Wrong. The burden of proof is upon you to prove that Majeed is committing perjury. =D
I'm not saying he IS committing perjury, I'm just saying that needs to be investigated. In the meantime the burden of proof is upon you to prove what he's saying is true.
Here is the thing Asim. At the end of the day, even if I can make Asif, Amir and Butt confess and provide all the evidence themselves - you can still ask me to prove that - They are NOT doing this because I am blackmailing their families.
This line of attack is convenient escapism from your duties of proving your accusation. You want to make it look like we're doing this out of some sort of national pride, even though everyone has stated time and again that if proven then "Jitne jootay maaro, woh kum hai".
Imagine this, some day I decide to frame you and I have somebody record me saying "Pakistani Atheist took money that I arranged from a competitor student to fail in his 10th grade exams and throw away his top rank position".
Now do you have to prove that I'm lying under oath? Or do I have to prove that you actually took the money? See how that works. The lynch mob world you're rooting for would have us all burning at the stake and we'd have Haroon Lorgat type self appointed judge, jury, executioners pronouncing verdicts.
Get out of the denial mode and think for a second. Why would someone blackmail Majeed into doing a video after the incident to get the trio trapped? When they could have done much better things.
I really don't have to tell you why, I have to ask you to prove that what he's saying is true or not. The sole premises of his claim is the timing of the claim.
Also, do you realize that "NOTW" can shutdown and get into really really serious trouble if they indulged in that? Why should we prove to you that Majeed is not being blackmailed? And money? Believe me, Majeed has much more to lose due to this than he could ever gain. He is in serious serious trouble right now.
Actually they already have a libel case against them by far bigger fish than Salman Butt and gang. Last year they claimed that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are divorcing, they even printed out their divorce settlement agreements, the custody issues, and so on. All of it has been denied by the couple who are still together.
This is not the only case.
NOTW has a history of lying, reaping out all the profits of the masala generated by the gossipy wish washy people of the world and then drawing out a long legal row and then settling by paying a few millions out of court.
It's the perfect scam. You're pinning your entire argument on the proverbial "Tabloid Trash".
