ARY News Khara Sach: Mubasshir Luqman on MQM

Mubashir Luqman of ARY New has come up with yet another attention-grabbing videotape, but this one has been circulated widely across social media already. The video is a short clip that shows confessional statement of Ajmal Pahari, a convicted killer affiliated with MQM. Ajmal Pahari has made several confessions in the video, telling the law enforcers how he was involved in the targeted killing of political workers and even government employees.
I am surprised how Mubashir has changed so quickly. A few months ago, the ARY senior anchor was speaking in favour of Altaf Hussain. Things apparently have changed in the political scene and old friends are now new enemies. Anyway, the videotape is shocking and it has put MQM to shame once again because it talks about some workers given shelter in India and army training to return to Pakistan and carry out terrorist activities.

Most of the videos that the electronic media is displaying these days are not new and they have been shared widely across social media. Ajmal Pahari's confessional video emerged about four years ago and the agencies allowed a limited number of news publications to show his confessions. But MQM had been totally unfazed despite a series of confessional videos of its arrested party workers.

It looks like MQM will have to get rid of the arrested killers and it has done so in the past.
