The committees and commisions are made by design in pakistan so as to get the decision/justice of own choice. Is our police and relevant agencies so impotent that they can't even investigate/probe. No sir, they are professionals and we should let them do their job independently but it is next to impossible in our country. Politicians will never let it happen because their interests are always above the national interests.
Do PMLN's supporter still have a reason to support PMLN. How many evidences are needed to convince people of the evil intentions of these monsters and this monstrous party. People still expect these thugs will protect their country. I feel pity for PMLN supporters. PMLN was created with the malicious intentions and it will keep providing protection to the criminals. Does PM/ CM has any moral right now to still rule?
Hav'nt the seven days of the committee passed yet? Where is the report?
Oh well.... you guys are probably forgetting what they did to Kamran Faisal's body. They dug it out, sent it for post-mortem, and nobody found out anything. The man was killed, and they made it look like a suicide with scratch marks all over his body before he hung himself? Why do you think someone who is shame-proof would care about a mere video?
I am surprised how these stupid blame games could not upset anyone because they upset me. The reason is simple: They insult my intelligence!!
The Punjab government on Thursday formed a committee to cover up Punjab Law Minister Rana Mashood’s video scandal, when they form a commission they know that the law is on there side they can shove everything under the carpet. LHC will defend the culprit and corruption of Shareef brothers.. and nothing will happen ..all the judges are on the payroll of Jati Umera.
This would break heart of all PTI lovers or Luqman lovers that this scandal has already probed in by Supreme Court in 2012. Most of you are not aware that its a video from 2012...wait for more details which would obviously and should break hearts of all PTIs
There should be independent committee for the polygraph test will come to know the truth it should be live on tv
Any one with a little sense can tell that this video is not at all fake and it explain how our elite rule with corruption and control on our masses which are living miserable life and even than they will re-elect and defend these people(Thugs). And This is not CCTV footage. This a proper spy camera with microphone probably hidden in the sofa somewhere. Grow up and stop defending every crime of the Naseebo leaguers. Even Rana Mashood himself is not claiming it to be fake as he said on TV when he appeared on Hamid Mir’s program. He only said that there is no continuity in the clips” but did not say that they were fake.

The best way to check it to see the bank statement of the account the cheque was deposited.
They were just collecting money for charity.
Congrats, problem solved.
@PapiBaba: Munna, this is not CCTV footage. This a proper spy camera with microphone probably hidden in the sofa somewhere. Grow up and stop defending every crime of the Naseebo leaguers. Even Rana mashood himself is not claiming it to be fake as he said on TV when he appeared on Hamid Mir's program. He only said that t"here is no continuity in the clips" but did not say that they were fake.
@Blithe: No, its a Martian wearing a face mask resembling mr. Rana. Grow up mister, and accept facts or keep your trap shut.
@Imran Khan: Nice try!
LHC will defend the culprit and corruption of Shareef brothers..and nothing will happen ..all the judges on the payroll
Any one that is shocked from this video, welcome from your cave now you have to catch up on last 20 years of politics.
I am going to go out on a limb and make a very bold prediction, Not Guilty. in another completely unrelated news: Gullo butt was taped again smashing more cars in news room parking lot because he was upset that news channel didn't capture his good side nor his awesome dialogues (how many car were there!) in previous shooting with police. He lost the leading role in next upcoming movie as result.
Where is our FIA and Nab if investigation is done by corrupt political people
@Anjum Arshi: How about the cashed cheque of Rs. 20 lakh shown by Luqman today on ARY. That is also fake :) The money as gone to Mashud`s account. I am wondering about the Rs. 80 lakhs gone to Khadem-e-Aala. Who will form the committee for that NS :)
@PapiBaba: Luqman has also shown the Allied Bank cashed Rs.20 lakh cheque today on ARY. That cheque is also fake. Wake up N_leagures and stop supporting these criminal looters.
I don't know about any one else but this just amazes me.! A 3 member committee which comprises of members from the same party as the accused will probe the video. Seriously! !! Shouldn't an independent committee be put together. I still salute all of you for still thinking this government will provide you justice. Main sadqe qurban mera sohna Pakistan
A committee has been formed on orders of CM Punjab to probe into the authenticity of the video clip. The same CM for whom the bribe has been demanded. Funny.
Punjab should cede from Pakistan and leave the other provinces in peace.
We are the WWF of democracy. It's all fake!
Punjab is a lost cause.
@PML-N: Mr. LOL, videos can be faked. You probably still live in the 1960s?
After seeing this video I am thinking why I am paying taxes from my hard earned income to these thugs.
@Karachi Mirchi: It is true the duty of any commission or committee appointed by any Govt is to save the culprit.
The rulers are looting considering this as their last chance.
I do not doubt for a moment that our ministers are not corrupt. They are definately corrupt. But as you can see the tape is edited, as well as the Lip sync do not match. Overall a good attempt. But no its not a convincing evidence.
Corruption, bribery, rigging is forgivable in current Badshahi Pakistani Democracy.
'Allegedly'??? What more evidence do people need?
PTI doesnt need committees because their gullu butts in KPK like Ali Muhammad Khan are sitting MNAs and have the moral authority by his royal highness IK to steal the majority mandate of Pakistan.
This is not a party diciplinary case Mr. Shehbaz Sharif. This is a criminal case. Criminal cases are not investigated by party members. Please ask the police and judges to investigate this. Oh, wait, those two are are not independent either. Never mind, there will be no justice.
You know what the funniest part of this story is? This is the LAW minister of the Punjab govt setting up for bribes!! He most likely made up this committee of his friends himself. No wonder people call this sham democracy.
Showing true color of PMLN. This is not an "alleged" video leak but PROOF of the corruption at the higest level. Does anyone expect any different from the 3rd term of these looters? Not me. What a laugh that a criminal case of corruption will be investigated by his party friends. Where is the suo moto judiciary now?
rana mashood should resign now until proven not guilty
Any one with little bit of sense can easily tell that its a doctored (fake) video in which audio has been added. The office in which Rana Mashood is sitting belongs to PMLQ MPA Zubia Rubab Malik. Rana Mashood was Deputy Speaker Punjab assembly at that time so its not a crime to meet with an mpa & her husband in their office.
After a tense 5 minute meeting and a few phone call from Shahbaz Sharif, the three member darbari league committee recommended that Rana Mashqooq should be made the head of NADRA!
@PapiBaba: Are you really sure? Cctv has no audio capability - perhaps you redo your research.
If guilty make an example out of him! Sound bites in CCTV?
PMLn dispensing justice through its own committe members & 'LOHAR' courts, sad state of the state.
This is a really democracy, where these elected dictators do what ever they like, they love that kind of democracy where they rob people and make money.even if they get cought they never admitted it.these people are real enemy of pakistan.they should be hanged because they breach thire oth.
This word committee has become a pill to evaporate all wrongdoings.
To whoever says there's no audio on CCTV, please double check. Audio is an optional add on which one can get while getting cameras fixed. I know some of these ministers personally and they have been making BILLIONs not millions lately in kick backs. May Allah guide us to choose our representatives wisely!! Ameen
@papibaba CCTV do come with audio.. I have installed in my shop to hear how my employees talk to customers and it is absolutely clear if they abuse talk rudely answer to customer rudely i can hear all the recordings. As for me half of selling is done on how employees talk with customers. so come out of the stone ages. see the internet all type of cameras are available.
Isn't he the same guy who appeared on TV few days ago and gave us big lecture on ethics, democracy, rule of law, etc........seriously I despise him because he looks fraudster to me !!!
"Rana Mashood allegedly seeking a bribe on behalf of the chief minister" then... "Following the orders of Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif , Raja Ashfaq Sarwar formed the committee" Khud hi mulzam, khud hi munsaf.
Why criminal cases are given to such idiotic committees? Police should intervene and start own investigations at own will!
PTI and PAT converge - reminds me of Musharraf's "referendum".
@Usama: The interesting thing is that IK new about this video before it was made public. It could have been doctored by IK and "the very ethical " Mubadhar Lucman.
Committee's function in Pakistan is to push the dirt under the rug and whitewash the misdeeds. Reason why PTI & PAT do not believe in Committees.
Where Gullu butt is released to whom whole nation saw on television vandalising private property and leading police in state terrorism.No justice done with him. Mr. Mashood case is very weak comparison to that. Nothing will happen, Justice will be killed.
And another one bites the dust...
Firstly the use of word ALLEGEDLY is awesome as it was pretty clear who is in the video and what he is asking and secondly the committee of PML-N ministers? LOL...
Any one with a little sense can tell that this video is not at all fake and it explain how our elite rule with corruption and control on our masses which are living miserable life and even than they will re-elect and defend these people(Thugs).
Going by what is fashionable today.........this will not be considered as evidence or wrong doing.
