Finally, Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman kicks Dr Shahid Masood out of Geo TV
After his disgraceful exits from PTV and Geo TV, it is now confirmed that Dr Shahid Masood, the ‘renowned’ asset of the military establishment in the ISI-JI dominated media, has been terminated from the ARY TV Network.
He was working as the President of ARY Television Network and hosted a talk-show “Views on News”.
It may be recalled that only a few days ago, Dr Masood’s emails were in circulation in various media networks and mail groups:
From Dr S&M, President ARY Network:
From: Dr Shahid Masood
Date: Sun, 19 Dec 2010 16:42:28 +0000
Subject: My status/positionDear All,
We in organisation are all aware of a situation which emerged after some of our colleagues resigned from lahore. It was followed by another unpleasant incident in islamabad office.During last one hour I received calls from media industry including one very important one (about which I informed salman sb immediately). I was involving my own status. Although salman sb categorically denied and we both are on same page in all decisions taken during last few days/months. Even then I” offer” my resignation if it can be helpful in resolving the issues.
I request all the team members to avoid creating/listening to rumours.
Best wishes.

Subject: Re: My status/positionDear All,
Just to clarify the resignation word in my previous email. Its just an”offer”,as I haven\’t resigned. The purpose was to convey a message that no one is above the organisation,including myself. As Winston Churchill said”let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning”.Regards.

It is widely believed that the owner of the ARY TV network wanted to get rid of Dr Shahid because of the following reasons:
- low and further declining ratings of his talkshow,
- complaints by colleagues and subordinates about his poor management skills,
- the increasing lack of trust by viewers because of Dr Shahid’s known links with the military establishment,
- boycott of Dr Shahid by the PPP (except Naheed Khan and Safdar Abbasi),
- boycott of Dr Shahid by all respectable journalists and analysts,
- Jang Group’s boycott of Dr Shahid Masood and his talkshow.
Also it has been said that the ARY management wanted to start a new prime-time comedy programme in lieu of the Views on News which Dr Shahid vehemently resisted.
As a damage control measure, Dr Shahid has written a verbose, poorly structured letter which has been sent to various list-servs and websites. Dr Shahid writes:
I am certain, some of you have been privy to, or receiving a lot of emails and needless speculations, ranging from controversies on hiring, firings and resignations all the way to some using their time and energy to discuss me.
I am pleased to announce that I will be a colleague and a co-worker with some of you very soon in my capacity of ‘CEO and President’ for an upcoming Media Group. Mr. Sadruddin Hashwani leads this consortium of giants from the Middle East and Europe.

It is now clear what Dr Shahid meant by advance worries (his disgraceful termination) and advance planning (seeking asylum in the Hashwani group).
It may be noted that not unlike Mir Shakil-ur-Rehman and Majeed Nizami (and other businessmen), Sadruddin Hashwani has always managed close links and cordial relationships with Pakistan’s military establishment. He is also known to be a personal friend of Geo TV’s Kamran Khan, the ISI’s oldest asset in Pakistani media.
Viewers’ reaction
The following is a selection of comments (from pkpolitics) which neatly sums up Pakistani people’s feelings about Dr Shahid and his disgraceful exit from yet another media house:
Pakistani47:
I have said in my many previous comments that this person is over ambitious and he can do anything for achieving his objectives. He does not care for moral values, ethics and so on. Now again he has got hold of some other financer but I am certain again his stay with that person will not be very long. The reason is, he is not faithful, reliable, trustworthy and competent and he does not have a formal training in this field. By training he is doctor. Let us see how long he can manage to stick with this new group. No other anchor or journalist has changed loyalities so often in recent years. He has been predicting demise of this current regime but he has to himself change his employers three times during this period. What an irony??saleem raza:

لیکن اس دفعہ تو زرداری کا نام تک زبان پر نہیں آیا پھر یہ چھٹی کیوں؟زرداری کا نام منہ سے نہیں نکلتا تھا لیکن گلے میں ہڈی کی طرح پھنسا ہوا تھا جس سے موصوف کو خاصی تکلیف ہوتی تھی ، ان کا اصل مسلہء اب یہ ہے کہ ان کا دماغی خلل انتہائی حدوں کو چھو چکا ہے کسی کی بات کو خاطر میں نہیں لاتے اور دوسروں کے ساتھ انتہائی توہین آمیز سلوک کرتے ہیں ، لگ یوں رہا ہے کہ ‘مہاجر’ تاجر طبقہ ان پر سرمایہ کاری کرتا رہے گا
جیو والے بہت سیا نے ہیں ، وہ بندے کو تباہ کرنے کے بعد اس کی چھٹی کرا تے ہیں ، ابھی انہوں نے اپنے تمام سٹاف پر پابندی لگا رکھی تھی کہ کوئی پیشگی اجازت کے بغیر شاہد مسعود کے پروگرام میں نہیں جائے گا
ukpaki:
he is the only anchor in the whole pakistani media who has been distinctive in many ways.
1. he has got disctinction in changing his loyalty very frequently
2. he has got the distinction in interrupting guests every now and then
3. he has got disctinction in irritating viewers by constantly repeating the same question.
4. he has got distinction in giving dates for the fall of govt.
5. he has got distinction in presenting futile philosophy.
6. many times as an anchor this dr. has also played a role of an astrologer when he used to announce dates for the fall of govt. fortunately or unfortunately none of his predictions came true.Bawa:

In his letter, Dr Shahid writes:
“I will be a colleague and a co-worker with some of you very soon in my capacity of ‘CEO and President’ for an upcoming Media Group.”
Geo TV and ARY TV (Mir Shakilur Rahman and Salman Iqbal) must be worried about some of their employees who are currently being lured by Dr Shahid with the help of Hashwani’s black money.

“I must admit that this introduction to Mr. Hashwani or the international consortium is no justice. And I fail in introducing them to the hilt that they deserve an introduction, but I do intend on introducing them in more details that I shall share with all of you soon….It is history in the making, it is a hard task. And I know. I am embarking upon a journey to redefine Media History in Pakistan as we know it. Never before, had a working professional in Media could dream of being a stake holder in equity in a big Media Group before, I am to set the precedence….I thank you once again, for all your support, your prayers and well wishes. I know I could not have been able to do any of this without the blessings of Allah, and all the people who have helped me in my eventful journey including Mir Shakilur Rahman, Mir Ibrahim Rahman and Salman Iqbal….I look forward to your continued feedback and suggestions.”

Hashwani also happens to be a good friend of Hamid Mir although he later retracted the agency-made ‘news’ which he leaked to Mir:
ISLAMABAD, September 16, 2009 (Balochistan Times): Top Hotelier and Chairman of Hashoo Group and Marriott Chain of hotels, Sadruddin Hashwani has termed as incorrect and baseless the impression that he was shifting abroad due to President Asif Ali Zardaris pressure. It is wrong that I am shifting abroad due to pressure of President Zardari. There is neither any pressure on me from the President nor there has been any talk between them in this connection. It may be pointed out that a couple of days back when President Zardari hosted Iftar dinner for journalists, prominent Anchorpersons Hamid Mir told the President that Sadruddin Hashwani was propagating that he left the country because of the President. The President described this impression and Propaganda as baseless. At this the President asked his staffers to connect him with Hashwani in Dubai but the staff could not succeed. Then President Zardari asked the security personnel to bring in the mobile set of Hamid Mir and asked him to get him connected with Sadruddin Hashwani. When Hashwani came on line, he informed the President that there was no truth in the report that he(Hashwani) left the country because of President Zardari. At this the President handed over the set to Hamid Mir who also spoke with Hashwani on the occasion. It may be recalled that Sadruddin Hashwani along with his family shifted to Dubai last month. During this period he had been giving impression to important political leaders and elites that he shifted abroad due to pressure from Aiwan-e-Sadr but now he is denying this impression.

To: The Hashwani Group
HOW MUCH DOES YOUR STAY AT THE PEARL CONTINENTAL COST YOU?
Because the workers who clean the rooms, make the meals and run the hotel only get Rs. 7800 per month for nine hour shifts each day. And, when they tried to organize a union to fight for their rights, some were fired and others thrown in secret prison on false charges. 150 of them are now occupying the basement of the Pearl Continental Hotel to demand that its owners, the Hashwani Group, abide by the law. This is following an attempt by the PC to fire four workers, all union activists. Food has become scarce while they have been on strike and management has refused to allow outside deliveries to be made.
The current Human Resources Director at the PC is a retired Major Zia Jan who came to the PC after busting a union at the Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC). Major Zia recently told the striking workers that they ought to be ashamed of themselves for fighting the PC.
The workers are being filmed and monitored by security. They are afraid that they will soon be subject to Ranger or police brutality. The families of the workers who protested outside the hotel in solidarity have already been baton-charged by the police.
We, the undersigned, demand that the PC Hotel abide by the law and accept the workers’ demands, which are as follows:
1. GIVE US OUR JOBS BACK!
Firing of union activists while negotiations are ongoing is illegal.
2. RECOGNIZE OUR UNION!
The courts already do. It’s time for the PC to abide by the law.
3. COME TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE!
The PC refuses to negotiate the charter of demands. The 2002 and 2006 demands are still pending.

This is a lesson for all those media anchors who think they can disgust the popular leadership by mere character assasiationof them.They did so with Mr. bhutto but he became immortal.They did so with SBB but she is also there in every beat of people’s herat.Shaid Masood crossed every limit to do character assasination of President Zardari but in doing so himself became a symbol of hatred.It is truely said that” He who digs a well for others hismself falls into it”.
With due respect to all, I totally disagree with the title and criticism raised in this forum regarding Dr. Shahid Masood. Using the term “disgraceful” for any patriotic Pakistani is highly impolite. It clearly illustartes our typical Pakistan culture based on professional jealousy, less education, and impationate attitude towards pre-maturely digesting many unpleasent events.
In my opinion. what truly makes Dr. S. M. a special person is his determination. I observed him a person who does not settle for anything less than the best. He is a very fine researcher in his present field. He would
encourage his guests during discussion and is a role model for younger anchors and news investigator. Blaming that he is a military’s blue-eyed boy is totally redicolous. Even if he is, so what. This is our military and we should be proud of Pakistan Army rather than criticizing it and making the lives of Pakistan’s enemies easier. In addition, Dr. S. Masood’s ability of taking frequent risks in building up his professional career and stand still on his opinion gives him an edge over his counterparts.
Dr. S. M. is capable of establishing a wonderful rapport with people of all ages. His ability to connect with his guests or participants to discuss simple issues, as well as more advanced topics, are truly
superior.
Compared to other anchors I liked his excellent communication skills. Additionally, he is extremely organized, and seems to be a reliable person. Dr. S. M. does not need the help of any media giant to come on top. I am sure he can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done.
If he has decided to join another media group, he will have done this with a faith just to work for producing the best. If the new media group assigns him any duties, I strongly believe that he will accomplish his undertakings with great initiative and with a very positive attitude.
Last but not the least, Insha Allah, Dr. S. M. will be a success he choices to do because of his work ethic, determination, and the quality of individual that he is.
he is da best …..wo logo ki chaplooosi nahi kr sakte is liye log un k against hain …
n rahi bat journalist ki to wo log un se jealous hain becaues jo success logo ko 40 50 saaal mai nahi milti wo inko 5 6 years mai mil gai hain n agar phir bhi kise ko takleeeeeef ya koi questions hain including admin jinho ne mostly against likha hain Dr sahab k bare mai to contact me on my Fb group

i ‘ll answers all these bloody shit fake speculations .
Dr A shah awesome commnts totally agree wid u ..
love u
It is very correct that Hashwani has fled to Dubai due to the pressure of Asif Ali Zardari. This rumor is being spred by Hashwani himself. If People remember during the last regeime of PPP the Hashwani family had fled to Uk & stayed there till the end of PPP Government. So there is no doubt about that.
Bht afsos ki bat ha me ny sb k comments parhy pta nhi q hmary mulk me riwaj ho gya ha k hm sy kisi ki truckki brdasht nhi hoti jo log is trha ki batain krty ha wo apny girebaan me jhank kr q nhi daikhty ye izzat or zillat khuda ki dain ha,ye us parwrdigar ki nzr-e-krm ha k wo farsh ko arsh kr dy Dr.shahid masood me koi na koi to khas bat thi jo Allah ny unko shohrat ata ki wrna media me beshumar aisy log ha jo salon sy kam kr rhy han pr wo aisi shohrat nhi pa skay or dr. Sahb bakol ap logon journlist na hony k bawjod itni shohrat pa gaye han or dosri bat ye k tasweer ka hmesha munfi pehlu hi nhi daikhna chahiye
Dr Shahid Masood was not fired. I can’t beleive the lies being spoken on this page. Look at the facts.. which decent talkshaw is aired on ARY now, compared to other channels. “Off the record”. and that it is. If ARY were going to sack him, they would have had a subsitute. There is no program on the 10 pm slot and its been months since Views on News finished. Dr. Shahid’s program was 1hr and 15mins duration (inc. breaks). That just tells you how popular he was. I think there are too many liberal facists on this site!
This is such a amazing thing that everyone want to criticize dr. sahib. I am 100 percent agreed with Dr. A. Shah. Shahid Masood do not compromise on principals thats why he has to leave these positions. As far as Geo and ARY group is concerned, they are just money making machines. And what else you could expect from them
There is no need to talk about one person all the time (i mean Zar Dari)it is waist of time, there is thousand of young people needs you, we need to advise people to choose the right person in selection, there should be such programs and focus on one point , our single vote has power to change our lives
Never liked him, does not matter to me one way or other.
We should encourage different views no matter how much it hurts us because it is good for our country.Country is like a home where if any one is doing wrong should either prove himself innocent or fight in court.If NRO was not contested and court want to implement it why the Government is resisting it.I think Dr.Shahid took a stand on it and did not move on it despite ;pressure of all kinds including life threat which is disgusting.Come on guys.Truth can be supressed but never finished.Killing of Imam Hussain did not finish Islam.Think.
For all of you guys out here: No one in Pakistani media is even close to Dr Shahid’s investigative journalism abilities……He was the one who could not be bought that’s why could not settle unlike other media anchors, a lot of who are nothing more than blackmailers, foreign agents & hired advocates to the worst people in our society…
He once was a journalist , turned into an asset for military establishment , then acted as a poitical actor , then as a predictor ( najoomi ). Itney roles ke baad jouranlism to kaheen peechey reh geyee. Perhaps institutions has realized that now perhaps they need only journalist and said good by DR. Sb.
dr shahid masood is the best researcher and pride of pakistan ,other journalists are jealous of his fame + he is anti zardari.he accepted the famous Geo and Ary networks only to let the most people know that what is true. anyways i am sure he will be back soon with his best research.dont worry dr sahib v all are with you.we know you are true Pakistani
Needless to say that Dr Shahid has set new standards of professionalism & research based journalism.
Every single Pakistani (including factions from PPP within) knows well the ugly face of Zardari traitor & Co.
Despite his many faults, TV viewers in Saudi Arabia remained glued to his shows and adjusted their own schedules accordingly. Guests vied with one another to be invited to his shows, although he had a preference for some hacks and hypocrites like Hameed Gul and other born-again Islamists.
Whenever he makes a come-back, you can be sure he will be able to draw viewers to his shows as in earlier days while hosting “Mere Mutabiq” or “Views on News”. Who can forget
the vivid first-hand clips that he sent from Beirut when the
city was being bombed and destroyed by Israel?
apka ka kia hal hai ma apka brda fine ho ma ap sy milna chahta ho plz apna contect dai so my contect no 03016960331
All the TV anchors are our asset as well as Dr. Shahid Masoud. The critisism on him is baseless as every one has right to determine and focus on his justified objectives. This become our national entheme to critisize anyone if he/she did not match with our views.
He himself is a man with no chracter.
As a Pakistani myself living in London, I look at Pakistani as country and think why are so many of you like you are??
Full of spitefullness, cheats, greed, jealousy – where all the rich fill their pockets, where Politicians are happy to take pictures ‘pretending’ to help the poor (just for publicity)- and then sit in huge palaces and mansions without giving penny.
How can these Politicans and the so called ‘powerfull people running pakistan’ eat and sleep with so much money in their trousers when the population are dieing of diseases due to lack of food and water, etc.
You have a presenters like Dr Shahid Masood – who is direct and is not afraid to bring these issues to the table. I can conclude that ‘Dark forces’ are behind his firing.
If you speak up – these ‘powerfull forces’ will use every means possible to close youre mouth.
His program was excellent!!! Big big loss….all you have now are the ‘puppets’ running the Station.
I am waiting to see his program. Was so disappointed not to see him on Fridays and Saturdays. Do not think his program’s rating was going down but I think that some MFs do not like his face. Get yr own show and sell them to any TV who wants it. You have a great group in favor of you so let all the other MFs go to hell
It’s been a long, long time since I’ve read quality content like your article. You’ve done good work on this and I’m impressed with your point of view. Good job.
