Some rambling thoughts on Dr Shahid Masood’s hair transplant and Meray Mutabiq – by Kaleem Butt
If one is asked to name one media personality hosting a TV show whose presentations now a days are totally lacking in objectivity, fairness, sense of proportion and balance, one name pops up and that is Dr Shahid Masood.
The man was not half so bad during his ARY days when he used to hold court with such luminaries of faith as Justice (R) Javaid Iqbal and Dr Israr Ahmed. Topics of discourse used to be metaphysical in nature; existence of “Jinns” or life hereafter, and whether “sharaab” is totally forbidden, or there exists some loophole through which a man of faith can sometimes imbibe, if his fancy desires a little intoxication. (Amusingly, if I remember right, Justice (R) Javaid Iqbal favoured the latter view).
Now despite or most probably because of religious tilt of his programmes, Dr Shahid Masood had some following and was considered a relatively respectable name among media personalities. However, something subsequently happened and completely transformed this man. What demons are torturing his tormented soul and how they would be exorcised remains to be seen. But a fair amount of his admirers (including myself) felt betrayed by transformation of this decent man into some unrecognisable monstrosity and left in droves. (For example, I and many of my friends and acquaintances have stopped watching “Mere Mutabiq”).
However, what after a long time attracted me to this programme this afternoon (I watched repeat offering since Saturday night is exclusive for other cultural activities) was the presence of Senator Syed Faisal Raza Abidi in the programme. Now here is the type of man PPP would do well to have some more; aggressive, logical and most importantly unapologetical for his loyalty to leadership and the party. And he has slain many big mouthed politicians and talk show hosts with his well placed quotes of Hazrat Ali. One hopes to see him more often dismantling and dispatching some of the notables of anti-PPP lobby to smithereens. What a delight!
Well, coming back to the programme under review, all participants were type cast. Dr Shahid Masood did not disappoint. In spite of supposedly moderating the show, he was in open support of Ansar Abbasi and was fully devoid of any sense of fairness, balance, objectivity or impartiality. Hatred for PPP was oozing out of his every pore. Interestingly enough, at the start of the programme I could not decide upon physical change in his appearance which was quite discernible. Someone suggested hair transplant, the other was of the view that extracurricular activities in Thailand or wherever he is hiding now a days have changed his demeanor. However consensus emerged on hair transplant and left one wondering whether the traits of objectivity, impartiality, balance, even-handedness and fairness could be transplanted back in a once decent man and his calling.
Dr. Shadid M is totally biased towards PPP.I like to watch his programm because he brings some stories(dastaanay) from history and mythology , tactfully bridging those stories to Mr. Zardari.At this point ,i loose my interest in his episode beacuse after this ,he took calls from Anti PPP guests(Haroon R, S sahbai ,etc). These guyz eloborate their well repeated thoughts about PPP.I love to watch that how these ‘guyz” cry over and over.
I watched this programm, Mr Faisal Raza Abdi nock out both Mr Suwar Ansar Abbasi and Child Kidnapper Shahid Masod,
Please also upload Shahid Masood’s pic with old hair style in order to compare LOL…what a joker!
In Pakistani journalism, there always have remained rifts, politics, differences and skirmishes, but with the advent of the electronic media and the power achieved by the anchorpersons and the investigative reporting, new circles have materialized on the media horizon. The old school journalists are still living in the 80’s and 90’s, as claimed by the new media journalists. Both are hurling mud towards each other and new stories of corruptions, perks, privileges and plots are surfacing. Nazir Naji a senior journalist / analyst blames that Shaheen Sehbai, Shahid Masood, and Ansar Abbasi are conspiring with the agencies to topple the Zardari regime and to pave the way for either Martial Law or for some another neutral setup
I am referring to Dr. Shahid Masood. The first public critic came in August 08 when he wrote his article about Musharraf’s resignation, he stated that he shook hands with Musharraf, talked to him, and blah blah, whereas this claim was first disproved by SAMAA TV’s senior producer who wrote a letter to Daily Jang and explained that Dr. Shahid Masood in fact was not present in that hall. This was also disproved by the Musharraf’s spokesmen and this column was fictitious.
Dr. Shahid Masood was still in rumors that he may resign PTV and others, it all got cleared when Dr. Shahid Masood was brought into Jawab Deh by Iftikhar Ahmad in 23 Nov Episode. Dr. Shahid again made many claims and most of the them were also disproved later in Aaj Kamran Khan Kay Saath”.
Other false claims are:
1. “Dr. Ishrat ul Ibad was my class fellow”, Sources rejected the claim
2. “Dialogue(think tank) was self financed”, one of the attendee rejected the claim and reported that Dr. Shahid Masood paid all accommodation and travel expenses.
Ref: “Aaj Kamran Khan Kay Saath” November 24 Episode.
Dr Shahid Masood is a liar.
Complete story of that above affair is as under [with precious video clips and guess what those who exposed Dr Shahid Msood in Jang Group are nowadays Dr Shahid’s Regular Guests e.g. Ansar Abbasi and Shaheen Sehbai]
Kamran Khan lied through his teeth by saying that Dr. Shahid Masood’s words against Sindhi Culture were Unintentional. When something goes ON AIR you [GEO TV] better own it that these were the Real Intentions of GEO TV. Lets assume that Kamran Khan is right and words slipped out from the mouth of Shahid Masood unintentionally then how would you define the same Kamran Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed and GEO TV’s videos exposing Dr Shahid Masood??. Were these GEO TV Programs unintentional as well, watch the videos of same Kamran Khan trashing Shahid Masood on GEO TV. GEO TV/JANG GROUP: Lies of Kamran Khan.

faisal abidi did exactly what they deserve. dr shahid masood & ansar taking on abidi. it sounds silly but i have just realized that dr masood was the host and abbasi and faisal abidi were the guest.
anyway geo should have brought shaheen shebai and kamran khan too , i’m abidi would have handle all of them alone.
Shahid Masood is ‘azad’ media’s ‘maadar-pidar azad’ anchor.
General Shahid Aziz and Dr Shahid Masood?????
During the Kargil conflict of 1999, he served as DG of the ISI’s Analysis Wing. That same year, he was appointed to the role of DG Military Operations where he played a crucial role in the counter-coup that brought President Musharraf to power.

ISLAMABAD: Former National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Lt Gen (rtd) Shahid Aziz said the Bureau is legally not subordinate to anyone, Geo News reported Sunday. Talking to Geo News in ‘Mere Mutabiq’, he said the NAB is authorized for probe of cases on its own and can directly enter deal with Interpol and foreign investigative agencies. Aziz said the NAB was practically under the Prime Minister and everything including finance, holidays, movement were under PM control; however, for cases investigation, the Bureau was independent. The same is enshrined in the NAB law that the NAB can directly deal with all foreign law and investigative agencies including Interpol, he asserted.

The house was also not furnished. He said the house had air conditioners and heaters, rented it at Rs 70,000 per month instead of Rs 50,000 rupees and its rent was paid by the NAB. He rejected the allegation that he had stolen furniture while vacating the house. He said he had no house when he was transferred to Lahore and used to live at the house of his daughter.
The man, who rigged 2002 polls, spills the beans By Umar Cheema Sunday, February 24, 2008 http://www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=13159
ISLAMABAD: The main wheeler and dealer of the ISI during the 2002 elections, the then Maj-Gen Ehtesham Zamir, now retired, has come out of the closet and admitted his guilt of manipulating the 2002 elections, and has directly blamed Gen Musharraf for ordering so. Talking to The News, the head of the ISI’s political cell in 2002, admitted manipulating the last elections at the behest of President Musharraf and termed the defeat of the King’s party, the PML-Q, this time “a reaction of the unnatural dispensation (installed in 2002).” Zamir said the ISI together with the NAB was instrumental in pressing the lawmakers to join the pro-Musharraf camp to form the government to support his stay in power. Looking down back into the memory lane and recalling his blunders which, he admitted, had pushed the country back instead of taking it forward, Zamir feels ashamed of his role and conduct. Massively embarrassed because he was the one who negotiated, coerced and did all the dirty work, the retired Maj-Gen said he was not in a position to become a preacher now when his own past was tainted.
He said the country would not have faced such regression had the political management was not carried out by the ISI in 2002. But he also put some responsibility of the political disaster on the PML-Q as well. The former No: 2 of the ISI called for the closure of political cell in the agency, confessing that it was part of the problem due to its involvement in forging unnatural alliances, contrary to public wishes. Zamir’s blaming Musharraf for creating this unnatural alliance rings true as another former top associate of Musharraf, Lt-Gen (retd) Jamshed Gulzar Kiyani has already disclosed that majority of the corps commanders, in several meetings, had opposed Musharraf’s decision of patronising the leadership of the King’s party. “We had urged Musharraf many times during the corps commanders meeting that the PML-Q leadership was the most condemned and castigated personalities. They are the worst politicians who remained involved in co-operative scandals and writing off loans. But Musharraf never heard our advice,” Kiyani said while recalling discussions in their high profile meetings.
He said one of their colleagues, who was an accountability chief at that time, had sought permission many times for proceeding against the King’s party top leaders but was always denied. Kiyani asked Musharraf to quit, the sooner the better, as otherwise the country would be in a serious trouble. Ma-Gen (retd) Ehtesham Zamir termed the 2008 elections ‘fairer than 2002’. He said the reason behind their fairness is that there was relatively less interference of intelligence agencies this time as compared to the last time. But he stopped short of saying that there was zero interference in the 2008 polls. “You are quite right,” he said when asked to confirm about heavy penetration of ISI into political affairs during the 2002 elections. But he said he did not do it on his own but on the directives issued by the government. Asked who directed him from the government side and if there was somebody else, not President Musharraf, he said: “Obviously on the directives of President Musharraf.” Asked if he then never felt that he was committing a crime by manipulating political business at the cost of public wishes, he said: “Who should I have told except myself. Could I have asked Musharraf about this? I was a serving officer and I did what I was told to do. I never felt this need during the service to question anyone senior to me,” he said and added that he could not defend his acts now.
“It was for this reason that I have never tried to preach others what I did not practice. But I am of the view that the ISI’s political cell should be closed for good by revoking executive orders issued in 1975,” he said. Responding to a question regarding corruption cases that were used as pressure tactics on lawmakers, he said: “Yes! This tool was used, not only by the ISI. The NAB was also involved in this exercise.” Former corps commander of Rawalpindi, Lt-Gen (retd) Jamshed Gulzar Kiyani said majority of corps commanders had continued opposing Musharraf’s alliance with top leadership of the PML-Q. “Not just in one meeting, we opposed his alignment with these corrupt politicians in many meetings but who cared. Now Musharraf has been disgraced everywhere, thanks to his political cronies.”
