Thanks Mobi Lickman for providing us yet another laughing moment. This is the man who present himself as a journalist while has been proven a blatant liar time after time.
Yet there are many who follow him blindly and infact supporters of one particular party go as far as to consider him a national hero just becuz of his exclusive coverage of their 4 month long event last year.
But as they say, “Ye to LOL hogya” :hehe:

**News anchor Mubasher Lucman faced an embarrassing moment earlier in the week to say the least, when WikiLeaks denied his claim of a conversation he had with the organisation’s editor-in-chief Julian Assange. **
Lucman, who is no stranger to stirring up social media controversy, was left red-faced when WikiLeaks — the international whistleblowing organisation — responded to Lucman’s tweet on MQM’s Indian funding.
“Julian Assange was right when years back he first shared with me that MQM was paid by Indians.”

But Lucman’s claim were quickly shot by WikiLeaks.
“Mr. Assange had not said such a thing,” WikiLeaks tweeted in response to Lucman’s tweet.

Lucman’s tweet came days after a BBC report claimed the Muttahida Qaumi Movement was receiving financial and logistical aid from India.
In the age of digital media where information can easily be saved, tracked and authenticated, one would think people would be more careful but it seems Lucman is yet to learn his lesson.
