tribal areas missile fall like fire works. In fact now our army personnel are slaughtered by fault though it is by default as one man allegedly gave them the tacit understanding to fire at will freely in hot pursuits and they do exactly that without warning or sharing intelligence but no one tells him that he is the cause of the whole mess but who will bell the cat, no one, as Pakistan is for those who dare.
Country’s issue is not whether ISI is under Premier or newly found interior Minister. In fact the main issue is whether we can ever learn to start running under any set of principles, a constitution. As it stands there are two sets of system, one being constitutional the other ultra constitutional. History tells that it remained under the second for over 40 years. Political process has lost its ground in a country where military dictatorship has its foot prints on all institutions, political parties and national mind. Military rulers keep control in their hands and trust deficit is on both sides. Politicians lost opportunity like they did in early days post 18 February 2008 elections. This is a time when Pakistan needs a healing touch as too much negativity, and rigidness have affected the original stance on which the state was built. Lets make it better and make a pledge on the time of its independence celebrations that we will turn it into a Pakistan of Quaid e Azam where rule of law, justice and equality prevails. Responsibility lies on all institutions including politicians as the wiser says that if the wealth is lost nothing is lost, if the health is lost something is lost, but if the character is lost everything is lost. Our national character as a nation is at stake, is there any national leader who can dare at least to make an effort to save it.

hard to believe that such a prominent analyst went on the side of the qovt. contradicting with his own analysis and statements just for the sake of “few more rupees” ! Sigh ! ppl thought he would be different but no .. there goes another deception.
