Top 10 controversies and hypocrisies of Babar Awan:
1- Babar Awan (complete name Zaheeruddin Babar Awan) started his political career from Jamat-e-Islami platform. There are reports that he used to do Farman-e-Elahi program on PTV and used his tongue to rise in power corridors. He is known to have fake PhD degree yet he calls himself as Dr. Babar Awan.
2- Babar Awan then moved into Zia-ul-Haq camp.
He used to make speeches against Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and had distributed sweets on day of his execution.
When PPP chief Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was in jail, Babar demanded hanging of Bhutto in public protests and distributed sweets in Rawalpindi courts on the day of his execution,” Ijazul Haq, the son of the third military ruler, confirmed to The News.
3- Babar Awan was the stage secretary on the first death anniversary of General Zia-ul-Haq. He also walked barefooted from Zia-ul-Haq's tomb at Faisal Masjid to Ijaz-ul-Haq's residence to honor him.
4- With PPP coming into power after Zia's death, Babar Awan moved into PPP camp through Chattha group. Babar Awan fought elections on PPP ticket from KPK in 1997 and from Islamabad in 2002 but lost in both elections. He finally got breakthrough in 2006 as he became a senator on PPP ticket. He was also member of PPP Central Executive Committee.
5- Babar Awan used this legal professional to maximum during illegal tenure of Chief Justice Dogar at Supreme Court. Babar Awan took massive bribes from corrupt clients and got favorable judgements from Justice Dogar through his out of court links. Few examples of such cases are Haris Steel Mill scandal with bribes of 30 million transferred to Babar Awan's account and Islamabad Farms House scandal where around 500 elites supporting Musharraf got farm houses at Chak Shahzad where they built luxury houses.

but fled the scene after explosion with Rehman Malik leaving Benazir and other PPP members vulnerable.

He was distributing millions of rupees of cash at bar councils of different cities on daily basis on behalf of PPP government, however many bar councils refused to accept the bribe and took part in lawyers movement with more passion. He was also insulting the deposed judiciary on daily basis on media actively during Dogar tenure.
8- In 2008, Babar Awan rose to cabinet with portfolios of Law, Justice and IT ministries in PPP tenure. He was later stripped off from ministries and PPP CEC
due to his refusal to support Aitzaz Ahsan as witness in Gillani case.

Dr Shahid Masood AKA Dr Qiayamt Masood
Dr Shahid Masood, a failed medical doctor turned anchor, was appointed in early July as Chairman PTV , a post normally held by Secretary Information. This is his performance record of his three weeks in office.
1. He attends a cordial welcome held by MD PTV Yousaf Baig Mirza, assuring every one of his brotherly relations with the MD. Ten minutes later, he has YBM sacked and takes over additional charge of MD PTV.
2. The Ministry of Information (led by PPP Government’s most powerful Minister Sherry Rehman) tamely gives in to his Unilateral Declaration of Independence.
3. He declares at his first official meeting with working directors, that he is a rightist and has been a senior member of Islami Jamiat-i-Tulba. His colleagues disclose that ex-ISI Chief and Taliban supporter General Hameed Gul is his ideal.

The correspondents have a good laugh. He claims to have built the News City in Chaghi Studio, although it was built several months ago.
9. He decides to hold audience for diplomats and subjects them to his long speeches about himself. Once two ambassadors are called at the same time causing great embarrassment for both PTV and the honourable guests. He serves the ambassadors with KFC chicken pieces with forks and knives!

11. He decides to keep the portfolio of Director Marketing along with the powers of the Chairman and MD.
12. He graciously decides to grant a pay package to the union worth Rs 700 millions although the Finance and Sales directors plead that they don’t have the funds and the budget will go into a huge deficit. The union in return shouts Hail King Masood slogans when the Prime Minister visits the PTV Centre for his address to the nation.
13. He appoints KPMG as auditors to check PTV’s financial position (to blackmail his predecessor) and leaks the story to the press. However he sends the auditors back after a secret dinner meeting with ex MD Yousaf Baig Mirza. The KPMG has to be paid Rs 1 million as per the contract nevertheless.
14. He claims that he is bugging telephones of all key staff.
15. He develops a great liking for all favourites of ex Chairman and MD and offers them new shows and bigger pay packages.

25. He abstains from Information Minister’s meeting at PTV News to discuss arrangements for PM’s address on 19 July afternoon.

28. He calls his staff to issue a letter of termination of Shahid Nadeem, DMD at 1.30 am on Sunday night and the news is run on Express TV around 1 am. Next day, he appears on Aaj TV’s ‘Bolta Pakistan ‘ and claims that the DMD was in charge of the whole affair (a plain lie!). He makes fun of the Information Ministry, the PM’s Staff and PM’s speech on the programme.
29. He decides to run on PTV a programme he used to anchor on Geo TV and orders extensive publicity with shots of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto inserted in the promos. He claims that he has sensitive information of Mohtarma’s and Mr Zardari’s secret meetings with President Musharraf and the C-in-C and that is the secret of his hold over the PPP leadership.
PTV professionals ask when will this reign of terror end?
Army and Civil Govt are on same page and frankly Pakistan needs that ,ISPR tweet and its taken back again shows commitment of Armed forces for the betterment of Pakistan but some how these miscreants wants to make noises so they can be heard and get ratings , My simple question here is
Why no one has talked about recent incident occured in Bahria town where God Knows how many people died ? Is this no news ?
