Justice
ABDUL WAHEED KHAN, UNITED KINGDOM
Raja Assad Hameed Abbasi, a senior reporter has been brutally murdered at his doorstep by unidentified gunmen and nobody knows whether his killers will be arrested or not? The brutal murder of a professional journalist shocked and saddened the Pakistani community living abroad. I pray Allah may give him place in heaven and courage to his family members to bear this loss. Raja Assad was a very nice and wise person and a competent reporter, a rarity in his profession. He visited the UK as a senior member of a journalist’s delegation in 2006 and he impressed every one here during his meetings, greetings and functions by his qualities, character and spoken skills very fluent in English, Urdu and Punjabi languages. I remember when I first met him and one of his colleague introduced me as the younger brother of a senior journalist Malik Mohammad Ismail. He gave me respect and shared golden-professional memories of how he started his journalistic career in a news agency where Malik Ismail was working as chief reporter. When my brother and senior journalist, Malik Mohammad Ismail Khan was brutally murdered on the midnight of October 31, 2006 under mysterious circumstances in Islamabad during Musharraf’s dictatorship, he shared our grief and sorrow. Malik Ismail’s murderers are still at large. Being Muslims we believe that death is universal truth and no body can bring back the deceased, but justice should be done. Can the democratically elected President of Pakistan Mr. Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani or the Chief Justice of Pakistan Mr. Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry provide the justice to the victim’s family?
Islamabad based Senior Journalist Resident Editor PPI news agency Malik Mohammad Ismail Khan (Former Bureau Chief Daily The Frontier Post) was brutally muredered near his office on the night of 31st October 2006 and up untill now his unknown murderers are still at large.May Allah Almighty give his soul a best place in heaven, Aameen.
