Mired in controversy over an interview of Malik Riaz, Dunya News’ former anchor, Mubasher Lucman, has come up with a video on YouTube, trying to clarify his position in the issue of now infamous footage leak almost two weeks ago. He says that he did nothing wrong, that the interview was not planted, that it was not an attempt to scandalise judiciary and that if any anchor of other news channels wants to question him, he is available. Mubasher claimed he wasn’t naming names or providing details of that day’s events. “I am here to explain myself because I owe it to my family, my children, my friends and most importantly, my viewers,” he said and added, “For those who believe in truth, no explanation is needed; and for those who do not believe in truth, no explanation can be given.” In the 22-odd minutes two-part video, he says that he wants to clear the situation about some objections raised by his critics. He also offered an explanation as to why he was unable to come on air or online soon. “My media channel had suspended me, that’s why I was unable to come on air but now that I have resigned from my channel, I have chosen this very channel [YouTube] – the same where that behind-the-scenes video was leaked – to offer my version of the events.” He said he resigned from Dunya TV on his own will as the channel was under pressure because of him, and added that he was not going anywhere and would continue to reside in Lahore.

  1. Did he say how much he sold out for? Just curious to know how much money it takes to buy an anchor. I heard they are not cheap.

    • don't worry, he will be back…. just like "dr." aamir liaqat or maya khan. This is Pakistan, the land of the shameless

  9. We only see one side of story. we have made up our mind not to believe him. Things we saw are part of media,that is how it operates . we are reacting only because we are not used to stuff we saw

  13. You can buy them reasonably cheap and do anything with them – "anything under the sun"!

    • Hmmmm. Can I rent them too before I decide to buy one? I don't need to keep them, I just need to use them for a little while.

  16. People…. plz see his series of programs prior to the one in which he got caught. He was continuously and constantly speaking against judiciary and in favor of Malik Riaz.

  17. I do believe he has Some Good in him as He said in the interview about How the interview was Being Done under pressure! we Must hear him out too Not Just Be Ignorant!

  20. Mubashir must be given a chance to speak. Duniya tv,don’t fear stalwart have a big heart

  21. Problems with Pakistani nation is an instant opinion without inquiry, i all critics to post their prices as well if every one is for sale. Every media person trying to gain mileage,can anyone pick up courage to challenge Arslan,or interview M.Riaz, its an open challenge to all media person. .

  22. IT is well known in Pakistan that buying & selling of people is considered a good deal.
    Everyone has a price,one can't exclude journalists ,TV owners & others in our media.This is good chance for the government to investigate & punished the culprits .

  25. Has anyone in Pakistan EVER accepted their guilt, except for Mohammad Amir?? Even Salman Butt is now saying the only mistake he made was not reporting the bribe offers to PCB! LOLS. Lies lie lies……

  26. why mehr bokhari is there? why mubashar was forced to resign by admanistration when owners themselves were sold put?

  28. I think Mr. Mubashar must be given a chance to clear his position as was given to Mrs. Mehar Kashif Abbasi (Bukhari). I hope some leading channel will do this job in the interest of its viewers.

  32. People…. plz see his series of programs prior to the one in which he got caught. He was continuously and constantly speaking against judiciary and in favor of Malik Riaz.

  33. No news media can ever claim that it's neutral, it could be rightest, leftist, imperialist, capitalist, going by the ideology or management policy. Malik Riaz was there to explain his side, both Mubashar & Mehar assisted him in putting up his view point through a set of appropirate questions. What' wrong with it? It's a general practice that guest & host agree on the interview layout, type of questions & the questions not to be asked. Is this hue and cry for dumping the Dr. Iftikhar case, sorry that may not happen!

  34. I do believe he has Some Good in him as He said in the interview about How the interview was Being Done under pressure! we Must hear him out too Not Just Be Ignorant!

  37. He himself admitted that he sold his stories/reports to Mazhar Majeed (Spot-Fixing Fame)and later those stories were published by the name of Mazhar Majeed!!!

  38. if dunya tv channel was not available to him he could communicate his explanation through print media.mr luqman you cant make fool of us so easily you are a gone case

  41. Mr. Mubashar Lukman.

    I am very sorry about the person who licked video and committed crimes also who break this video are also the same minded.

    Unfortunately we are not taking care of our self we are aggressive groups who are the part of illiterate society we do not have vision and mission we are struggling for money not for credibility we want reach over night we don’t care either some one become victim.

    But any way my all sympathies are always be with you and may Lord God protect you and your whole family

  42. MALIK RIAZ CAN BUY ANY ONE BE IT GENERAL ADMIRAL OR AIR MARSHAL OR ANY TOP ANCHOR … NO PROBLEM … EVERY ONE IN PAKISTAN HAS A PRICE … HA HA HA

    • @ P S AHMAD ……. YOU FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE SON OF THE CJP AND POSSIBLY THE PAPA TOO.

  52. We only see one side of story. we have made up our mind not to believe him. Things we saw are part of media,that is how it operates . we are reacting only because we are not used to stuff we saw

  53. thats funny, when Talat Hussain or Dr. Shahid were forced by their company heads to do somthing planned and unethical, they resigned, but Mubashar bechara was FORCED to do this interview!!! such crap..and in the response he did not validate that why he did this, he just kept giving examples that people around the world do it…then you are no different Mubashar!!! i expected better from you…the ISF expected better..really!!!

  57. statements such as 'For those who believe in truth, no explanation is needed' are terribly presumptious and sweeping. I am sick of such cliched talk. I believe in the truth and I definitely think some explanation should be offered, otherwise by default it doesn't look too good for Mr Luqman.

  61. We must hear the other side also, one eyed decision is always WRONG n UNJUSTIFIED watch these 2 video of mubshir luqman after leaked video interview of Malik Riaz Hussian and Meher Bukhari

  62. I think he presented a reasonable explaination and it is knwon fact that politician sends sms and call anchors during running live shows. I don't see any conspiracy from him but from Mehr side.
    He said nothing during the leaked video which is pure planted but she said many thing which are objectionable so show some respect and adopt a positive attitude towards him or any other human being. Due to his bold attitude he has created so many enemies that in the result his friends are hesitant to support him as well and this is so wrong.

  66. Luqman sahib if you have done no wrong why these clarifications.I think your conscious is pricking you. U had enough making of the politicians ,generals,judiciary without any fear of accountability. Aiada hoshiaree dekhaney waloon ka yahi anjam hota hai.You had good days pl now forgive the viewers

  73. He is such a liar….we are not stupid…..Mubasher lucman please don't show your face please please

  74. All the guys who hv posted their comments above, whether u believe it or not, all the interviews given by politicians, businessmen or any public person are always planted, and they are arranged as to what questions will be put to the interview. Only difference in this case is that video has been released with some political motive by somebody who may have links to some political quarters who see their political interests served. Big money seems to hv been invested by certain political forces(PMLN) to release this video. CJ son 's corruption issue should not be mixed with this.

  75. All of these kind of loudmouthed “stalwarts” are like items on a stall, can be bought at any price, like the ladies bargaining with the shopkeepers!!
    Riaz “marasi” bought a fine “chhoorha” Lucman and “musallan” Mehr!! 😛 The time has gone for any explanations, so Mr. Lucman, I suggest you and Mehr start your own tv channel with the help of briber tycoon and Mehr and name it “Bahria” channel!! Maybe you also get a plot in favor of this!!!!!

  76. @ Mired in controversy over an interview of Malik Riaz, Dunya News’ former anchor

    "We have indeed TESTED those who were before them; and
    ALLAH WILL CERTAINLY MAKE IT KNOWN THOSE WHO WERE **TRUTHFUL**
    AND HE WILL CERTAINLY MAKE KNOWN THE **LIARS**.” [Surah Ankabut 29:2-3]
