Rauf Klasra Corruption Scandal

Rauf Klasra Corruption Scandal

Article By Sabeen Hafeez

Jang News & The News Group Sr. Reporter,Journalist Rauf Klasra’s standard gripe with Pakistani political class is its inability to learn from mistakes. Writing in the Urdu edition of Jang, in column after column. Rauf Klasra is at pains to point out the disparity between word and deed exhibited by Pakistani politicians depending upon their geographic presence at the time. According to Klasra, while located in Western capitals like London or Washington, Pakistani politicians convincingly play at being democrats, reformers and revolutionaries but once back in Pakistan, they reveal their true colors. Klasra likes to lament the unwillingness of our politicians to learn from the moral superiority of Western political classes. Needless to say, his emotional and loaded articles strike a chord with the common Pakistani who is sick of the decadence and lack of sensitivity displayed by his MNA and Nazim.
What comes as a surprise though is evidence of the same moral failing in Klasra himself, the self-anointed gadfly of the upper classes. Evidence that is presented below reveals the ironic and tragic dissonance between words and deeds of Rauf Klasra. PkPolitics.com has investigated his case and has discovered that he has used his influence to amass wealth and has never relinquished any opportunity to use his connections in the power circles of Islamabad to receive undue favors and patronage, not least with Prime Minister Gillani himself. The tragedy of the whole thing is that Rauf Klasra, the “morally upright” journalist and “exposer” of fraud everywhere, has been continuously parroting his theme song about corruption, looking up and whistling innocently, while doing exactly the opposite with his hands. A truly classic case of Ram Ram japna, praya maal apna, if there ever was one.

The eternal question remains: Is the Faustian bargain with the devil worth it? All the plot allotments, flats, land, houses and illegal appointments of his relatives worth it? For it profits a man nothing to lose his very soul for all the riches of the world, but to lose it for worthless patches of dirt in Islamabad? Klasra has sold his soul cheap, even though he thinks he made a profit.

But one should always be thankful for small mercies. Looking at Klasra’s countless karnaamay, we should thank the gods he is not in a position of power. He would have left even Zardari biting the dust if the priestly columnist of Jang who writes with the tagline: “Aakhir Kyon?” had been our president. With all his corrupt habits, Klasra has not risen to the pinnacles of political power and seems to ask complainingly: “Aakhir Kyon”?
Dearest Klasra, it’s because Pakistan still has a small store of luck.

Here are a few examples that show the difference between what he preaches and what he has actually been up to. The Tareeqa-e-Wardaat of such black sheep in the media has always been to create vast networks of PR and patronage for reciprocal back scratching with corrupt politicians and blackmailing anyone who stands in their way.

Plot in G-14 Islamabad

The execrable practice of using plot allotments to journalists is a tried and tested method of buying loyalties and hiring those willing to prostitute themselves for their words. The story of Muhammad Malick is a case in point. It goes without saying that in a misruled country with a long history of abuse of power, such practices should cease immediately. Now having said that, even this ethical minefield of a system has a few rules and regulations that purport to uphold a quota-system to ensure transparency and equality. It must take a man completely bereft of decency and a sense of fair play to try to game this system which is unjust and unfair to begin with.

The G-14 plots drama has many other wily and unsavory characters (who are going to be exposed at PKPolitics when their turn comes). The sheer complexity of the drama requires that the background and rules and regulations for allotments be explained thoroughly:

1- The present PPP government has made eight (8) plot allotments to journalists recently. These were all illegal and were made secretly unlike in the past when the process was more transparent. The rules of procedure, followed in the past, call for advertisements, allotments to be made under a devised policy and the final list being posted on the website of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. All of these standard procedures were not followed in the 8 cases recently. It is important to point out that these 8 illegal plot allotments to journalists were made in the last ONE year alone. Last allotment was made to Zardari’s close friend Sohaib Bhutta. Zardari’s Lahori friend Nazir Naji was also given a plot in the same way.

2- Allotments were made to federal government employees and journalists in 2004-05 in Phase-IV of Federal Government Employees Housing Foundation (FGEHF) in sector G-14. According to the brochure of this scheme [Download Brochure PDF 3.8MB] 3 % quota was fixed for the journalists. Applications were invited from the Islamabad/Rawalpindi based journalists through an advertisement followed by another advertisement for some changes in criteria etc. [Download Advertisements PDF 4.9MB]. A total 168 journalists were allotted plots in five different categories as defined in the advertisement of Feb 2nd and Feb 21st 2004 [Download Allotments List PDF 0.1MB] and this list is also available on the link of official website of ministry of information and broadcasting. After allotment to these 168 journalists, some journalists who had also applied, failed to get a plot because the 3% quota fixed for journalists in sector G-14 had been filled. As a result, according to devised policy (Devised Policy- Which was completely and clearly announced and given in the advertisement published in national newspapers on Feb 2nd and Feb 21st 2004 – copies already attached) a waiting list was issued with category-I as NIL, according to seniority based on the date of birth from all the five categories [Download Waiting List PDF 2.7MB]. It is also important to mention here that, even at that time, three or four journalists managed to get a plot allotted despite that the fact that they were in the Waiting List until even 2005.

3- Five journalists who were in the waiting list are:
1- Rauf Klasra, Cat-II, Seniority Number-29
2- Amir Mateen, Cat-II, Seniority Number-14
3- Kiani Khaleeq Ahmad Khan, Cat-II, Seniority Number-25
4- Javed Chaudhry, Cat-II, Seniority Number-20
5- Shaukat Mehmood Paracha, Cat-III, Seniority No-18 (Mr. Paracha clarified that he did not avail this offer of Plot).

These journalists jointly filed a petition with the Lahore High Court’s Rawalpindi Bench and challenged the process of allotment on purely technical grounds [Download Petition 0.4MB] . The petition was disposed off in March 2006 with no order [Download Court Decision PDF 6.2MB] and the court directed the Housing Foundation to dispose of grievances within fifteen days of their being raised. In fact, court never authorized any public institution to allot plots to these or any other journalists as a result of the rejected petition.

4- After the present government took charge in Feb 2008, it was well-known in Islamabad that Rauf Klasra is a close friend of PM Gilani. Both of them not only come from the same area but have been close friends even before Gilani became Prime Minister. Rauf Klasra has even alluded to the fact in some of his columns for the Daily Jang. Credible sources claim that Klasra had raised the issue of his not getting a plot allotted in 2005 with the Prime Minister who had promised to look into allotting Klasra the plot. Things moved quickly, however, after Imran Gardezi, the present Press Secretary to the PM took the charge of his office in December 2008. Suddenly, the Housing Ministry was asked to allot a plot to Rauf Klasra immediately. The ministry directed the Director General of FGEHF, the notorious Sher Afzal to accommodate Klasra. Sher Afzal wrote in response to the Housing Ministry that a recommendation from the Ministry of Information is mandatory for allotment to journalists [Download FGEHF Letter PDF 0.4MB]. Rauf Klasra was apprised of the new situation. The DG-FGEHF, Sher Afzal, received the recommendation letter from the Ministry of Information within two days [Download Information Ministry Letter PDF 0.2MB]. The recommendation letter asked the FGEHF to allot Rauf Klasra a category-I plot, which was allotted to him subsequently in sector G-14.

5- After the category-I plot allotment to Rauf Klasra, the other original petitioner journalists like Kiani Khaleeq found out that the allotment had been carried out by mentioning the LHC petition (dismissed in March 2006), they approached Secretary Information Ashfaq Gondal and DG-FGEHF Sher Afzal seeking a review of their own cases.
The four remaining petitioner journalists then plotted with the disgraced DG-FGEHF, Sher Afzal, who happens to be close friends to some of these journalists. They decided that instead of seeking the Ministry of Information’s recommendation directly, DG-FGEHF, Sher Afzal would write to the Minstry of Information on their behalf and demand recommendation letters for the remaining four petitioner journalists. This letter by Sher Afzal was illegal to begin with as the DG-FGEHF does not have such powers and functions in his job description. In any case, the Information Ministry sent the recommendation letters to FGEHF in blatant violation of its own waiting list and the defined category. According to the previously devised policy, the category was to be assigned as it existed on the day of applying. This policy was obviously violated.

Today, Rauf Klasra and the other journalists (Amir Mateen, Khaleeq Kiyani, Shaukat Mehmood Paracha and Javed Chaudhry) claim that they were alloted plots as the result of a judgment by Lahore High Cour’s Rawalpindi bench. This judgment was delivered in March 2006 while the plots were allotted in 2009. Klasra’s case was not a matter of devised policy and there was no scheme or program under which plots could be given to other journalists.

The actual situation is that only Rauf Klasra was allotted plots in compliance with Prime Minister’s orders by Sher Afzal, DG FGEHF, on January22, 2009. On February 6th 2009, a story with the title ‘Judges get plots of their choice’ was published in daily The News and daily Jang by Ansar Abbasi, in which an illegal allotment of plot to a journalist was mentioned. This story is available on www.thenews.com.pk in the link ‘Back Issues’ in the date February 6th 2009. At this point of time, Rauf in his attempt to cover up his illegal allotment, in connivance with Sher Afzal conspired to have plots allotted to his co-petitioners i.e. Amir Mateen, Khaleeq Kiyani, Shaukat Paracha and Javed Chaudhry. So, on February 14, Sher Afzal wrote a letter to information ministry recommending allotment to rest of the petitioners in the same petition on the basis of which Rauf was recommended for a plot.Rauf Klasra in his column published in Daily Jang Islamabad Edition May 28th 2009 [Download Column PDF 1.4MB] wrote that it was Sher Afzal’s interpretation that he and his co-petitioners could be given plots.

This could mean only two things: either Rauf Klasra and Sher Afzal were being economical with the truth (lying through their teeth) or were exceedingly naïve (and bhola). The reality is, there were a total of 6 petitions who were taken care of through the same order. A petition No 2149 filed by seven journalists were decided before Rauf’s petition with the same order. It is mentioned in the court orders of Rauf’s petition that his petition is being disposed off on the grounds as were given in the decision of petition No 2149.

This is indeed a great mystery. We suspect Mr. Klasra will soon come up with a ‘filmi’ column, beginning with some anecdote, a chance meeting with some politician, whose integrity stands naked and exposed after Mr. Rauf Klasra, the murderously honest journalist, dissects the said politician’s life with his mighty pen.

Perhaps Mr. Klasra, instead of writing one of his Lollywood columns, should answer honestly to straight questions like this: Why was Rauf Klasra, the extremely honest journalist, the only one to be rewarded? Other journalists who had moved the original petition before Klasra, and had gotten the same judgment as Klasra, were not allotted the plots. Why was Sher Afzal’s “interpretation” only applicable to Klasra, the viciously and brutally honest journalist, and not to other petitioner journalists?

The point to be noticed here is that according to legal experts, even if LHC would have given its judgment in favor of petitioner journalists (which it did not), the following would have been necessary:

a. They could be given plots only when some new sector of FGEHF opened and in accordance with the policy and quota as would be defined for the new sector. In case of sector G-14, 3 % quota was fixed for journalists. According to reports three new sectors would soon be opened by CDA and FGEHF.

b. In this case plots were created in G-14 by elimination of green belts and children’s parks. Now according to legal experts, even if these plots were created, the FGEHF and Information Ministry were supposed to properly announce it and allot plots in accordance with the seniority-based waiting list. According to the waiting list, Rauf Klasra, falling in category-II had a seniority number of 29, Amir Mateen, in category-II was on seniority number 14, Khaleeq Kiyani, in category-II was on seniority number 25, Shaukat Mehmood Paracha in category-III was on seniority number 18, and Javed Chaudhry in category-II was on seniority number 18. So, even if allotments had to be made, they should have been made according to the seniority numbers. But the way it actually happened, Rauf Klasra and others usurped the rights of senior journalists who, according to the seniority list, had a better claim.

c. The technical grounds on which these journalists challenged the court judgment was that the original 3% plot allotment had unfairly favored print media journalists from government corporations (PTV, APP), and these five journalists, being primarily in the print-media, had been discriminated against. The court, however, DISMISSED this petition. It never directed the FGEHF to allot plots to these journalists, and that too by violating the seniority list.

Flats and Houses in Islamabad

1- Rauf Klasra’s wife Shahwar Faryal, now APS to Chairman Senate (BPS-17) had been allotted Quarter No. 10-C, Block-72, Gulshan-e-Jinnah, F-5/1 some eight years back when she was a contract employee in some other government organization [Download Allotment Letter PDF 0.5MB]. Since the current government took office, she has been allotted a G-Type house, which is meant only for grade-19 government employees, in sector G-6/3 (House-103-G, F-6/3) in violation of all rules and regulations [Download Rules PDF 0.7MB]. The allotment was in blatant violation of rules and complete breach of ethics because according to the rules, the category could be skipped by only one step and even that only in cases of severe need and unavailability.

2- Later on, this G-Type house was alloted to some other officer and Klasra’s wife was instead allotted House # 6, Street # 9, F-6/3. This was an I-Type government house and was in use of Dr. Zawar Zaidi, who was chairman Pakistan Papers. I-Type houses are only for federal secretaries and additional secretaries level officers in either grade-21 or 22. The house was forcibly vacated from Dr. Zaidi and subsequently, the 81 year old Dr Zaidi, who had to leave for Lahore in shock and disbelief, died after three months. This house was allotted to Klasra’s wife, Shahwar Faryal, but was vacated when the issue of illegal and non-entitled allotment was taken up by the media and comprehensively discussed in famous AAJ TV program Bolta Pakistan by Mushtaq Minhas and Nusrat Javed of 15th December 2008. After Aaj TV highlighted this scam, within one night the house was allotted to the wife of another influential journalist Saleh Zafir of Jang Group (by coincidence ???) and Shahwar Faryal was allotted yet another government house. For all these allotments, the Prime Minister Secretariat wrote three different letters letters to the housing ministry, two of them bearing signatures of Nargis Sethi, present acting principal secretary to the Prime Minister.

LAHORE: Quaid-e-Azam Papers Project chief Dr Zawar Hussain Zaidi passed away in Lahore of a cardiac arrest on Tuesday, a private TV channel reported.

According to the channel, 81-year-old Zawar was also the chairman of the Quaid-e-Azam Academy. He authored 20 books; 13 in English; six in Urdu; and one in Persian; on the Quaid’s sayings. The channel said his funeral would be held at 4pm today (Wednesday) in Model Town. He was an excellent teacher and research scholar. He also served as the History Department head in the FC College.

President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif expressed their grief on his demise and termed it an irreparable loss for the country.

3- The original home allotted to Shahwar Faryal (No. 10-C, Block-72, Gulshan-e-Jinnah, F-5/1) was not given to anyone else but was immediately and coincidentally allotted to “Khyzer Klasra”, younger brother of Rauf Klasra.

It is important to mention here that these government flats at prime locations of Gulshan-e-Jinnah (next to Marriott Islamabad) have been given to journalists on throw-away prices (RS 4000 to RS 4500 per month) because of their influence and without any entitlement. The government needs to get these houses evacuated to allot them to deserving government employees due to a shortfall of residential facilities in the capital. As it is, the government has to pay large amounts as house rent from the public exchequer to thousands of government employees.

If this wasn’t enough, some more lifafa journalists have managed to allot themselves these prime location houses in addition to the almost free-of-cost flats in their wives’ names. This subterfuge of using their wives’ names for cheap rental flats is employed to hide their identities as journalists after their activities have been probed and brought to light by the media. Recently, a Senate committee has also taken notice of these allotments to journalists and other influential people who are not entitled to such flats/houses. Names of these journalists will be revealed in coming stories on PKPolitics.

4- Rauf Klasra has also got some rooms and family suite in his possession in the federal government lodges. One of the Federal Lodges family suites is “Family Suite # 17, Federal Lodges # 1”, and has been allotted in the name of Samia Naureen, who is a close relative of Rauf Klasra, however, the actual allottee didn’t live there and it is in use of Klasra and his guests according to the staff looking after these government residences.

Interestingly, one of the senior government officers was allotted the same family suite in the Federal lodge, but to his shock, he was denied entry to the property by the staff and was told to talk to Rauf Klasra instead.

Knowing Klasra’s reputation for blackmail and revenge, the officer silently backed off and asked the security staff never to mention his name to Klasra. This shows the troubling emergence of a small clique of journalists, acting as a feudal mafia, peddling influence and patronage through selling their ethics for land, flats and houses.

Sources in the National Assembly (NA) secretariat also reveal that Rauf Klasra, the allotment Magarmach, has taken control of yet another lodge in the old assembly lodges and is not willing to vacate the premises despite repeated requests from the NA secretariat.

Saima Khan July 20, 2009

Shocking news for me if people like kalasra are also corrupt then there are some loopholes in our system. The only solution is to change the system otherwise we will find that more than 50% people are corrupt and 45%haven’t got the chance and may be 5% good people are really worried about the future of our country.
There should be an accountability from start todate or NRO for everyone todate and if someone does corruption there should be death sentance for those corrupt regardless of class.

What a respect we have for Rauf Kalasra, but reading above I am very surprissed what should I say. Rauf Kalasra SB aap bhi ganga main haath naih dhoo rahee infact nah rahay hain.

Mr.100% July 20, 2009

Everyone is naked in this bathroom. What happened to Nazir naji? he is still writing columns in daily jang without any break. This Jang group has always blackmailed politician, Generals, mullah in the begining with the help of newspaper and later with the help of channels. If you compare the educational qualification of these socalled anchors with a PHD we can easily say that BLACK MAILOR has better prospect. We took this new country as a land of corruption and there is not improvement in the status. Our society supports stronger and powefull corrupt element of the society and hate weeker ones. I believe that our own people would like to extract all the egss without waiting any single day. Our law only protects Hijackers, Money Laundere, Blackmailor, Drug Dealers

The story of yet another black sheep in the garb of a “PIOUS JOURNALIST” makes this point strong that those who are not “CORRUPT” in Pakistan is not because they are God fearing, ethically motivated or have strong conviction of moral character, but they are not corrupt because they haven’t got the chance…….lollll………..I was also shocked to read the name of Javed Choudhry,

But to be fair to Rauf Kalasara, I will wait for him to give his version of story and respond to the legitimate questions raised by Sabeen in this article. Hopefully Kalasara goes beating about the bushes but in fact answer straight what is being alleged here…………Come On Kalasra get in the dock and state your clarification, if you have one !!!!!

Hats off to author of this investigative story who has done a wonderful job….I only hope she has not done it to settle score with Kalasara because he did not help her get a plot somehwere……lollllz

A friend of mine got a strange disease for which doctors had no medicine. He asked for my help. As the person was very good friend of mine, I thought that I should use internet to know what disease my friend has and what is its cure.

With the help of symptoms that were shown by my ailing friend, I browsed the internet and was able to find out that it was the disease of America-Phobia for which no cure is presently available. However, some improvement can be made if the patient stop remaining too long in the laps of Taliban. I told about this to my friend but he flately refused to be out of Taliban lap, even for one second, and then wildly started shouting,”AKHIR KIOOON, AAKHIR KIOOOOOOON ?”

Please forgive me to tell you a Mangharat story, but I believe that more than 95% of the stories that we listen to or we tell are stories of same kind.

Kashif July 21, 2009

Javed Ch likes to write stories. Recently i read his story about Micheal Jackson in which he accused Micheal Jackson of being suffering from inferiority complex and going through plastic surgery to get his skin white. He didnt care to check the facts because just a few days back and this can be seen on You Tube that in one concert rehearsal his hair had caught fire and he had suffered from facial burns and as he was in showbiz so he had to undergo plastic surgery.

In another part Javed Chaudhry accused Micheal Jackson for not liking his family due to his inferiority complex and ditched them and went solo. He however failed to mention that Micheal Jackson’s father used to beat him like anything and only due to his constant physical and mental abuse Micheal decided to go separate. That is also the reason why Micheal excluded his father from his will.

Javed Chaudhry story about the DMG officer appointed as Ambassador to France also was written in favour of this DMG officer – that official appointment has been cancelled today by the Prime Minister Gilani after the DMG officer was told to resign from his DMG service and only then he would be appointed Ambassador to which he refused. This guy was recommended by Zardari.

By the way guys you must have seen Hasan Nisar programme Chauraha. Have you see the way he sits there – with gold watch and gold rings and a very snobbish attitude. This guy made millions and has been a lifafa journalist since the time of Zia ul Haq. I dont know why Geo and Jang are still tolerating him.

The print media and electronic media should realise that once the moral authority of these journalists are eroded there is no use in employing them because no one even reads their columns and they dont trust them. But who cares – these so called yellow journalists and black sheep of media are making money. Money makes the mare go.

Akhair Kyoun July 21, 2009

Jaise keh akhbar mein parha tha keh maulana sahib ne army se lambi chori zameen allot karwa li hai, tou inn halat mein agar sahafi bhi 2, 4 plot allot karwa laite hain to kia ho gaya. Kia mulla loag masjid aur madrisson ke naam per sarkari aur private zameeno par qabiz nahee ho jate? Mera tou buss nahee chalta warna mein bhi aisa hee karta bulkeh ham sub aisa hee karte.

Aadil Sabir July 21, 2009

A background check for these journalists is a must. Where they come from? Majority from a poor socio-economic background even facing hunger in their teens. Could anyone tell any formula how they managed this lifestyle? Living in Chak Shehzad, posh areas of Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi etc.??? Rules are framed to accomodate these guys.

Many a people are sick of these unjust practices sprawling around us everhwhere you go. Being honest they fight against corroupt system and consequently they become target of the powerful and in their despair they leave the country……and then these journalists and policy makers (who being part of the corrupt system are major reason for the brain darin) have long debates about the brain drain in the country.

A friend of mine had quite good chances to mint money but prefered to resign and find new job as against being part of these filthy games. He has been fighting against corrupt system for more than 2 decades but now he is tired and frustrated, and seriously considering leaving Pakistan, atleast for the time being…………………I really don’t know how we, as a nation, are likely to address this national crisis!!!!

Saadat Farooq July 21, 2009

I strongly believe that these newspaper writers(journalists) are blackmailers. If politicians and army generals(like bastard musharaf) are corrupt , these journalists are not less corrupt than those. Being free now media is also earning a lot illegaly by blackmailing.Rauf Klasara is one of those black sheeps.
Rauf Klasar keep it in mind that one day you die and will give hisaab kitaab to Allah SWT.
Rauf K tum aik baygairat aur kameenay insaan hoo.

ishrat Salim July 22, 2009

Saima bibi…you seem to be soooo….naive …..this country of ours is surviving due to this 5% of the affluent class & the duas of the poor people who have nowhere to go in case of any situation…this country needs revolution like Iran to get rid of corruptions…..& that day is not very far-off……..

It is due to the continued patronage by our media that these sort of Journalists are thriving……may be these media people have somthing to hide themselves that they are tolerating Journalists like Rauf Klasra……

DECIDING THE MORAL FRONTIERS OF INTERNET MEDIA

Of recently, I have had an unexpected opportunity of reading quite a revealing story captioned, “Rauf Klasra corruption scandal” ; containing ‘starling’ details of corruption and discussing unflinching lust for plots, obtained in ‘flagrant violations’ of rules and regulations, of a leading investigative reporter of daily the news international– Mr. Rauf Klasra. My first impressions were shocking and disbelief. Although, the article is quite lengthy- containing a variety of information and the codicils. And, the fiery observations made by the harsh and indignant commentators at the end, successfully portray Mr. Klasra as an unfair and crooked opportunist who is void of any moral values; but the standpoint missed by almost all the commentators is its visible ONE-SIDEDNESS. After, reading it for more than once, as I was quite interested to know more about this outstanding investigative reporter of our country who has made quite a name with his hard work and his expose of most sacred high and mighty strata in the media is, in my opinion, a real job done. Hopefully, I would not be taken as a spokesman for Mr. Klasra as I want to discuss it in a dispassionate manner and wish for imposing self moral/ethical limits by our internet media.
To start with, why I am interested to write a reply of this story? I have two reasons: first, Mr. Klasra is from Layyah and I have been married to a Layyah girl here in Lahore; my wife is the granddaughter of once renowned Layyahiite, Prof. Dr. Ghulam Mohammad Baloch- a British era King Edward alumnus who was appointed first Principal of Nishter Medical College, Multan in the early fifties but could not made it to it as he soon died of spinal cancer at an early age of about 42 years; and secondly, I am of the considered opinion that we need to decide the limits and bounds of freedom of internet media as lack of any proper government monitoring and control is fast making it a handy tool for the enemy bashing.
While, it is also true that World Wide Web is a free and fast means of communication which provide gratis catharsis to everyone, but what’s more important is that we ought to decide about the legal, moral and social confines and bounds of this communication contrivance. And, ex-parte denigrations must be avoided.
In my opinion, the basic drawback of the said story is its complete partiality and therefore, it gives an impression which the author wants to convey. Hopefully, the author would know about the norms of including opponent’s point of view as well in the news stories but it is regretted that she has willfully excluded it to give it a desired portrayal.
As, I have spent a life time of 17 years in P.R. media, working as a media manager with numerous ministers and departments and therefore, I am, therefore, in a better position to mention that Mr. Klasra is an abstemious, hard working and gifted journalist who has earned niche with his innovative expose of ‘sacred cows’- I have had many kaleidoscopic chances to closely watch the journalism scene and the persons attached herewith. He enjoys good repute- both professionally and financially, in the media community.
Originally belonging to a small village called ‘Klasra’ of a remote backward Layyah district of Punjab where his late father was a small farmer who died early of snake bite and then his mother worked hard as a grower to let her children live a humble life, Mr. Klasra has, since then, come a long way to emerge as an outstanding journalist. If he is so rich and affluent, then why does he need his wife to work as an APS and while different Pakistani governments doled out plots and other perks in the journalists to muster media support, we need to understand that governments treat media especially everywhere in the world, to have its support in policy issues. If we want just accountability, then rather targeting the fall guy, we have to hold across the board accountability of all the journalists and the other sections of the society as well. In my opinion, Klasra and Javed Ch. (who studied journalism with me in Islamia University, Bahawalpur from 1989 to 1991) are two role models for the youth who need to learn from their considerate hard work. After Jinnah and Dr. Qadeer, we need many other innovative young beau ideals for our nation of 170 million people. And it would be better that Mr. Klasra be left to do his original wok of investigative reporting as it is the people like him who have given paradigm shift to our national media scene.
Furthermore, perhaps the author fails to understand that out of turn allotment of houses is not an exception in case of Mr. Klasra as in Islamabad; it’s a routine to allot houses on out of turn basis. So, why target Klasra only? What about Hamesh Khan, Shaukat Aziz or many others who went scot-free with billions of rupees’ plundering. In Islamabad, government owns all land and it’s it which allots lands for houses’ construction or other purposes and 99 percent land is with the government. So, you have to contact the government for any plot. If Mr. Klasra fulfills all rules then it’s no harm in it that he is allotted plot or house for residence. I think it’s time that our media and the journalist community should revert to its original obligation and pursuing non issues should be done away with. We need a credible media to have our voice heard in the world.
Internet media should also set right its priorities and larger issues like corruption, tuning to the billions of rupees, dictatorship, dithering of state institutions, poverty, joblessness and Talibanization should be prioritized and the nation be guided.
To conclude, let me to say that one of the problems with the people is that we are not used to of putting up with the rise of the people with poor social back grounds.
And, this seems to be the bigger stigma of Mr. Klasra!

Mohammad Aftab Abbasi July 24, 2009

I just can’t digest the comments of Qudruttah, only cuz he is married from the same place he defends crooks like Klasra, we should call spade a spade, let me tell you I have living abroad for last 35 years and make more money then any one in Pakistan could even dream of but have not saved enough to make holidays in London every year what Klasra and his collegues does, hav u guys heared Nazir Naji, these all Jang group reporters are blackmailers, man is know by the companyhe keeps, soon inshallah inqalab is coming to Pakistan and all these userpers of our resources will be taken to the task inshallah. do not worry they will dragged out of there plots and buglows.

Intikhab July 24, 2009

@ Mohammad Aftab Abbasi

I do agree with your comments, Mr. Qudratulla tyried well to defend his friend, but reality never be hide. I hate all these lik Kalasra, Naji, Ansar Abbasi, Hamid Mir, as you are Abbasi, may be belongs to this hilly belt, then definately know the background of Ansar Abbasi.

Your are quite right that you have earned a lot in US, even than you cant spend your holidays in Londan, I would add more that you cant buy a Banglow in Posh Localities of Islamabad, but how, Hamid Mir, and all these people are living in Islamabad, Even one can not be lived in Islamabad on RENT being huge amount of rent in Islamabad.

I have concluded that these people dam care of Country, Many of them are working for CIA and other ant Pakistan agencies. They just want to be rich OVER NIGHTLY.

Sultan Ali Khan July 24, 2009

Mohammed Aftab………..apparently yours “making more money than anyone in Pakistan” claim has fault lines in it; because even after 35 years you cannot afford what Klasara, Naji and Co can afford………….so take it easy, frustration will only bring acidity level of sincere and honest people like yourself to harmful level………….the big favor to Pakistan you can do is; keep faith in it………..our circumstances have turned so bad and rock-bottom that it can not get any worse, hence they are bound to turn around and as nature has it; get better……keep the faith bro !!!!!

Sultan Ali Khan July 24, 2009

Qudratullah………i have read your long reply and do appreciate the pain and time you have taken explaining your reasons for writing on the subject matter……but you are missing the point here……..people are furious and disgruntled with Klasara not because he is hailing from a humble family background, nah this is not the case………. they are fed up with him because they felt being cheated and taken for a ride……….true Mr. Klasara have produced many wonderful investigative pieces and because of that he has (or used to have) a big fans club (too difficult to say for others but i am out of his fans club) ….and if you are sitting on such a high pedestal and standing on such a lofty moral ground like Klasara and Co did then you ought to be extra careful in all your personal dealings……….despite legal blanket you might have acquried, you must also come clean thru moral, chaste and ethical prisms……..and you have to be crystal clear and rather than wrapping your personal gains in legal jargons or “according to rules” excuses….you got to be millions mile away from all those worldly gains you started out telling other public figures to avoid….such is the demand of decency and not legal bounds……hope you realize this??

I agree that the version of accused should also be taken and published, but those who are caught red handed are always unavailable…however, Mr. Klasara can still publish a rebuttal if he has anything to say……seeing the documentary proofs that the author of the article has attached it would be a bit too difficult for Mr. Klasara to deny……..he might get away on legal grounds but it looks highly unlikely he will be morally clean too……….it is really a SHAME to see people like him biting the dust, the loss is not his alone but people of Pakistan, if one is to view this incident on a wider canvas………..

Jimmy Wolf July 25, 2009

Aslam o Aleikum All,
I am among those 7 million pakistanis who are living abroad and we visit Pakistan once every year or couple of years. Although being geographically away; overseas Pakistanis generally are more concerned about Pakistan and its currents affiars.
We have an outside-in view of Pakistan and we feel that majority of people living in Pakistan are sort of unconcerned with these corruption/blackmail stories. They do take interest but to the extent of listening it. But the best thing they do with dedication & utmost devotion is cursing others, and without considering any ethical and moral limits. For instance the current subject was Rauf Klasra and bloggers were supposed to comment on the report published by Ms. Sabeen Hafeez but some of our respected bloggers started cursing everyone, e.g. Saadat Farooq cursed Gen. Musharraf and called him bad names, for your astonishment Gen. Musharraf still holds a respectable place in hearts of many literate & visionary Pakistanis and they have a strong but silent support for him. For these people such words could be painful as are for me.
Now I could have retaliate by using worse words for Mr. Saadat Farooq or for his other leaders like Zardari, Nawaz, Molana Fazl, Sufi Mohammad etc . but being the fan of Gen. Musharraf I wont do it and leave the moral path open for bloggers like Mr. Saadat Farooq to decide the way to go.
Sub Say Pehlay Pakistan.
God Save my country. ameen
There is joke about Pakistan here overseas,
“Man, Whats wrong there with Pakistan,why its under flash light for all bad reasons?”
“Nothing special wrong dude, except for one reason.”
“Well… what is that ?”
” Hmm… in fact they have lot Pakistanis out there in Pakistan”.
“Ohhhh… I got ya Man.. you are absolutely right for heaven’s sake.”

May Allah save my Country from her people. Ameen

Sultan Ali Khan July 25, 2009

Jimmy Wolf Walaikum Asalam………….I respect your comments and sentiments about Pakistan for I have same for my beloved country…….

having said that, i would simply request everyone that rather than attaching our devotion to personalities we must neutrally look deep into the issues and decide for yourself as to what is wrong and what is right……….

in my humble opinion, we have such adoration for our heros that we let our best judgment go blind while deciding on an issue……worshipping of personalities ang longing for heros are helping our worst of detractors go scot-free……had we used our heads, we would not have leaders like Zardaris, Sharifs, Altaf Hussain, Fazlurrehman, Musharraf, Bhuttos etc etc but rather had true followers of Quaid-e-Azam worthy of leading Pakistani nation…………..

slogan like “Pakistan comes first” holds no value unless we support them by our deeds and conduct…….as for calling bad names, well, i completely agree with you that those on hate list of one person can be dear to others………we should respect others views and maintain decency at all levels and at all costs……

qudratulla July 25, 2009

I think it is not the job of journalism or the journalists to give verdicts against the people which they don’t like and this story is a prime example of such bias and lacks journalistic objectivity which is badly needed in Pakistan as we exhibit emotional behavior and start giving verdicts without knowing facts and govt policies. The writer of the story successfully created a bad image of Klasra; it could be anything but not a piece of journalism.

Sultan Ali Khan July 25, 2009

@Qudratullah………journalists have every right (in fact its their duty) to dig into any issue of public interest and give their opinion on their reported piece, this is the journalistic norm all over the world. These are not biased views, but pointation to a wrongdoing. The amount of evidence attached to the subject report shows the hardwork and the pain that the journalist has taken to produce. I am at a loss to understand as to why you so vehemently defending Klasara without giving any proof, and what you are asking the reporter should have done, not doing it yourself??? should not you be applying the same rule unto yourself and giving some proof before saying the report is a farce?? how would you know this story was not the fact but fiction, unless of course you yourself are Klasara using a fake nickname here????

qudratulla July 26, 2009

after reading rauf klasra’s column in daily jang, the harsh critics should learn that there are more than one sides of this story and this website style of journalism is more close to talibans who have only their approach as correct.

Ahsan Ghafoor July 27, 2009

Actually, our whole system is full of curruption. I personally learnt a lot by reading newspapers and columns. These columns gave me sense. I once thought that all the columnists write at all issues especially about curruptions of Polititions, Generals, Judges, Govt officers but none of them write on the curruption of any columnist. Actually they are black mailors. After that thought came in my mind, I left to waste my time reading columns. Now I try to stake knowledge from other sources like internet, books etc.

This is only one story of a journalist. During the recent years, these people has turned up as another mafia. If this is true then it is unfortunate. for the nation. As one says ‘you can beat liars but you cannot beat the hypocrites’. What about the others jpirnalist/scolumnists who frequesntly travel to foreign countries like Javed Ch. etc. Are these jpurnlists/columnists are getting such a handsome remunerations that they can travel every years (some time more than once) to foreign.

U’ll believe in one article written by a writer n forget all the struggle done by this man for truth, for reducing pains of others. how sad! at least u people shouldnt use abusive words for anyone, whether guilty or innocent. u r all educated but it seems none of u have learnt anything from schools. disgusting language u ppl have used, very bad. i dont know whether he has done anything or not, but u must trust the people whom u like and learn anything from and u must respect those who have been an insipiration for u, just dont believe in one article written by someone but do check all those things done by RK for ppl.

I would suggest we should not be fan or enemy of any “rauf klasra” rather we should always seek the truth about issues and always try to confirm any “spicy story” we hear by other means of information.

Journalism is the most responsible and educated field. Against the Rouf Clasara campaign is seems personal garage and if he took the house for living, then what’s wrong with. In Islamabad living is so expensive .we should bears the emotions and should not abouse the colleges. Please respect in general and I really disappoint the read after abusive language against yours colleges. For God sake improve yourself and respect each and others, if any dispute creates then try to solve with in the manners and with seniors. Thanks Brother I hope u will consider my request.

@Khalid….Journalism becomes a “Responsible Profession” only if its practioners carry it in a responsible way! Theres nothing wrong in buying any property in Islamabad but he shouldn’t have bought it in an illegal way…If property in islamabad is the most expensive one in Pakistan and if its unaffordable for someone then that doesn’t give one a right to get illegal allotment of the properties for just licking the boots of the heads of the country…Remember this money is of the pakistani nation and no leader has a right to waste it on their fav. ppl for their personal interests! and Sorry i dont have any respect for such dishonest journalists be it a senior or a junior, they aren’t our role models at all!

This pseudo Intellectual never give any reference to his all crap and made up stories that he engineer in his backyard, and present to innocent Pakistani viewers … I must SHAME to owners of these media houses who have hired such junk and substandard anchors to make common man further fool. Media Houses must improve their standard of journalism and hiring procedures. SHAME ON ALL CHEAP BLACK SHEEP (PROSTITUTES) IN THE MEDIA INDUSTRY !!!!

wow. what a joke .. hahahaha. i’m pretty impressed. i’ve one question to writer of this drama, how you know the internal things, how many spy you have on Rauf Klasra ? i think you are the people who sitting behind the scene and want to destabilize the Pakistan and There pillar like Rauf Klasra. Listen kids. if you can’t create different then don’t say those stupid things which are not known by you. there are so many gossip around.

So sad this is not fair

Khushal July 13, 2010

I think the story about Mr. Klasra is published with the assistance of one of those five journalists who had applied for a plot in Islamabad. If the story is true, it is very sad. However, if it is false, it is worst. The media does claim that most of the politicians and other segments of the society have been exposed, but media, at the same time, has also been exposed. Both the electronic and print media has to be more mature. I never like the way they ‘strip’ the wrong-doers, not because I sympathize with them, but because ‘humans’ have rights. Let us not pass comments about anyone, especially when we do not possess credible evidence.
