WEB DESK – The Lahore High Court (LHC) moved to register case of treason against Mir Shakilur Rehman, Jang Group and Geo Television Network for maligning the national security institute over alleged murder attempt on Hamid Mir.
A petition was filed in LHC on Monday by one Sardar Aftab in which the petitioner maintained that
inquiry on Hamid Mir’s alleged murder attempt was not even initiated and
the group started maligning Inter-Services
Intelligence (ISI) for it.
The petitioner also stated in the petition that Jang and Geo Group
were trying to sabotage the integrity of ISI and Pakistan Army.
Earlier, the Director General of Inter-Services
Public Relations
(ISPR), Major General Asim Najwa had also hinted to carry out legal
actions against the Jang and Geo group for their ‘baseless’ maligning on
the ISI and its chief Lt General Zaheerul Islam.
Its worth mentioning here that after the alleged murder attempt on Hamid Mir, Geo and Jang group never wasted
a minute
to run the whole course of transmission in order to prove that how
Hamid Mir himself had nominated ISI and Lt General Zaheerul Islam if
anything happened to him.
However, it was only after damnation and criticism on behalf of other media
outlets
and general public, Geo and Jang Group changed their stance and started
publishing/broadcasting news that they are not accusing any institute
nor pointing fingers at anyone rather demanding a free and fair
investigations.
