Is Dr. Shahid Masood ready for “Rule of Law”?
From this report in Dawn it seems that it has come to the notice of the Public Accounts committee (headed by Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan) that when Dr. Shahid Masood tendered his resignation from PTV, he did not provide the required six months notice and so was liable to pay Rs. 5.1 million in lieu of the notice period. Since this amount has not been paid by Dr. Shahid Masood, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has backed PTVC’s decision to serve a legal notice to Dr. Shahid Masood.
Interestingly, Hamid Mir had alleged in late May that a campaign was underway to destroy Jang group. In this campaign, the weapon of fake cases would be used against Shahid Masood while Hamid Mir himself was being targetted with fake tapes. In a very ironic twist it seems possible that Dr Shahid Masood will claim political victimization or politically motivated cases filed against him as a defence since he has categorically denied that he owes any money to PTV. He claims that the clauses of his employment contract were modified during his resignation process.
At LUBP we have every hope that Dr. Shahid Masood who has so far held the government up to a very high standard of morality on issues such as fake degree, corruption, rule of law, judicial appointments, LNG contract scandal, and many other points of criticism will allow the law to take its due course in his own case rather than hiding behind claims of political victimization.
Everyone in this country should be ready to face the ‘rule’ of law.
Having said that , I would like to add that PPP does not have to sole right to cry ‘conspiracy , victimization’ whenever things go against them.
@Natasha You are right. This job must be better left to conspiracy theorists such as Ansar Abbasi and Shireen Mazari.
Akhtar , that’s what EVERYONE does in this country. The difference is that PPP’s better being a cry-baby. They have 4 dead Bhuttos to play their game better you see.
@Natasha Mullah apologists such as yourself will keep ridiculing the great sacrifices of the PPP leaders and jiyalas.
Did you write this excellent piece in defence of mullahs at a time when mullahs and their children are bombarding Pakistani cities, towns, hospitals, mosques and barracks?

Sarah Khan or whatever your real name is,
Go educate yourself about who’s a mullah first. Keep your pathetically myopic vision aside , and read the piece with an open mind. It criticises everyone who has a role in giving an honourable title a negative shade.
hello everyone… its great to see there are some websites that are serving for the betterment of Pakistan… Natasha i agree with you. your view about politics and other visions are great.
