Senior Pakistani Journalist Revives Twitter Brawl

Pakistani journalists have breathed down the necks of their counterparts at multiple instances and do not often refrain to stoop too low to payback. A fresh example of it is the senior journalist Kamran Khan who settled scores with Hamid Mir of a three-month-old fight with the latter.

The tweet from Kamran Khan came after the deadline of January 31 passed. The time-limit was set by Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) for Prime Minister Imran Khan to resign.

Senior journalists including Saleem Safi and Hamid Mir tweeted from their handles to express disappointment that PDM could not achieve its motive and it would have to return to assemblies in humiliation.

In response to these tweets, Kamran Khan said that he had already mentioned that the movement of the opposition alliance was just a sham and it had to end as it has.

خاکسار ستمبر میں PDM قیام سے عرض کررہا تھا پاکستانی بھائی بہنوں کو یقین دلا رہا تھا اپوزیشن حکومت مخالف تحریک کو سنجیدہ لینے کی ضرورت نہیں کیونکہ نہ صرف زرداری و بلاول صاحب بلکہ PML لیڈرشپ کے کھانے کے دانت اور دکھانے کے اور ہیں ہنسی آتی تھی انکے عوامی بیانات پر آج بھی آتی ہے 😹😂 pic.twitter.com/Z8udklamVC

Three months ago, things between the two had turned sour when Maryam Nawaz’s husband was arrested in Karachi after PDM’s rally in the metropolis.

Mir recalled that according to Kamran, the kidnapping saga of Sindh Police Inspector General (IG) was done to satisfy Maryam Nawaz.

However, things developed differently, and Kamran Khan’s claims proved wrong when the high command of the Sindh Police collectively submitted leave applications for being disrespected by some entities on the matter related to the arrest of Capt (R) Safdar.

ہاں جی! کچھ کہیں گے آپ یا نہیں؟ آپکے ناقابل تردید ذرائع نے کل مجھے بھی فون کیا تھا اور وہی کہا جو آپ نے بغیر تصدیق کئے لکھ مارا میں نے انکو جو جواب دیا تھا وہ ذرا انہی سے پوچھ لیجیئے اور آئندہ اپنے ان ذرائع کے کہنے پر میری خبر کی تردید مت کیجئے گا https://t.co/UtLfbTb24b

Hamid Mir questioned in his tweet to Kamran Khan, “What you have to say now?”. Mir claimed that ‘irrefutable’ sources of Kamran Khan also called him yesterday and repeated what the Dunya News President had asserted without confirmation.

Now, Kamran Khan has settled the scores with Hamid Mir in a three-month-old fight without realizing that resorting to such demeanor does not match his caliber.
