Axact’s Official Response to the
defamatory article
Axact’s official response to an article published by New York Times reporter in collaboration with its local partner Express Media Group and some other media outlets to hurt the success of BOL (Express Media Group publishes International New York Times in Pakistan).

This is regarding a defamatory article published by New York Times (NYT) regarding Axact.

Axact condemns this story as baseless, substandard, maligning, defamatory, and based on false accusations and merely a figment of imagination published without taking the company’s point of view. Axact will be pursuing strict legal action against the publications and those involved.

It is clarified that NYT in Pakistan is partnered with Express Media Group to publish International NYT in Pakistan and receive earnings from the group. Express Group was under a restraining order and contempt of court proceedings by Sind High Court for publishing a defamatory news item and further from publishing anything detrimental to Axact’s reputation.(Click here to view the courts restraining order). Hence Express Media Group to counter the success of BOL and to circumvent the court order has got this story published via its partner NYT in collaboration with some reporter called Declan Walsh.

It should also be noted that a few months back in a registered criminal case by Axact for Data Theft (Criminal case No.561/2015), Police investigations led to Mr. Sultan Lakhani as the ultimate hidden owner of that company involved in Data theft of Axact and other IT companies and his name was included in the interim police Challan. (Click here to see the police challan mentioning Sultan Lakhani). After which Mr. Sultan also tried to transfer the investigations to another Police department of his choice but on 12th May 2015 that transfer was also suspended by Sind High Court and the criminal investigation again started against Mr. Sultan Lakhani. (Click here to view the request for transfer, transfer orderand court order suspending the transfer).

The story is authored by some reporter Declan Walsh of NYT who was expelled from Pakistan as Persona non-grata by Pakistan Interior Ministry allegedly due to his involvement in damaging Pakistan’s national interests. This reporter has worked and devised a one-sided story without taking any input from the company. A last-minute, haphazard elusive email was sent to the company demanding an immediate response by the next day to which the attorney for Axact responded. Click here to view the response.

Moreover, this reporter has not mentioned the conflict of interest which the NYT has due to its association with Express Media as its revenue source in Pakistan. This necessary disclosure regarding the criminal cases on NYT Partner in Pakistan was deliberately omitted and is an injustice to the reader not expected of a publication like NYT.

In an exemplary display of poor journalistic skills and yellow journalism, the writer quoted references from several imaginary employees to corroborate accusations made out of thin air. None of these accusations have been substantiated with any real proof. Search engines have been used to type ‘fake degrees’ and whatever images have turned up have been portrayed as evidence. Additionally, no proof has been given linking any of these sites and allegations to Axact and widely recognized names such as that of John Kerry have been used to increase the impact of the story. In fact the writer himself admits that when he approached these universities, they denied having any links with Axact. Furthermore, in a glaring display of bias, he didn’t even mention the fact that all these previous published allegations have been more than adequately addressed by Axact earlier in the civil suit 907/2013 filed against GEO and others.

One aspect that stands very clear from all this is that a personal grudge has been displayed by the writer. Parallels laded with negativity have been drawn with the portrayal of positive Pakistan and also including references to the Silicon Valley as if offering world-class facilities to employees is something that we should be ashamed about when it is our pride. This reminds us of the story made by Forbes against NYT reporters of publishing false stories. Click here to read more

All ten business units of Axact are completely legitimate, legal and committed to enhancing the quality of IT services across the world.

From the very first day of announcement of BOL, certain elements have started campaigning against Axact and BOL. The GEO/Jang group and Express Media Group being direct competitors of BOL (initiated by Axact) have started a defamation campaign and other criminal pursuits since last 2 years accusing BOL of belonging to multiple groups, sometimes establishment, sometimes a real estate tycoon and sometimes other controversial personalities and were coining all kind of conspiracy theories. Now they have planned this story in collaboration with this reporter as evident from the fact that within less than 60 seconds of the publishing of this article, these media outlets started spreading this maligning campaign via different means. It is also come to our notice that they are planning with other foreign media groups to publish this story with different angles.

It should be noted that the announcement of BOL as a positive and pro-Pakistan channel in Pakistan who cares for its employees has shaken these traditional media houses who have promoted hatred, despair, negativity and hopelessness in Pakistan. Axact and BOL have vigorously pursued these elements that are desperate to malign BOL and Axact.

BOL has addressed this in the past and the following link on its website gives details of these defamation and other criminal activities and how Axact and BOL have addressed these legally

I believe Its a really good response from the organization. They have explained all the things in detail. I also searched for the author online and got to know that he was reported to have been placed on Pakistan’s official "blacklist" and had been declared “persona non grata”. His visa was cancelled and he was asked to leave the country in 72 hours as quoted on his Wikipedia page. So i would not trust this guy aswell.

 

[Patriots]

So, Either Axact is master in frauds or butthurtness is reaching to whole new level.

I will say master of frauds as I know some people who work in their HQ .........

I just read the entire article The retired agent never quoted anything about P*RN

He just focused the matter of bogus degrees ... He didn't bother about porno ... I think said industry is legal in their country ............

 

[NaMaloom]

And you think anyone is going to investigate Axact in Pakistan? Nope. They are too well connected and have paid off the right people. Obviously there were going to deny the allegations in NewYork Times. Pakistani legal system and regulations are too weak or non-existent to deal with the nature of Axact's fraudulent activities imho. This company should be shutdown and liquidated to pay off the people whom it scammed out of millions of dollars. It is a sad day, when Pakistani companies fall prey to 'easy money' compared to working hard and getting known all over the world for the right reasons.

Declan walsh a shoddy one himself. expelled from Pakistan for his suspicious activities and NYT affiliated with express group.

He was expelled from Pakistan because the ISI did not like what he was investigating in Pakistan. Learn some facts before discharging ignorant farts in the wind.

 

[Amaa'n]

The channel is not even on air yet and such butthurtness by the rivals already.....

 

[slapshot]

I read the response between lines but it doesn't provide any explanation to the allegations made in article, instead they are just blaming it as defamation attempt .

Because Axact is culprit in fact ...............

 

[pak-marine]

 

[slapshot]

Because Axact is culprit in fact ...............

Yeah most probably. I am not a fan of NYT/Express group but even if its a defamation campaign then proper way is to respond to allegations. Just because some one is playing a cheap shot doesn't mean you can sell fake degrees. Their response should provide the answer to allegations and not to play blame game.

 

[Winchester]

The channel is not even on air yet and such butthurtness by the rivals already.....

Not exactly i doubt a major paper like the NY times would have printed this without verifying it to a great degree knowing Axact can sue them for defamation

 

[truthseeker2010]

I can tell you from my personal experience, the offer they gave it to me, a person with so little work experience, one can simple call it a dream package.
