Under-investigation’ journalist flies to US

[Dawood Ibrahim]

ISLAMABAD/KARACHI: A columnist-cum-reporter who was reportedly under investigation for his controversial news report flew to the United States weeks after removal of his name from Exit Control List, ARY News reported.

According to ARY News anchor Arshad Sharif, Cyril Almeida flew to the US to cover presidential elections for his newspaper despite being under investigation for his news report about an alleged rift between the military and the federal government.

Interior Ministry had placed the journalist’s name on the Exit Control List (ECL) barring him to remain the country until the completion of a government committee’s inquiry into the story.



His name was removed from the list on October 14 after Interior Minister met

a delegation of All Pakistan Newspapers Society (APNS) and The Council of Pakistan Newspaper Editors (CPNE) who assured that the journalist Cyril Almeida will help authorities in the investigation regarding the story.

Talking to the delegation, the Interior Minister reiterated his call that independent media must play its role not only towards safeguarding national interests but also to counter negative propaganda of the enemies of state.

“Unverified and speculative news items citing sources on national security issues must be refrained that crosses ethical boundaries of responsible journalism” said Nisar.

On the very same day, Corps Commanders Conference expressed serious concern over ‘feeding of false and fabricated story of an important security meeting held at PM house and viewed it as breach of national security.’

the journalist has done the right thing . he was just a tool .. used and abused by Nawaz media cell.
its a good move because he could have been silenced

You right and even if we knew the truth about his source Interior minister would not take a proper Action and he would be a scapegoat

@Farah Sohail That's what I said earlier in your thread, same as in Hussain Haqqani case. Now everybody is cool and will forget what happened.

 

[El_Swordsmen]

he already told military who is behind this scandal, his presence & absence won't make a difference. Military already asked gov. to handover the culprits & NS have to sacrifice one or two ministers, we just have to wait & see how the story unfolds !!

I, not even for a moment faulted Dawn. they did what they are supposed to do. which is to report the story and when the story is from the highest possible source then there is no much room for doubt.
this is why Dawn stood its ground about the source.

I also knew it... Its not tht it matters..because military already knows who are behind it....but its a most obvious sign (actually it was always obvious) tht govt never intended to do anything abt its promise of investigation... But military is cool abt it now... Just like india conducted its so called 'surgical strike' without any damage (?) because they were hanuman soldiers and hence invisible, same way..some aliens in guise of corps commanders gave tht press release abt breach of national security and now they have conveniently forgotten abt it, as if nothing happened at all.... So its all cool now... Breach of national security is a routine matter.,we should forget abt it..because its jamhooryat ka husn , and if someone will be punished on it, then they will become political martyrs..and hence we cant put democracy in danger..so we should accept it.... And i think a deal is done on selection of new coas... So if, military has gotten a new chief of its choice, then breach of national security is not a big deal ...its alright..new chief matters more..

Important thing is there should be end of these security breachers always escaping after breaches. Of course govt is not going to do that any time. Only Army has to take step. Army said it was a security breach not govt. There must be some end to countinues compromises.

Shocked to read the comments on the thread criticizing the reporter and the informant as opposed to condemning the army. The Dawn expose made it crystal clear that ISI has been supporting terrorists and confirmed to the whole world what India has been saying for a decade now. Should'nt you as Pakistanis be condemning the ISI for that practice instead of shooting at the messenger?
