While everyone in Pakistan with a bit of self-respect and integrity can witness the shame and insult brought to judiciary and rule of law by the CJ of Lahore High Court, Hamid Mir of course has a different view. In a previous post (on 17 July 2010), the LUBP commented on "Chief Justice Hamid Mir's verdict in favour of Justice Khwaja [...]

Hamid Mir in his column titled “Jamhooriat aur Tuhmat Ka Culture” has supported Asma Jahangir in the recent linking of her candidature for the position of SCBA president with “Zardari Camp” as created by Ansar Abbasi and gang. The article basically talks about the way Pakistanis like to throw allegations at people and then gullibly [...]

What happened the announcement of Jang Group that they have constituted a committee to probe the Hamid Mir-gate?

Consider this scenario: officially more than 100 people were killed in attacks on Ahmedi mosques in Lahore on Friday, May 28, 2010. Unofficially, Ahmedis say that more than 150 are dead. The media very quickly started calling the mosques as “place of worship” for they fear that the wrath of mullas would be on them. Suddenly the Aalmi [...]

Islamabad May 17, 2010 Dear Mr. Hamid Mir, Much has been said and written about your audio tape since last two days. I have also read your rebuttal, below email and another one that got "leaked" - as is claimed by one of the blogs, in which you're (claimed to be) clarifying your position and Asian Tigers' position. I do understand how [...]

Pakistan is reeling from the murder of 70 of its own citizens-massacred due to their faith by the self-appointed guardians of faith. Anyone with a shred of conscience left in Pakistan should declare themselves as Ahmadi – “I am an Ahmadi” should be the call of the day. (more...)

First of all I condemn the attack on two Ahemdi mosques in Lahore. What is more condemnable is the media reporting of the incident. The term "dehshatgard " which is usually used for terrorists  is changed with term "hamla-awar" (invaders).  Masjid /Mosque is changed with the term Ibadatgah (place of worship) . Ahmedi is changed with Qadyani. [...]

Many in the Pakistani media used the 2007-2009 lawyers’ movement in Pakistan as an ablution ritual to distance themselves from their fundamentalist past and created a centrist illusion around themselves “Newspapermen commit murder every day and week and go unpunished. Not that they escape judgment when they murder the King’s English; for [...]

Is Hamid Mir about to be arrested for his alleged role in Khalid Khwaja's murder through his friends in Punjabi Taliban? Is Mir Shakil-ur-Rehman too about to be arrested in his capacity as Hamid Mir's employer. Jang Group / Geo TV is notorious for its links with the Taliban, and has in its lust for more sensational stories always traded [...]

GIVEN Khalid Khwaja’s fate, whoever’s voice it is on that leaked tape can at the very least be potentially found guilty of incitement to violence, and at the worst be accused of being an accessory to murder. The ideologies of Khwaja’s captors are well-known after all: the militants are against the West and religious minorities, for [...]

Hamid Mir has been doing his best to divert attention of the public and journalists against his audio tapes that have been circulating on the Internet.
