یہ پاکستانی طلبہ، جنہوں نے (پروپوزل فیز میں) MIT اور Stanford جیسی Top universities کو پیچھے چھوڑ دیا، شکر ہے کہ ہودبھائی کے شاگرد نہیں رہے ورنہ آج فزکس پڑھنے کے باوجود علیحدگی پسند، سیاسی یا دفاعی تجزیہ نگار بن کر مذہب و ملت پر تنقید کر رہے ہوتے.

So far this stenographer has come up with three claims:
1) He tweeted "why would I contact the family to report a happening.."

2) Then he mentioned Saad's father didn't want to talk which is a plain lie because his father was away from home on tableegh with no phone. Even we couldn't contact him so how come the people Imran Gabol talked to were able to contact him???

3) And he said "he was told I, Saad's wife, do not talk to unknown persons" which is again not true.

So please let us know which claim is true?

Thank you for clarifying that you (@gabolizm) are in fact what I said – a stenographer for low-tier officials of CTD and nothing more. You also mentioned it was just a report about a happening (the happening in discussion being abduction which was all over social media and you forgot to report that in your stenographic story). You didn't even have to talk to the family for that. Any educated man would know this basic of journalism, YouTuber or not. And if an FIR is the only proof you need to dance for those CTD officials then a big applause.
@dawn_com great job hiring stenographers instead of journalists.

Print journalist here, with 10 years of collective experience at PT, DT, MM & Indus News.

You and I both know that the journalistic practice is to have a version of the other side as well. Even when Israel does something, media outlets make sure to include the IDF's version.

[M Ibrahim Jaffri @sheeo91]

Congratulations! You just confirmed the accusations that you're a 'stenographer' because by your own admission, you simply repeated what the state alleged without seeking the victim's family's version.

You can learn from dawn's reporting about Iman mazari and mahrang baloch's arrest where they quoted both sides and provided additional context for the readers so they'd realise this arrest is motivated to curb dissent.

Credentialism is a signature trait of an insecure individual. Yes, a 'youtuber' will teach you the basics of journalism when your tomfoolery ruins a person's life. Just like you teach the state in your tweets that they've failed and how they could put Pakistan on the path to recovery.

[Fatima Tassadiq @fatimatassadiq]

Australian passport kay rohani fazail. If the victim was Pakistani the story would have already disappeared from the news and the family forced to shut up.

[Qaimkhani @QaimKhanisays]

Nothing resonates more deeply on an emotional level than Baloch and Persian music.

Welcome back bhai 💔💐 Alhamdolillah 🫂

[Muhammad Saad @hafizsaadriaz]

Alhamdulilah I'm back home!
A mentor of mine told me that a journalist should leave no stone unturned to follow a story but should avoid becoming a story at every cost..
But I guess life had different plans.. I will not discuss the ongoing case , just wanted to

@journalisthasan @hafizsaadriaz @EonHoldings Thankyou so much

[Hasan Abdullah @journalisthasan]

I have known @HafizSaadRiaz for a number of years, not just through @EonHoldings, but through our numerous philosophical discussions. Contrary to the preposterous and laughable allegation against him, he subscribes to a gradualist school of social change, something the corrupt and low-intelligence officials involved in his abduction may not even be able to grasp. There appears to be a growing trend in Pakistan of CTD abducting citizens for ransom.

[Dr Usman A. Khan @theMioKhan]

Here’s veteran TRT journalist Hasan Abdullah condemning @hafizsaadriaz’s unlawful detention & the laughable allegations against him.

He knows more about militant terror groups like AQ than even the CTD, having reported from Syria and the Turkish-Syrian border.

[Qaimkhani @QaimKhanisays]

A DSP/Inspector level officer appears to be settling personal score with @hafizsaadriaz. The CTD hastily registered an FIR after realizing they may have erred in detaining Saad, while other law enforcement agencies were trying to determine his whereabouts.
In a state of panic, the same officer is compounding the situation by tampering with his X account and attempting to extract a so called “confessional” statement from Saad during remand.

سعد دہشتگردوں اور علیحدگی پسندوں کے خلاف ہمیشہ ایک موثر آواز رہا ہے۔ سی سی ڈی کی جانب سے اس پر بھونڈے الزامات میں گرفتاری افسوسناک ہی نہیں تشویشناک بھی ہے۔
فوری طور پر رہا کیا جائے۔

[Hanzalah🍁🇵🇸 @hanzlah_saleem]

No family should wake up to masked men taking their loved one away without a warrant. Our friend, a researcher, and a thoughtful voice @hafizsaadriaz was taken from his home in the middle of the night without transparency or due process. Rule of law must be upheld.

[Ayesha A.Qayyum 🇵🇰🇵🇸🍁 @AyeshaA_Q]

When CTD broke into our home, siezed our phones they didn't want anyone from the house to call 15. They communicated with eachother "Dekho koi 15 pr call na kr day". Alhumdullilah, one of the family members was still able to call 15 and the record is there. That is why CTD had to file a fabricated and ridiculous case against Saad because they knew that 15 call can haunt them later.
