Dawn News sacked reporter on Corruption charges. True or not?
samina.reporter
Anyone know what really happened with Shahzad Raza, senior reporter of Dawn News? Insiders are saying that he got fired recently on corruption charges
of around Rs. 15 lac. Dawn TV channel who got fame in highlighting so-called
corruption of fellow journalists by hosting ApnaGareban show, is silent on this
issue but there are speculations of his involvement in yellow journalism
activities such as taking bribes just for one interview of Ch. Shujaat, PML-Q
leader and after internal inquiry by TV Management, he is proven guilty of
corruption and thus terminated. If true, it is really very shameful for all of
us. Union leaders are requested for proper inquiry of this incident which was
happened in March. Interestingly, Shahzad Raza who joined
Dawn News in 2006 is close friend of Matiullah Jan, host of ApnaGareban and his
partner in many ventures.

Please do not give a clean license to Shahzad Raza or Matiullah jan. Stories of
corruption of Matiuallh jan are still alive when he was working as Resource
Person in PTV many moons ago. Shahzad is also not angel, even the head of DAWN
TV Mubashir Zaidi has also not taken bath in milk. Clarification given by
Mubashir is only a smoke screen just to keep the scandal within four walls.
Story of corruption of Shahazad is very much correct. You better ask Amber
Saigol or Masood Hamid of DAWN management.
Please stop casting judgment about the innocence of anybody without knowing

There is no question about Shahzad's reporting or his repute or gentlemanship

Sb, is Dawn a bad option to work for most prolific reporters in the
industry and why Dawn TV is letting its asset to
explore more good options?
It is on record that Dawn Islamabad has provided all
proofs to Karachi Office that he got bribe including Sliver Vits Car for taking
interview of Ch. Shujaat. Please confirm it from PML-Q or ask Hamid Haroon and Amber
Saigol, owner of dawn. They have complete file of allegations against him.

Dear Irfan,
Apna Garbaan show was closed because of reporter Irfan Raza who is brother of same
Shahzad Raza, having CDA beat in Dawn newspaper and Matiullah Jan was showing
how CDA allotted KHOKHA (shops) to some blue-eyed yellow journalists.
The clarification by Editor of Dawn TV and extreme anger shown by his sect people on his direction have proven that they believe in cronyism and can go to any length to deceive the people. What's the credibility of Dawn if its Editor publicly disgraces his TV Channel by saying "we believe every one has the right to explore options as we are not running slave organizations where one has to work for life." Amber Saigol and Haroon should take notice for such non-responsible statements being issued from the office of Editor Dawn.
If Shahzad is such a good journalist as claimed by Mubashir Zaidi, why he is not working with Dawn TV even after coming back from the US? Why Shahzad has to explore other options if he was not involved in corruption in Dawn TV? How editor knows Shahzad got his Vitz purchased much before the interview? Editor Dawn News just wants to give a cover to misdeed of so called senior journalists by not writing what is truth?
The bitter truth is the dawn management has concrete evidences and thus fired Shahzad. If Editor Dawn News and his supporters have even a bit of morality they should prefer to resign from "low-standard" Dawn TV channel and join Shahzad to start exploring more options together.
Thanks,

Before I proceed further I want to tell everyone including Mr Mubashir Zaidi
and Mr Mateen Haider ( who uses some other name in his email address) that
neither I am fake nor an imposter. I am a parcticsing Media Consultant based in
Islamabad and rendering service to various national and international outfits
with a vast experience in media industry.
The facts remains there is a group of newly born television journalist in the
country are involved in rampant corruption. Shehzad Raza is no exception.Some
senior journalist both in Islamabad, Karachi and also in Lahore will bear me out
about the rampant corruption among the television reporters.The prime reason of
this massive scale of corruption is very simple. These newly born television
reporters have landed in a profession which provide them too much exposure and
also opportunity to mingle around with important people and decision makers
while their professional knowledge is almost zero.
Television channels and their owners are just giving a blind eye mainly because
they know it is not hurting them.Stories of Matiulah Jan, Mateen Haider,
Mubashir Zaidi are available in the market.Ask about Mateen Haider, Matiulah Jan
and many of those who have worked in PTV before the boom of private channels as
what was their performance and what is their track record of honesty and
professional integrity.
I know many people in newspaper industry and also in television channels who can
come out and give first hand evidence about the corrupt practices of Shehzad,
Mateen, Mati and Zaidi.To keep the record straight I must place on record that
there are many anchors including of DAWN TV who were on the pay rolls of some
important diplomatic missions. Ask the famous Talat Husain that why he left AAJ
TV and blackmailed owners of that channel.
My request is very simple that please do not give passport of honesty and
integrity to all the tv reports. No amount of explanation on the part of
Mubashir Zaidi will change the realities.

I don't know why are you spreading such rumours or on who's behest. You have no
knowledge of DawnNews TV functions where the Editor is incharge of all editorial
matters. So any file reaching Dawn management without the knowledge of the

that you are mentioning, as I was working in Islamabad Bureau at that time. As
far as his exploring other options, we believe every one has the right to
explore options as we are not running slave organizations where one has to work

Rehana Sharif
Dr. Alamgir,
Irfan Raza is not a new comer he has apart from a stall at food street, ha around a dozen kiosks in the city a plot near Shah Allah ditta and a govt. flat that has been rented.
You have rightly pointed out and it is not this new breed even the old guards
are on the toes. M Malik of news has this sporting club at Lake View, his
brother got three promotions in National bank in one year.
Not to speak of Rauf klasra, even khaliq Kiani has recently bought a house for
1.5 crore at 6th road he is also a member of Islamabad Club � that�s an undue
favour from bureaucracy.
We all see that Aizaz Syed is a rich man now what was his social and financial
standing just three years back.
Why should the new chicks not follow these roosters � Mr Shabaz Rana who was
uptill recently struggling to get a decent job and get out of the Nation has a
good plot and a new car within a year of leaving Nation � as he joined Dunya TV
and now is in Express Tribune.
The crime reporters are the jacks of kings, but the most important thing is that
why are all these things not clear to the editors and the whole chain of seniors
are ignorant about these activities.
Do we all not know about Hanif Khalid editor Jang Rwp, Amir Ilyas Rana of
express his ways are more similar to Zia Shahid and Khushnud sahib, but it is
strange that the honourable lot of the Dawn like Mubashar Zaidi, Zafar Abbas,
Farman Ali Beg etc have been tolerating such activities that their reporters
like Khaliq Kiani, Irfan, Shazad etc are millionaires now. There is a need to
follow the theme of Apna Gareban in media.
Thanks,

Many thanks Ms Rehana Sharif for supporting my point of view. At least there
was someone who can speak truth rather than all those who were crying hoarse
till few days ago have now become silent. I am still interested in listening
something from Mubashir Zaidi. Matin Haider and Matiullah Jan in defense of
their colleague who was equally corrupt like his defenders.
My sources have also revealed some inside stories about the gang of Arshad
Sharif and Matiualh Jan along with Shehzad Raza as how he managed the training
program for the US on which his Editor DAWN is glorifying him.
I know there is no point in exposing the corrupt journalist as they enjoy
majority and those speaking truth are in minority. My only request is that if
you are corrupt please go ahead but please do not put a mask of honesty, self
pride, integrity and similar other words which many DAWN TV staffers had used
for their corrupt colleague.

At least I would not speak on this dirty campaign initiated by this so called doctor just directed against Pakistan's most objective neutral and independent TV channel's staffers.
I would briefly say that the names mentioned by u Mr so called doctor, have earned reputation n fame by hard work and not through short cuts in their career and r still salaried class. I would ask u and ur gang stop speaking bullshits now against me and my colleagues.

Shahzad Raza is a well reputed journalist and known for his good stories, not as
friend of Matiullah.
These persons with fake ID's are shameless buffoons with an agenda to malign
journalist community.

Journalist are less corrupt as doctors as they have to reach the spot and none of their assistant ever make story for them like assistant of doctors use to attend the patients. They never induldge in selling the human body organs of their fellow Pakistanis. Journalists, never boycott and put other's life on stake like our respectable doctors did all across the country. But it does not mean that a specific community of professional can be abused. I mean, one must be shamelessly stubborner to use such language against others as a community.

As mentioned before, I truly resent this campaign to tarnish the name of
established journalists. Please remember, we have better things to do in life
than put up with slander on this group which I believe should be dedicated to
productive discussions on professional issues.
With regards.
Yours sincerely,

I will repeat time and again that corruption in Pakistan media is not a issue
which has just come up. It has a long history. They were underpaid and the
owners of the news establishments encouraged them to collect the booties from
outside to compensate their poor wages.
Now in recent years when there is a mushroom growth of private television
channels which has recruited the people with no academic and professional
background has provided a field day to all those to loot and plunder left and
right.
Tell me how is it possible for Kamran Khan of GEO to drive BMW and built a house
in Karachi on 2000 square yards.Similarly Azhar Abbas of Geo who was living in
shabby apartment till few years in Gulshan Eqbal of Karachi has built a modern
bungalow in DHA Karachi and driving SUV with a fleet of guards around him..
Azhar and his other fellow are those who were colleagues who were so called
leftist in recent past. Same is the story of many who have proved the idiom of "
rags to riches".
Journalism had never been a profession of comforts and luxuries of life. The
overnight affluence, prosperity and comfortable living to many jourbnalist is
not through hard earned money but behind all this there is a massive corruption.
My request is please do not play with my patience as I know all the skeltons
which are concealed in every television channels. For Heaven sake Mr Mubashir
Zaidi, Matiullah Jan, Irfan Raza and Mateen Haider and Arshad Sharif to carry on
your mission without making any bones about the universal idealism of honesty
and integrity. That is not your cup of tea.
