Talk show gets down and dirty: Ghauri and Imran go head to head
Daily Times Monitor
LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Senator Babar Ghauri exchanged harsh words on Geo television’s “Capital Talk” programme on Friday, hurling serious allegations against each other.
Ghauri showed pictures of Imran with the late Sita White and his alleged daughter Tarian and asked him to confess before the nation that Tarian was his daughter. Ghauri said MQM wanted to provide justice to Imran’s daughter and asked him to undergo a DNA test to prove he was not Tarian’s father.
Addressing Khan, Ghauri said “it is not in cricket but in politics where one cannot tamper with the ball.” He said MQM’s reference against Khan was based on substantial evidence with a court decision attached to it. As a ‘good will gesture’ Ghauri also presented a small cricket bat to Imran, saying he wanted him to bat carefully as he could lose his wicket.
Responding to Ghauri’s allegations, Imran said MQM was raising a personal issue against him to save Altaf Hussain. He pledged that he would sue Hussain in London, adding that MQM’s evil tactics could not compel him to surrender. “MQM is raising filth both in the assembly and on television channels. Its chief is a terrorist and an absconder and responsible for all the killings in Karachi on May 12. MQM should be ashamed of what it has been doing,” he said.
Commenting on a reference filed against him, Imran said MQM brought an ex-party judgment as a reference that could not stand in any court of law in the world. He said, “70 percent of the assembly seats will become vacant if article 62 and 63 are applied on all the assembly members.” “I want government to oust me from the assembly because then I will see who remains in the house,” Imran said.
Asked whether Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif were also absconders, Imran responded, “The government claims that Nawaz Sharif went abroad under an agreement but Bhutto can be called absconder to some extent.” Imran demanded that the channel run video footage of a seminar held in New Delhi in which the MQM chief had said that the division of the subcontinent was the greatest blunder in the history of mankind. The channel obliged and played the video clip of Hussain addressing the seminar, saying, “The division of the subcontinent was the greatest blunder in the history of mankind and I will request the Indian government to pardon those who migrated from India in 1947 and given them asylum back in India.”
Ghauri is such a typical MQM thug… This is the worst party in Pakistan… I think we should welcome Altaf Hussains comments if it means getting rid of these people. Let India deal with them.
