Accept my apologies for delayed reply. Please refer Asia Times Online letter section and you would find your letter and my reply posted.
1) I was recently tried to make victim of breaching official secret act in the country for which different youth organizations took to the street in my favour, decorated the walls and Roads of the whole city with banners (whose photographs were released by national news agencies) in my favour.
Federal Union of Journalist reacted strongly and so national political parties in the national Press, forcing the coalition partner in the province to step back. I always "steal" the information, taking dictation from any one is not my way.
2) I started my career in journalism about 10 years ago from The STAR, Dawn group of Newspapers but never reported daily crime events.
In the initial phase of my career I used to write human interest stories in hospitals, later I was assigned to write on power sector. On power sector, I contributed for Dawn's Economic and Business Review section as well. Later I was assigned for Power Sector and Aviation both. When present Bureau Chief AFP in Karachi decided to leave The STAR after his prolong association as Chief Reporter, I replaced him and since then covered political issues regularly . Some times crime stories carry strong political angles like recent murder of underworld kingpin Shoaib Khan on which my story stirred up the political climate and jolted the provincial government. I still lead STAR staff reporters team in Karachi as well as a big network of reporters all across the country.
I travelled to Iraq twice. Just before the war and soon after the war therefore, not only I got a chance to study the dynamics of the society but cultivated sources who still helps me writing stories.

My mail was
Salaam,
First of all congratulation on breaking out the story of death sentenced to army personal against assassination attempt on President Musharraf. I am a regular reader of your column in AOL and I was expecting as well as waiting that one of the biggest breaking news of the assassination on President Musharraf on Karachi will gone to be break through you. I am sorry but you are also inspired or may be pressurize or may be you are also one of those who take dictation from the intelligence agency of Pakistan. It seems to be true, recently when your articles were not become the light of the screen, because of interrogation from these agency who is your biggest source.
If you want to break this image then why you are not going to bring the actual story of 11 June firing on Motorcade of Core Commander Karachi ? That it was not the attack on Core Commander, It was basically attack on President Mushharraf who was here in Karachi for his secret personal visit and Core Commander was not here in Karachi at that time. Lt.Gen.Ahsan Saleem Hiyat, later become General and vice chief of army staff because his son who was the ADC of president and he was the guy who drove his car and bring out president from location.
I am sorry if you not like my way of writing but you know truth is truth it has to come in front of the people.
Waiting for your reply and looking for future conversation and interaction. If you have any hotmail account plzzz send me.
Thanks
You are a crime reporter of daily star.I am surprize how you are writing an article on iraq sitaution and by the way your views a look like an uninformed reporter which can never be successful in his life but by the feed of intelligence agencies.
Thanks
