Senior sahafi Talat Hussain ne apne STH channel par pehle jo inkishaf post kiya, us ke zariye goya taza hawa ka saans bahar nikala—jis mein ab retired General Faiz aur General Bajwa ki jori ki, wafadari ke khilaf rawaiye ke bahane un ke career mein rukawat dalne ki koshish ka zikr tha—aur General Qamar Bajwa ke Naya Daur ko diye gaye hairan kun interview ke aane ke saath jis kahani mein woh khud ko phansa hua paa raha tha, us mein apne mauqif ki wazahat ki.
Samaa ke saath maujooda taur par aik program ki mezbani karne wale Hussain ke bare mein General Bajwa ne ilzam lagaya ke unhein Geo News mein anchor ke numayan uhde se un ke apne maatehat General Faiz ne nikala tha. Bajwa khud apni taraf se kisi bhi ghalat kaam ki tardeed karte hain, aur dawa kiya ke unhein Hussain ke muamle ke bare mein zyada ilm nahin tha.
Hussain ne WhatsApp messages ki bunyad par yeh jawaz pesh kiya ke aisa nahin tha. Geo ke editorial staff par retired fauji generals ki taraf se dabao aaya tha, musalsal aur khaufnak dhamkiyon ke saath ke un ke channels off air kar diye jayenge taake woh "hathauri ki saza" ya aisi hi koi saza bhugtein, agar woh us waqt fauj ke bare mein Talat Hussain ke mauqif ke hawale se un ki bebaki ko khamosh na karein. "Larke is waqt kafi ghusse mein hain," Hussain ko is azmaish ke dauran aik mauqe par aik intizami staffer ne message kiya. Is misaal mein "larke" General Faiz aur General Bajwa ke liye code word ke taur par istemal hue thay; "Hamein aaj raat aadhi raat tak ki wazeh deadline di gayi hai, warna hamare tamam channels off air kar diye jayenge.
"Main aap ko yaqeen dilata hoon ke asal masla koi khaas shakhs, ana ya dushmani nahin hai," staffer ne mazeed kaha. "Asal masla yeh hai ke hamara saamna aik taraf bandooq se hai aur doosri taraf aise judge ki hathauri se jis ka rukh insaf ki taraf nahin balke [dar asl] hamare [Geo ke] saron ki taraf hai.
"Intikhab kya hain?"
