Life threat to Muzamal Suharwardy and his family from Imtinan Shahid & PUJ President Rana Azeem

 

LIFE THREAT TO ME AND MY FAMILY MEMBERS FROM IMTINAN SHAHID PUJ PRESIDENT RANA AZEEM AND THEIR GUNDAS.

Dear Journalists.

I Muzamal Suharwardy am a journalist from Lahore. I am in profession for last more than twenty years. During this I have been elected as Vice president of Lahore Press Club too.

Iand my family are in litigation with Zia Shahid and his Son Imtinan Shahid for last two years. To compel me to with draw my cases Zia has used various illegal methods, including a highly defamatory campaign against me and my family members in his newspaper daily Khabrain, and lodging against me and my other family members four highly malicious Firs which have all been cancelled.

In relation to defamatory campaign against me and my family members My father has won against Zia Shahid and his family members a money decree of Rupees One Crores from the Court of Additional District and Session Judge Musharraf Sumra with additional verdict that Zia Shahid and Imtinan Shahid will apologise from me in their newspaper as many times as they have published defamatory material against me. I along with my father have also filed criminal private complaints against Imtinan Shahid and Zia Shahid for defamation. These are pending adjudication in the Court of Additional District and Session judge Lahore Mr Yousaf Aujla. 

My family members own shares in owner company of Daily Khabrain Liberty papers Limited. They have filed against Zia Shahid and his family members a petition u/s 494 of the Companies ordinance. This case is pending adjudication in Lahore High Court in the Court of Justice Mansoor Ali Shah. In this case Dr Perviaz Hassan and his company Hassan & Hassan were appointed local commission. He has given a clear finding against Zia Shahid and Imtinan Shahid in his report.

On 21^st  April 2011, when I along with my father  were present in the Court of Additional Session Judge Yousaf Aujla for the hearing of private complaint. Imtinan Shahid came to the court with PUJ President Rana Azeem, and a large number of Gundas. He and his Gundas threatened to kill me and my father if we both did not withdraw all the litigation against him and Zia Shahid. I called police emergency (15) from the Court of Additional Session Judge Yousaf Aujla for rescue.

Police came and guarded us safely from the court to our home. The honourable judge also witnessed the situation. He ordered for my and my father's police protection and also ordered for appropriate legal proceedings.

Zia Shahid his son Imtinan Shahid along with PUJ President Rana Azeem and his Gundas are regularly threatening us through various methods and the police is not providing protection to me and my family.

The latest reason for Zia Shahid and his son Imtinan Shahid to become so extremely violent is that my father has accepted in 2^nd week of March 2011 a brief of Bank of Punjab against him and his family members to lodge a criminal case and prosecute against him for kick back in lease finance of nine crores.

I am writing to the journalist community through this letter for my protection.  . During all this litigation from last two years I have deliberately not approachedany journalist forum. I was fighting through legal methods in Court's.  Now Imtinan Shahid and his Gundas are resorting to violence and terrorism and are threatening to kill me and my family members.

If police will not provide me and family protection despite orders of Additional Session Judge Yousaf Aujla and any thing happens to me or any of my family members, every member of the journalist community is requested to handover this letter to law enforcing agencies for prosecutions of Zia Shahid, Imtinan Shahid PUJ President Rana Azeem and their Gundas.
