00:00What is the standing of Mateeullah Jaan as a comrade?
00:10He has no standing.
00:12What is the standing of Mateeullah Jaan as a comrade?
00:25Mateeullah Jaan has been arrested and returned after 12 hours.
00:30And he is fine.
00:33There are many questions that arise when he is arrested.
00:381. Will a journalist like Mateeullah Jaan continue to be arrested?
00:432. Will anyone tell the truth?
00:453. Will we know the truth?
00:48To know the truth, you have to go back in time.
00:52The beginning of a journalist's story is always connected to the past.
00:56The year was 2010.
00:58The country was Pakistan.
01:00And the journalist was Umar Cheema,
01:02who is associated with Pakistan's famous newspaper, The News.
01:07The journalist is arrested.
01:10And during the arrest, he is tortured.
01:14His head and moustache are shaved.
01:19The journalist is released after a few days.
01:23And he is accused by the Pakistani agency, ISI.
01:28But no evidence or witness can be presented.
01:32And the accusation continues.
01:35Famous international journalist, Syed Salim Shehzad,
01:40who was associated with Mandi Bahauddin in Punjab,
01:44was found dead in the Upper Jhelum Canal in May 2011.
01:50Local people took his body out of the water.
01:53The reason for his death is said to be torture.
01:56The deceased's car was also found near the canal.
02:00According to the English newspaper, Dawn,
02:04the deceased journalist was picked up by the ISI
02:07and later brutally killed.
02:10An official of the agency strongly denied this accusation
02:14and expressed deep sorrow and regret over his death.
02:18Prior to this incident, the agency had accused the deceased journalist
02:23that he was on the Taliban's hit list.
02:26But still, the accusation came to the ISI.
02:30In April 2014, two unknown people,
02:33a famous journalist and an anchor person,
02:36attacked Hamid Mir with pistols.
02:41Famous journalist was injured.
02:43Pakistan's famous news channel, Jio News,
02:46without any investigation,
02:48accused the ISI of this incident.
02:51In April 2014, the ISPR condemned this incident
02:55in harsh words and rejected all the accusations against the ISI.
03:01But the civil society, human rights organizations,
03:04journalistic organizations and other people
03:07were not ready to accept this accusation.
03:10The next day of the attack,
03:12this news was published in Sheh Surkhiyon,
03:15a famous Pakistani newspaper.
03:17It was said that protests against Jio and Jio
03:20started all over Pakistan.
03:22The common Pakistani ISI and Pak Army
03:25were on the streets to protest.
03:28In these protests, Jio and Jio's employees were harassed
03:32and the DSNGs of Jio News were harmed.
03:35All these incidents added to the good name
03:38and also added to the bad name.
03:41The more you condemn, the lesser it is.
03:44Jio and Jio's employees are a part of this country
03:47and are citizens of this pure land
03:50and will always be.
03:52Whatever happened,
03:53the employees of the famous ISI
03:55have the same rights
03:57that all other Pakistani citizens have.
04:00They cannot be separated from Pakistan.
04:04Anyway, let's move ahead.
04:06In May 2014,
04:07a month later,
04:08the famous newspaper Jung
04:10apologized for its news.
04:12After that,
04:13a Judicial Commission was formed on this incident.
04:16If we go back to the past,
04:19in April 2016,
04:21the Judicial Commission's report proved
04:23that all the accusations against the national agency
04:26were baseless.
04:28Jung, Jio and Hamid Mir
04:30were unable to provide any solid evidence.
04:34In 2017,
04:35according to a report by Express Tribune,
04:38a retired ISI official was arrested
04:41by Hamid Mir in a police station in Islamabad
04:44and was later charged with murder.
04:47According to Hamid Mir,
04:48this case was formed in 2010
04:50and the courts had even acquitted him.
04:54In 2017,
04:55after the re-enactment of this case,
04:57an attempt was made to suppress his voice.
05:01Numerous incidents like the Maskura Bala incident
05:04have been recorded in the past.
05:06In which,
05:07allegations were made against the Pakistani agency
05:10but no evidence or witness could be presented.
05:13In fact,
05:14the agencies have always been called
05:16the biggest culprits of all these allegations.
05:19When Mateeullah Jant was being kidnapped
05:23why did he throw his mobile phone?
05:25In a school where his wife is serving as a teacher
05:30and he went there to pick her up.
05:32Whereas,
05:33one of the teachers of the school
05:35picked up the same mobile phone
05:37and gave it to him
05:39on the demand of the kidnapper.
05:42So,
05:43is tweeting about his son
05:45from the tutor account
05:47of Mateeullah Jant
05:48in a password-protected mobile
05:50and claiming that
05:51his father has been kidnapped
05:55and it is possible to demand
05:57that the agencies be held responsible
06:00for this kidnapping?
06:02By the way,
06:03who did he demand from?
06:044.
06:05After all these incidents,
06:08why are the allegations made?
06:11The Minister of Human Rights
06:14of the Government,
06:15Respected Shireen Mazari Sahiba's daughter,
06:17Akhtar Sahiba,
06:18was seen promoting
06:19Mateeullah Jant's YouTube channel.
06:22Wasn't all this done
06:24to promote the YouTube channel?
06:26So that unemployment
06:27can be increased
06:28in the income of the journalist?
06:305.
06:31In the past,
06:32the accused have been involved
06:34in harassment
06:35against the Pak Army,
06:36the agencies
06:37and the Supreme Court.
06:38But,
06:39the government and the court
06:40take notices
06:41on their kidnapping
06:43and the orders are issued.
06:47Remember,
06:48this is the same court
06:49against which
06:50the accused
06:51have been present
06:52in Harza Sarai
06:53and now,
06:54they are not tired
06:55of thanking
06:56the accused
06:57for their innocence.
06:586.
06:59By the way,
07:00the accused,
07:01Mateeullah Jant,
07:02is also being sued
07:03by the Supreme Court.
07:05Despite being
07:06a serious case against you,
07:08if the court
07:09takes notice
07:10on your kidnapping,
07:11then this is the greatness
07:12of the Supreme Court
07:13that it gives you
07:14the respect
07:15of this country.
07:177.
07:18The government machinery
07:19of Pakistan
07:20also comes into action
07:21for you.
07:22But,
07:23you seem to be
07:24sitting somewhere
07:25else
07:26away from
07:27your responsibilities
07:28as a journalist.
07:29After 12 hours,
07:30you get released
07:31and meet
07:32your journalist friend,
07:33Aiza Syed.
07:34And,
07:35as soon as you meet him,
07:36you take a selfie
07:37and upload it
07:38on social media.
07:40If someone
07:41gets angry
07:42or gets lost,
07:43first of all,
07:44the people
07:45close to them
07:46get to know about it.
07:47And,
07:48when they return,
07:49their family
07:50comes to receive them.
07:51But,
07:52here,
07:53the matter
07:54is different.
07:55Maybe,
07:56the accusation
07:57was an attempt
07:58to fill the gaps.
07:59The Pakistani nation
08:00has been complained
08:01about.
08:02Every mistake
08:03or error
08:04is blamed
08:05on others
08:06without
08:07thinking about it.
08:08In the case
08:09of Mateeullah Jant,
08:10there is also
08:11a similar
08:12case.
08:13In the end,
08:14we just have to
08:15bring forward
08:16the positive
08:17aspects
08:18along with
08:19the softness
08:20in our
08:21social attitudes
08:22so that
08:23our country
08:24can rule
08:25on the path
08:26of progress.
08:27Pakistan,
08:28Paindabad.
