Sex scandal: No name mentioned but Imran insists it was about him

Just like someone is so lost in his self perceived self-righteousness..
P:S.I am well placed and earn handsomely Alhamdulillah. I don't drive taxies or work on pizza shops or delivery services as most of English desi crowd here. :)

You have the nerve to insult expats in that way? Have some shame for God sake man.

I knew people here that would drive 1 hour 40 mins to a cab office even before their day begins, these people lived as 4 or 5 in a one bedroom apartment.
These people away from their families, making a hustle to make a living here. These taxi drivers send money home in vast quantities propping up what's left of your useless and pathetic economy.

Your loyalty to noon league knows no bounds, it's irrational the kind of support you give, seriously.

I just showed him the mirror when he tried to throw a stone at me. Btw If I am speaking anything wrong, please feel free to correct me. Some of my personal friends have done the same. Ever wonder why UK government has increased visa restrictions on Pakistanis?

Meray bhai, These people send money back not primarily because of their love for the country but because these people have families to feed here. Take their families out and you'll see how much love these people have for Pakistan in practical. There are examples for people who came back to give back to their land but these are only far and few. One of our directors told me the story of darkest financial hours (1999) when we virtually defaulted. He said that as soon as Pakistan conducted her tests, these Pakistanis were the first ones to withdraw money from their foreign currency accounts, inducing a panic and forcing SBP to freeze the accounts. Let me also give you an example of a country where people don't make tall claims but their acts depict their sincerity to their land. A year or two back, Japan was hit by the devastating tsunami (a real tsunami, not that of Pakistan's). The industrial base was severly damaged. Just as we were expecting Japanese currency to weaken, the currency took an opposite turn. I reached out to one of the market player and he told me that the Japanese have started to repatriate their money back to Japan, this has released the pressure on Japanese Yen and supporting it against speculation and depreciation. Then when i explored it further then I came across a saying about Japanese is that an average granny in Japan will bring her money back when the country needs it. Some people have legitimate causes, I do recognize it, but the hype that these people create is clearly overblown because when it came to a test, these people weren't there. I can qoute you some more examples, but that would make this point more political, which I don't want.

Well probably you guys are quite neutral to judge mine.........ryt?

you turned a personal squabble in to insulting what you see as his kind, you insulted a group of people, myself included.

Indeed, they feed people of a country who cannot feed their own people. and whatever their purpose, their money props up your economy. It is not at all selfish or wrong to send money home to help your own, the effect is the same.

If you want I can tell you where I as an individual have been sending money home, but not here, you can PM me for that.

There are examples for people who came back to give back to their land but these are only far and few.

That's to be expected, people come here to settle and to live, very few if at all plan to return.

One of our directors told me the story of darkest financial hours (1999) when we virtually defaulted. He said that as soon as Pakistan conducted her tests, these Pakistanis were the first ones to withdraw money from their foreign currency accounts, inducing a panic and forcing SBP to freeze the accounts.

I want to remind you who these people are.

These people are the very people who come from a land where patriots don't pay their taxes, the land of the corrupt. The land of the lazy. Taking them out of Pakistan doesn't change them, might change their situation, won't change them.

This is why in this nation (and you'll note how I've been saying this on this forum since day one) British Pakistanis have much to learn from the world.

Let me also give you an example of a country where people don't make tall claims but their acts depict their sincerity to their land. A year or two back, Japan was hit by the devastating tsunami (a real tsunami, not that of Pakistan's). The industrial base was severly damaged. Just as we were expecting Japanese currency to weaken, the currency took an opposite turn. I reached out to one of the market player and he told me that the Japanese have started to repatriate their money back to Japan, this has released the pressure on Japanese Yen and supporting it against speculation and depreciation. Then when i explored it further then I came across a saying about Japanese is that an average granny in Japan will bring her money back when the country needs it.

You also have to understand the Japs are successful people, hard working, educated and masters of their domain. They are wealthy too and afford to send money home. You yourself states the economic state of some expats, they can barely spare a dime, but they do so anyway.

And I do agree with you, expat Pakistanis should have backed Pakistan when it was in it's time of need but what do you expect, they are only Pakistanis after all? They wouldn't be paying taxes if they were back home, they would abusing the system to their own gain.

But not all are like this, and if even one isn't, you are wrong to think this way. And whatever you feel about expats, insults are not welcome.

Some people have legitimate causes, I do recognize it, but the hype that these people create is clearly overblown because when it came to a test, these people weren't there. I can qoute you some more examples, but that would make this point more political, which I don't want.

You're not telling me anything I don't know already, I know it's not charity, sending money back home and I know how Pakistanis put themselves before each other and their country, that's nothing new at all.

Well probably you guys are quite neutral to judge mine.........ryt?

Yes, unfortunately, that's one of the things that comes with the job. We have to be neutral, otherwise it's misconduct.

Slightly off topic but nonetheless a clarification is required. TO send money back there are two ways:

1) Official - Via Banks & Exchange houses - The remitted country gets foreign exchange. Lower rate plus transfer charges.
2) Unofficial - Hundi / Hawala- Rates are better, and no transfer charges, but it does not help the country the money is being remitted to. NO foreign exchange.

Most people I know send via official channels, they opt for a lower rate, so that they can help their country, in whatever way possible.

For those sitting in Pakistan, it is very difficult to understand the patriotism of an expat.

IF you don't believe me, ask anyone to go to Habib Bank Ltd (one of the crappiest bank in Dubai), at the beginning of the month, and see the number of taxi drivers sending money back home.

Do you mean exchange rate or the charges? because SBP had launched PRI for the very same purpose whereby SBP reimburses the bank remittance charges so that the bank doesn''t charge any for remmiter plus there is no tax on remittance.....

Actually both. The unofficial rate is always better, secondly should one send less than $100 a transfer charge applies, with some FI's. With others, although no charges on remittances of less than $100, but the rates are not good.

Bottom line - it is heartening to see, blue collar workers standing in line to remit via official channels. For you and me a $8/$10/$15 charge might not mean anything, but for them it definitely counts.
 
ISLAMABAD: Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan has been hitting the roof since April 29 when a tweet about the pregnancy of a 21-year-old girl by a political leader surfaced. No name was named but Imran vehemently insists that it was about him.



There was hardly any talk show that he attended in which he didn’t let the audience know something that the majority didn’t know before, especially those who are not on Twitter or Facebook. In each interview, he acknowledged that the tweet under question was by Umar Cheema (this correspondent) but accused Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman (publisher of the Jang Group) of initiating this ‘attack’ through me. In a press conference on Saturday, he said there are some journalists of this media group who are ‘launched’ when something averse to the top management is uttered.



Before I get to the tweet issue and his allegations, I wish Imran Khan could understand the difference between the PTI and the Jang Group. Speak to any person and he will get to know the editorial freedom that journalists of this group enjoy. In cases, they publicly differ with each other and take divergent positions without questioning each other’s intentions. Hassan Nisar, who writes favourably of the PTI, also belongs to this group. Imran Khan’s favourite anchor, Hamid Mir, is also part and parcel of this organisation. Ansar Abbasi, yet another favourite journalist of the PTI chief, has been affiliated with this publication for more than a decade-and-a-half. Did he ever care to check how many times they were dictated to by the top management?



Imran Khan is also unable to understand that journalists are surrogates of the public. They are considered the guardians of public interest and their job is different from employees of any other organisation. In cases, they have resigned on principled grounds when forced to toe a particular line or prohibited from taking a position they consider right. Imtiaz Alam’s resignation from Express TV is a recent example. Journalism is a profession of intellectuals. A journalist has to be convinced of what he is going to do. If Imran Khan is thick these days with the anchors who are taking advice from a special office, it doesn’t mean that his critics are also working on somebody’s wishes and whims.



As far as the tweet under question is concerned, let me reproduce it first. On April 29 at 9:47pm, I tweeted this: “Pregnancy of a 21-year girl is causing sleepless nights to a leader. His political future in her hands…the most powerful lady these days.” One wonders if there was the name of any politician or hint about any party affiliation. If not, then why did Imran Khan think it was about him? One can only mourn his sagacity.

Sex scandal: No name mentioned but Imran insists it was about him - thenews.com.pk

He used this tweet to settle scores with the Jang Group. Initially, he targeted this media house by throwing the ridiculous allegations of rigging in the general elections. When nobody took his words seriously, Imran said actually his decision of boycotting the media house was motivated by the ‘character assassination’ campaign against him on the social media. Upon insistence, he named me for this and thought I did it on the behest of Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman.



While accusing me of this, he failed to remember my pro-PTI stories that he had been tweeting. Not only Imran, the Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had also been referring to my stories as a testimony of the work his government is doing. Did I do those stories to please him and on the dictations of my publisher?


Although Imran was told through different channels that the tweet was my independent decision and it had nothing to do with the media group to which I belong, he continues to insist otherwise, reflecting his malafide intentions. He is focusing on my tweet altogether forgetting that a somewhat more explicit tweet was done by Murtaza Solangi, former DG Radio Pakistan, on March 26. Also the fact remains that the New York-based Pakistan Post did a report naming Imran Khan. The same was done by India Today. Imran Khan has served a defamation notice to neither newspaper and has been gunning for the Jang Group that carried no such story. I had filed my tweet story a few days ago, but it was not published. For Imran Khan’s information, one of my colleagues, Mumtaz Alvi, filed a story on February 1, 2014 that also carried information about a sex scandal. The report was withheld by our news editor Qamar Abbas for lack of a version. Alvi again filed the story with a version but it could not satisfy our editors and hence it was not carried. One wonders if Imran has any problem with the information only or the information coming from a journalist. Jemima Khan, his ex-wife, tweeted four years back about his vacations in Spain. “I now travel with 3 ipods in place of children- my two boys and my teenage stepdaughter en route to Spain for a week,” her tweet said. “My teenage stepdaughter,” was apparently an oblique reference to Imran’s daughter Tyrian, from Sita White. When a journalist reported that Jemima had been appointed as the legal guardian of Tyrian, the PTI media cell was fuming with anger over it.

How dare you post this. Its a lie like Sita White ! :devil:
