Makhdoom Babar "Amir Mir, hurled and accusation on ISI and Pakistan Army after his brother was attacked by unidentified gunmen in the violence ridden city of Karachi, over the weekend. This is not the first time that Amir Mir has launched such an attack on Pakistan Army. The Gentleman has a great history of such exercises. He is the only person in Pakistan's media community who is living a cool, calm and rather luxurious and uninterrupted life as a journalist and as a Pakistani citizen, yet he has always kept blaming army and ISI of threatening him while nothing actually ever happened to him. Despite this, the great journalist wrote 2 highly poisonous, anti-Pakistan books in which he did the maximum mud-slugging of the Institution of Pakistan Army and its intelligence arm the ISI. Amir Mir's book, "Talibanization of Pakistan: From 9/11 to 26/11" was published by the New Delhi-based Pentagon Press in 2009 while his other book - "The Bhutto Murder Trail: From Waziristan to GHQ" - was published in 2010 again by the New Delhi-based Tranquebar Press, both in English and Hindi. Both books were so poisonous and propagating against the institution of Army and lacked that much facts and substantial evidence that no Pakistani publisher bothered to publish either of the two. The situation left the author with the best available option and that was to turn to the traditional enemies of Pakistan and Pakistan Army; the Indians and the Indians did not disappoint him at all as they not only published his propaganda books very generously but they ran some extra miles and published the book's Hindi version too.
This not all about the patriotic journalist of the patriotic and professional media organization but if people have forgotten, they better refresh their memories here that just like in the recent episode, Amir Mir, during General Musharraf's era, told his friends and family that General Pervez Musharraf was to be held responsible for any harm to his life or person. Not only this but at one stage, Amir Mir went on to claim that his car was set on fire in November 2003 as an act of intimidation and harassment by General Musharraf, who was the President of Pakistan as well at that time.
However, no heaven was fallen and after writing such highly controversial books and that too with the blessings of Indians, neither Amir Mir was touched by any army personnel, nor was he summoned to the ISI offices for interrogation over writing such negative books against Pakistan and Pakistani institutions of national defense and that too from the soil of the hostile enemy State. He was neither asked by any government authority to show the source of income for getting these books published from abroad nor was notified to show the proofs and volume of income through these books as he was very much required to furnish the same with the Tax authorities at least. And as far his blaming General Musharraf for getting his car burnt, earned him nothing else than a huge global laughter while rest was left between him and the Insurance Company that insured his car.
Now, after years of getting neck deep involved in such anti-Pakistan and anti army activities, Mir Brothers, who were never touched by any army or intelligence personnel or for that matter any other patriotic Pakistani despite doing all what they have been doing, they even want to control the minds and thinking of the Army as they are constantly saying that army establishment THINK us as security threats and that the ISI and army have serious misperceptions that we ( Amir Mir and Hamid Mir ) are anti-army and anti Pakistan. They are not saying that they have been caused any inconvenience by army or ISI they just have objections over the thinking and perceptions of country's military leadership and intelligence bosses. These CHAMPIONS of freedom of thoughts clearly have objections on the thoughts of army and ISI officials. They failed to prove that they were ever harmed or hurt by any army or ISI official but they just say that they do not feel comfortable with the way army and ISI think about them. Well! That is just great. In a free country, where you seek all the freedom for whatever you want to say or write under the garb of freedom of expression or press freedom, you at the same time want other to think about you that way you want to be thought by them. After all what you have been doing against Pakistan Army and its allied units like ISI, you desire that they should not even be thinking bad about you? Really, one needs to have exclusive cheeks and unconventional brain for this for having such desires and saying such words."
