Senior British journalist Christina Lamb termed the media reports as “made up” on the social networking site Twitter. She denied the reports of being contacted by anyone in the financial wrongdoing case against Arsalan Iftikhar, the son of Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.

There have been reports that Malik Riaz, the influential real estate tycoon of Pakistan had contacted the Washington Bureau chief of Sunday Times to expose the scandal right when Chief Justice was scheduled to receive the International Jurists Award-2012. The reports also claimed that it was a planned move to malign the Chief Justice who is considered incorruptible.

However, earlier today Christina Lamb tweeted from her account:

@christinalamb:“have no idea how this started but can i clarify i am not planning a big expose on Familygate, have spoken to no one abt it.”

In another tweet she clarified that all the media reports are “made up” and she hasn’t spoken to anyone about the issue.

@christinalamb:“any purported quotes from me on CJ issue are made up, all i know is what i’ve read in the media and have spoken to no one!”

There have been rumors that the son of Chief Justice has received approximately Rs. 400 million (USD 4.25 million) from the Chairman of Bahria Town (in Pakistan), Malik Riaz, to influence the legal proceedings. However, Arsalan Iftikhar has submitted a five-page statement to the court, strongly rejecting any relationship with Malik Riaz.

“I have never met with any one of them (Malik Riaz, his daughter or son-in-law) in relation to any business deal or for any other purpose in Pakistan or outside Pakistan. Therefore, baseless, frivolous and unfounded allegations have been leveled to spread in electronic and print media in absence of any cogent and logical evidence acceptable under the law of evidence so the said allegations are strongly denied,” Iftikhar quoted in his statement.

However, Malik Riaz didn’t appear before the court on Saturday and his personal staff officer informed the court that he was undergoing a medical treatment in the United Kingdom.

Protest over murder of journalist Razzaq Gul - The Express Tribune

QUETTA: Journalists in Quetta protested on Sunday against the murder of journalist Razzaq Gul whose bullet-riddled body was found dumped near his residence in Turbat a day earlier.

Razzaq Gul was a Express News correspondent in Turbat city and had been employed with the organisation for nearly 10 years as a district-based correspondent.

The Balochistan Union of Journalists (BUJ) released a statement on Sunday, saying Gul was the 21st journalist to have lost his life in the line of duty in the restive province.

Activists of Human Rights Commission Pakistan, Balochistan chapter, teachers, relatives of Baloch missing persons and traders also joined the demonstration. The procession began outside the Quetta Press Club. Journalists and HRCP Balochistan called upon the government and judiciary to probe the murder of Razzaq Gul. Protesters chanted slogans against law enforcement agencies for their failure to protect the life of the common people in Balochistan while journalists carried placards and banners inscribed with slogans in support of their demands.

Addressing protesters, Essa Tareen said it has become difficult for professional journalists to perform their duty independently.

Senior Journalist Anwar Sajidi said Balochistan is one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists. “More media persons were killed in Balochistan than in Afghanistan,” he told the protesters. “Balochistan is a war-zone while journalists are not trained and equipped with necessary safety tools needed in a war-zone.”

Quetta Press Club President Saleem Shahid said targeted killings will not bar journalists from their responsibility. “We will not be scared of anything and continue our work with dedication,” he added.
