Wajahat S. Khan

Hard talking #pakistani journalist #wajahatsaeedkhan covers #pakistan #pakistannews #pakistanarmy and the #pakistani diaspora like nobody else. His latest report is about why he's leaving the #GangOf4, which is a regular show he conducts with ‪@DrMoeedPirzadaOfficial‬ ‪@drshahbazgill‬ and ‪@SabirShakir‬.

Wajahat's take is simple: he was censored by his colleague/s out of a show which he coowns and coproduces. His views were removed without his permission, nor any warning, for a flimsy reason.

Earlier on July 11, Wajahat helped coproduce the latest version of #gangof4 for Sabir Shakir's channel. But the actual broadcast revealed that almost 10 minutes of Wajahat's and only Wajahat's conversation were wiped clean. Here's the link to that broadcast:    • The Explosive (PODCAST) of the Gang o...  

Considering that Wajahat, Moeed, Gill and Sabir do the show together, and on a roundrobin basis, with nothing ever censored, Wajahat tried to find out why he was censored out of this show.

The excuse that he was given by Sabir was: "Barrister reviewed, he suggested, because our vlogs strictly monitored اور پھر نئے مقدمات فوج میں بغاوت کا الزام , they have plan new cases against us. So some precautions ضروری۔"

This is disingenuous, and a fallacy. No lawyers have been reviewing the shows. And if they are being shown this production, with whose permission?

Wajahat maintains that this censorship by his collegue/s to please the military, as well as other members of the media establishment.
