Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan stated that an independent commission should investigate Jang/Geo group head Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman’s finances, alleging that the ruling party Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) and Mir Shakil are co-conspirators. He said the pharaoh is sitting in Dubai while people are dying in Pakistan, local channels reported.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Imran Khan alleged that Mir Khalil-ur-Rahman Foundation has received one billion rupees in foreign funding. He went on to allege that Geo TV took money from United States (US) State Department along with billions in donation for ‘Aman Ki Asha’ campaign.
In continuation of his vitriol diatribe against the channel he went on to allege that, “Geo TV has no editorial policy, adding that campaigns are run without any checks.” He said that Mir Shakil is maligning the country for personal gains. However, when asked if he would approach the court with regard to the allegations he had leveled against the Jang Group, he declined to do so.
I amglad that someone has taken up the gauntlet. Mr. Mir Shakeel ur Rehman is responsible himself of destroying free speech when he is scared to come and face charges levelled at him. He is hiding behind the petticoats of Nawaz Shariff who has been known to serve his interests only
Freedom of speech doesn’t mean that they are allowed to do what ever they like to do. What Mir Shakeel was doing when GEO did a 8 hours nonstop telecast about they ISI and Chief.
GEO’s top management always have been stating that no one cant do anything without any permission of Mir and whatever they do he always knows about it. He is guilty and i am sure he allowed to kept on going.
