| My speech was distorted: Yasin Malik |
| 2005-06-17 |
| Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Chairman Yasin Malik on Thursday said that a Pakistani English newspaper published concocted and unfounded contents while reporting his June 13 speech. "My speech never carried contents like training camps or guns, but the newspaper showing professional dishonesty included these unfounded and baseless sentences as part of my speech," he told reporters before leaving for Muzaffarabad. The newspaper had reported Yasin Malik as saying that Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed had patronised a training camp for Kashmiri militants. He lamented the Indian External Affairs Ministry for reacting on the alleged disclosure without confirming the veracity of the report. "The External Affairs Ministry should have seen the video tape of my speech prior to issuing their reaction on the subject," he said. "I did not make the speech in front of a camera. Around 100 reporters were present there. It is a simple case of journalistic dishonesty," he said. |

| #6 There were reports that he suffered a stroke. He walked across the border bridge quite well though. The threat of an ISI induced stroke has taught him to watch his language. |

| #1 Lol! "The External Affairs Ministry should have seen the video tape of my speech prior to issuing their reaction on the subject," he said. "I did not make the speech in front of a camera. Around 100 reporters were present there. It is a simple case of journalistic dishonesty," he said. Lol - That just makes no sense at all. Shoulda looked at the tape, but it wasn't taped. Right. Aw hell, who cares? BizarroLand. |
