Journalist Makhdoom Shahab Ud Din released a video message today regarding the expulsion of Senior Journalist Hamid Mir from Geo News after his derogatory comments on the Defense Institution of the country.
Makhdoom showed his proponency of this expulsion and said that Hamid Mir has been passing comments of such nature previously as well and his agenda has been the same as of anti-Pakistan elements but he was not expelled then. This time he crossed the red-line and his allegations were extremely derogatory, shameless, and below the belt and that is why he got expelled from the famous longest-running show Capital Talk.
The young journalist further added that other anti-establishment journalists including Hamid Mir himself have not expressed anything which shows the involvement of the establishment in Mir’s expulsion. Shahab stated that the reason behind his expulsion was his rejection by the public because he tried to defame the Armed forces. It was an independent decision of Geo News without any pressure, and it was all because Mir had lost his reputation in the public eye.
He further compared Hamid with other journalists Talat Hussain and Najam Sethi, saying that anti-establishment journalists had been rejected by the public previously as well. Hamid Mir will now cry and say “Mujhe Kyun Nikala?” he commented. Makhdoom Shahab Ud Din reiterated that now the public has rejected him due to which his era has finished and now from whatever platform he tries to make a comeback, people will reject him there too.
