Quetta Judicial Magistrate-III Muhammad Ibrahim Kakar has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for Geo’s anchorperson and columnist Hamid Mir as well as the chairman of the group and editor-in-chief of daily Jung newspaper. The court issued Mir’s arrest warrant in a case filed by a senior lawyer of Balochistan, Khalid Khan. The petitioner has taken the plea that in his column of October 24, 2011, Mir had deliberately used contemptuous words against Pashtoon nationality that hurt the feeling of Pashtoon people. Besides the columnist, he had also made the editor-in-chief of the newspaper a party in the case.
He has prayed for legal action against both the columnist and editor- in-chief for hurting the feelings of Pashtoons. Notices have already been served on both respondents for their appearance before the court but they failed to comply with the orders. Three lawyers, including Abdul Majid Kakar, Abdul Wali Nasir and Abdul Zahir represented the petitioner in the court.

  5. Very sad news indeed, the people who spend each second of their life in criticizing others not following the law themselves.. Hamid Mir specially, khud ko kuch alag hi cheaz samjhta hai..

    • Hamid Mir has been outspoken for Democracy and the Rule of Law to be applied equally to all within the country, including to the military. I think someone in the ISI has a sense of humour and decided to misuse the law against Mr Mir.

    • The magistrate should have thrown out the (frivolous) case. Otherwise, no journalist would be able to stay in the profession.

      When Mullah or Military become Magistrate this is the kind of problem the society would face…

    • xcuse me….
      he wasn't talking straigt about ISI
      but was talking against ISI
      if u remember in 2011 he was among those a few journalists who were warned by ISI to talk about pakistan
      as they say these are working for RAW….
      I have w8d for this day so long

    • From which side does that person looks PATRIOTIC, I think you don't see his programs

  12. No surprise, and nothing will happened as they guys fully funded and supported by the great power, and unfortunately we as a nation become so hardened to such stories and cases.

  14. All ov u above have read the Coloumn ??
    Cheap Publicity is very ez by critisizing any known person
    wht is hamid mir , i dunt even wana talk abt it
    but as a journalist i will say on news papers these

  15. i am glad to listen about such wonderful news early in morning that arrest warrant issued forHamid Mir.he had used the words in his column which almost hurt each and every pashtun from any where in world.we always condemn biased journalism which hurt the national integrity and harmony.our country is already passing through critical phase such War on Terror affects life badly since 2001.currently balochistan separatist movement is harsh issue for all of us.so that in those situation no one have right to write against any ethnic group.

    • ok do u really want people going to jail for hurting sentiments of other ethnic groups? 70% of this coutry would end up in jail that way.

  17. all journalist community with the hamid mir,
    Mir Sb, i had red that column there was no any wrong information,
    Mir sb, keep it up

    • u read that article but u dnt have any sense/brain to judge that what he really wanna to say…Keeep it Down

  18. i am very glad to listen such wonder news in early morning that arrest warrant is issued for Hamid Mir.because he used such harsh words in his column which hurt every one such as Pashtun from all over the world and liberals form every aspect of life.we should condemn biased journalism in our loved country. irresponsible journalism is hurdle in way of national integrity and unite nation. journalism is key pillar which play a most role in making public opinion .unfortunately our biased journalism(especially urdu portion) always play its irresponsible role which become responsible the great consequences.

    • In my opinion harsh words are very well deserved by those people and if the nation start showing some conviction for action behind such harsh words no one will dare exploiting it for personal sake. But journalism and debates have to be constructive and not focused on creating a hype to attract viewership. This is what our media men do these days. Even more serious is the fact that these anchors are spreading pessimism among the nation and promoting hatred; I wonder whose agenda it has to be…

  27. He was trying to become hero under the cover of freedom of press.He thought to become good anchor ISI, army and government should be abused.He was getting too much air,,timely action to trim him.In any case very few people listen him anymore.Most irresponsible journalist in the country

  29. we don't support any sterotypic act by any journalist in our beloved country. the journalist should be more sensitive than any ordinary person because media is considered as 5th pillar of any state. therefore any irresponsive act by them directly endanger the integrity of the nation of a state. we demand unconditionally apology from Hamid Mir because his act had hurted every patriotic Pakistani and specially pakhtun. pakhtun has given alot of sacrificies for this country .

  31. hahahaha we already had seen lawyer extremism now we r running toward a journalist extremism lets see whose drama will get the award of ignoring the public problems. this country is more like as colonization period of america was….

  34. Good News
    Leader of yellow journalism and paid journalists Hamid Mir will caught soon.

  36. 1. Wyh is it when someone influential and unleashed person like Hamid Mir is punished or ordered to be arrested, we consider it misuse of authority by judiciary?
    2. Why does Hamid Mir involve ISI in everything like Indians do?
    3. Here in England if you mock a nation or a race the way Hamid Mir has done in his editorial, you are taken to courts and duly punished for being RACIST. It does fall under the authority of judiciary, have no doubts about it.
    4. Here in England, you will find people from all over the world who are living and enjoying life whereas, Pakistan has been unable to provide that espect and status to Pashtoons so far.
    LISTEN for this is a fact. Hamid Mir IS on CIA's payroll. The way he extorts and moulds history and facts and does not let anyone challenge them is the way CIA operates. Otherwise, let me tell you, the guy does not have the level of intelligence to really be someone. And he has no right to abuse the PMs and Presidents of this country. Whatever they maybe or whoever they maybe, they have served Pakistan. Its time he should learn manners and civilities…

    • Aamir………. fully agreed with you……. excellent analyses.. Hats off for your approach:)

  42. magistrate did good.hamid mir and jang group ha syet to pay am amount of 8 biilion rupees tax..this gropu is also promoting indian culture in pakistan.

  43. This man should share the same fate of that as Maya Khan and be shunned by society. If you cannot act, behave or speak in a manner which resembles that of how a Human Being should, you do not deserve to be a journalist let alone a member of this society. He actually prides himself in delivering horrible news 24 hours a day. Has Hamid Mir ever heard of "constructive criticism"? Speaking about the problems in Pakistan is a good thing, but only when you make an attempt to bring forth ideas in how to solve them. GEO TV and Hamid Mir never have any solutions for any of our issues – instead they just keep on hilighting about the same problems over and over again. How will that solve anything?

  44. This was a criminal act did by Hamid Mir as a senor journalist.
    We believe in mutual respect.Pakistan is a fedration of different ethenic grouops and it needs to tolerate and respect eachothers not abuse.
    What Hamid Mir did he got the reply from nature.(Tit for tat).
    If we want pakistan a prosperouus and indepent country we should respect all the nations.

    • Dear ihtisham,
      you have used very soft language for hamid although he deserve harsh word,but our code of ethic don't permit to use ……hamid has done very bad job with whole pashtoon nation.his motive behind that to disintegrate pashtoon and parsian in Afghanistan…and salute to Khalid khan,Majid,Zahir Advocate and especial thanks for Magistrate Ibrahim …..

      Sharif Kakar..

  47. I am a pashtoon , and i have read that column. and i dont like hamid mir at all. But did you guys read his column?? he just qouted something from a book to explain the differences between tajik and pashtoons. is that wrong? isnt that true that tajiks hate pashtoons and vice versa.

  50. Hameed Mir sb do u want 2 examine the patience and sacrifice of pashtoon on pakistan.pashtoon r not terrorist. pashtoon r patriotic…………………….

  51. what the hell is going on, there is nothing agaianst pashtoon inthe column then why stupid guy get against him.WE ARE WITH HAMID MIR. KEET IT UP….

  52. I solute to Mr. Hamid Mir due what ever i sayed all is truth we must accept that not critisise him . food work

  56. Mir dont know the histroy of pashtoons.he s an anchorperson who doing everything on the saying of terroist organisation at karachi…bz if he will nt do like that then his main geo office will be close thr…..apsos Mir sb…

  57. He only give reference of other person book on his own words, beher hal every person should take care about any languages, bcoz unity made strength, Bulochi & paktoon should respect each other and punjabi , sindhi also respect blochi and pathan we are one under falg of islam…

  59. Yeh sab lanti agensies ka kam lagata haai…. jo banda Pakistan kay liay awaz uthata hai hamari establishment uss kay issi tarah khilaf hoti hai

  60. Dajjal will have one eye, GEO has one eye…….. pakistani media is dajjal, …all news r against muslims, nothing against anti- muslim, ….

  61. wow good news syasatdanoo ki kabhi mukhalifat aur kabhi chmcha geri kertay hain paison ki khatar un ko under hi rakho baher nahin nikalna.

  64. The magistrate is over reacting possibly because of new found freedom of judiciary. This action is far from satisfactory. Hamid Mir is an accomplished anchor person and such action would be regarded intimidatory.

  65. He must be hanged in Public… a stupid ignorant journalist………..Hamid Mir is the enemy of Pashtoon..

  66. gr8 decision by the magistrates ..he deserves that coz we all are 1 & these all attempts are just 2 destroy our country by creating the gr8 infulence ov racism…we r one and we have 2 fight together against evils..

  71. Hamid Mir hase never been fair as anchor on TV. His style and discussions have been lopsided. One can easily notice his presumption before hand. He must retire and do something else now. People have seen him too much on TV. Hamid, please go home and let some new face take over.

  72. The entire Jung group comprises of people like Hamid Mir, who use all their resources to blackmail the government for the group's interest. They think that they are strong enough to control the country's state of affair and the judiciary as well. People like Hamid Mir should be strongly condemned

  74. He should have abide by the court's notices issued to him earlier. Instead of terming it issue of media freedom he should go and face the court. I had not read his article earlier and have now gone through it. he is so naive as in one of the place he mentioned that the ISI and President Zardari helped Karzai to win in the Afghan Presidential elections by securing the votes of Afghan refugees in Pakistan for him. Interestingly, in the 2009 Presidential elections no polling arrangements were made for the Afghan refugees in Pakistan due to security reaons unlike the 2004 polls. This shows his knowledge about the entire issue,

  75. Why is everyone taking all the anger out on him…how about dissolving PPP b/c Bhutto was the 1st one to discriminate Balochs when he did the 1st military operation against them. 1st hold Bhuttos accountable & then PPP & then others

  76. The issue of Afghanistan is very sensitive as per my point of view. We are technically divided, in Punjab you can see is PML-N, in KPK- ANP, Baluchistan-BLA etc, Sindh-PPP and in Karachi-MQM speakers. Now when a journalist print this type of thing will lead to a problem like this,,,,,we are Pakistanis and we should be Pakistanis instead of Baloach, sindi, panjabi, paktoon etc.

  80. well well well Abdul Majid Kakar, Abdul Wali Nasir and Abdul Zahir.
    U people are heroes of today for taking up a case against hamid mir. Why did it take you such a long time to condemn him for his heroic efforts and guts. Just because you dont have the guts to condemn the wrong. you people start a blame game. HAS ANY BODY ISSUED WARRANTS AGAINT THE AMERICAN SENATORS FOR PASSING A BLL TO SEPARATE BALOCHISTAN FROM PAKISTAN. DID U SERVE THE PRESENT GOVT WITH WARRANTS FOR SELLING OUR MINERALS UNLAWFULLY . NO BECAUSE TO REALLY TAKE A STAND ONE SHOULD HAVE THE GUTS TO FACE REALITIES ON A DEEPER LEVEL. YOU AND THE LIKES OF YOU ARE SUPERFICIAL.

  84. media persons should be penalised on their wrong and hurting words & acts.
    Also their should be a defined rules and regulations for them, on which they should act upon.

  88. This man is a bad spot on journalism. Others like kashif abbasi should also be given this type of punishment as an initial step.

  89. Urooj O Zawwal to Insaan k Muqaddar main hai. bus achcha to ye hai k Insaan, Insaan bana rahey ya Insaan baney ki koshish to karta rahey. shayad is amal se Hamid mir ko kuch seek milay. InshaAllah or Jin bhaiyoon ko Mir sahab k is amal ne hurt kiya hai wo in ko muaaf kar sakain.

  90. Hazrat Wali Kakar has made an emotional delivery without reading what Hamid Mir quoted in his column. Derogatory remarks are made to inflict insult on other ethnic groups by the sons of anarchy who lack wisdom and sow seeds of hatred and animosity. It is true that Afghans have been fighting on ethnic grounds and that is why Afghanistan is what we see today. Even the wisdom in most cases is claimed by this disease. The cost of this historical stupidity is too high.
    Afghans destroyed their country themselves after departure of Russian troops. A never ending war on ethnic lines gave birth to Taliban.
    Lucy Morgan Edwards wrote in her book what Tajiks say in Afghanistan about Pukhtoons. Mir has quoted that and it has nothing to do with our national unity. Pukhtoons are a very respectable and important segment of Pakistani society. Judicial Magistrate in this case seems to be a funny guy.

  92. these guys are supported by the international lobby i mean JEWS lobby .. no one can do anything to them easily .. Geo channel is itself made for this task.. just spread bad as much you can this is what they are basicallyt made for .. arrest them forever !!

  94. I hope he will be in jail for his abuse to Pashtoon brithers. Hamid Mir is never fathful to Pakistan. He delibrately passed on secrets of Military and National security of Pakistan to the enemies, Alqaida and Taliban. He must be punished same as we have Usama bin Ladin. Bravo for the Justice by these brave judges.

  96. Those who express their opinions on this issue must reaed Hamid Mir's article first. He has not made any personal remarks on Pushtoons. He may be good or bad but let us all be fair to him.

  100. He should clear his point of view in front of court as he was summoned for the same.

  103. Pashtoons are great people regardless of what this "munafiq" Kashmiri writes about them, he should remember that it was Pashtoons who liberated Azad Kasmir.

  112. Hamid Mir we the people of Balochistan and Pakistan are with you for becoming the voice of the abused the victims and the helpless, please save us and our beloved Pakistan from these so called "DO GOODERS" who think they know what is right and what is wrong for every one and who have brought our beloved nation to the current sate of crisis.

    PAKISTAN ZINDABAD

  115. you right Mir. we are with you. Those people always black mail when know the truth. Good work God is with you carry on. Good job.

  119. I opine that journalism has been commercialized by some anchorperson to gain ulterior motives and to increase the toll of wealth.

  120. This is anchor sponsored publicity stunt.Mr.Mir could make some capital out of it.It is but natural to promote some heat around to show that he must be doing something right after all.

  121. What a pathetic judgement by a pathetic judge. Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of any decent society and these sort of judgements show what losers some people are.

  122. This news should be taken off from this site because enough publicity has been given and Hamid Mir has achieved his aim through this cheap popilarity.

  124. it is consists on reality that media exceeds and Exaggerate. they must be stopped. they dont care of the upcoming consiquenses but for own devalued reputebility. Now the time to give them shutup call…….

    Zafar I. Bangash.

  126. Hamid Mir is corrupt to the bones and this Geo news is the most pro india channel in pakistan. He and his owners work for unrest in Pakistan with much success

  127. I dont think that Hamid Mir has given any wrong statement against the Pashtoon. He cannot do this, however, if he did so he should be brought to the justice. Pashto tribe is a brave tribe.

  128. No intellect and no manners. Mir is minting money through black mailing. A real stigma on the face of journalist community.

  131. Mir is a so called journalist who is loyal only to those who pay him to buy his loyalties. This stinking man recently sided with a traitor Hussain Haqqani and his corrupt master who had fled away to Dubai for begging the Americans to bail him out. Mir's near ones have disclosed that he was fully aware of the reality of Memo but ultimately it was that huge monetary bribe which became the deciding factor for Hamid Mir. There after, very shamefully he started a defaming campaign against the security institutions of the country and narrated all sorts of cooked up and irrelevant stories and arguments to bail out the evil trio of Zardari, Gilani and Haqqani. Now it is the result of his treasonous activities that a simple Criminal issue was thoroughly politicized as it was presented by him as a conspiracy of the Army against the Government. It was because of his media campaign that the traitor Haqqani was able to get away without being punished. Similarly Zardari and Gilani who felt they had been cornered and would have to face the people's wrath for selling the security of Pakistan to US, were helped by Hamid Mir to get away unscathed. Instead of worrying about our enemies from across our borders we should be more concerned about the enemies like Hamid Mir who are Pakistanis in name but have always worked against Pakistan's national interests. Till such time the people of Pakistan expose these black sheep within our generally patriotic journalist community.

  136. three J,s should be brought to books(judges,generals @journalist) name= shahid

  137. Journalists should be allowed freedom of speech. They are the back bone of building of a nation

  139. I wonder when we people will start taking these people seriously. you have noticed the criticism when it came to Pashtoon but nobody raised their voice when he himself was with the families of missing people and pleading to each and everyone of the nation to raise their voices for the support of those who disappeared. I like Hamid Mir A lot. I take his words seriously but in a progressive manner. We shouldn't take words into context from the whole article instead we should understand the purpose of that article. May ALLAH grant us wisdom to do the impossible.

  140. I would like to know the contect number of Mr. Hamed Mir as well his Email address,
    So please favor with as follows.

    His mobile number and Email ASAP

    Thanks and Regards,

    Mr. Arshad Pervaiz

  142. No One will Dare to arrest Mir,because Media Persons and Terrorists are above Law.They can say and do whatever they like…..

  144. Respected Senior lawyer of Balochistan, Mr.Khalid Khan is too busy to update himself with the daily NEWSPAPERS. But its a good effort. Finally he has reached to Newspapers of Oct 2011. Wakeek sahib ka Matha choom ke Shabaashi dene ko dil karta hei.

  145. I think the gentleman in question has crossed his limits and he should be taken to task. I personally feel that he crosses his limits on an number of occassions and he should reminded of his position.

  146. Hameed ko pansi kisaza oni chai a.
    is ko koi sharm nia a.
    kia tm log bool gahay jb 2 years pelay india nay waga border per pura army jama kia ta, laranay k liay, pir q wapis chalau gahay tay, q k pakista k pakhtoon tribles jin ko aj kal hum terorist samaj rahay a, unoon india ko khabardar kia ta k agar tumara akhial a, k hum pakistan per amla karayngay to hum chup rahayngay. to tumara a khial apnay zain say nika do, q k pakistan army say pelay hum apnay sharadoon ki hifazat k liay ponch jahngay.
