PVMC Action Against Dr. Jassar
PVMC Action against Dr. Jassar | PVMC to start action on allegation of fake news | میرے خلاف پی وی ایم سی کا ایکشن زیر غور، جھوٹی خبروں سے بدنام کرنے کا الزام
ملتان میں مبینہ جعلی رفاہ ویٹرنری کالج کی منظوری، ویٹرنری ایجوکیشن کی تاریخ کا سب سے بڑا سکینڈل
I was placed on point number 13 in the agenda of the 49th meeting of the Pakistan Veterinary Medical Council. According to the agenda, the council members were requested to take action against me under Section 22 (i) of the Pakistan Veterinary Medical Council Act 1996. In simple words, the matter regarding cancellation of my registration with the Pakistan Veterinary Medical Council was raised in the council meeting.
The Allegations Made Against Dr. Jassar Aftab
According to the working paper of the meeting, while writing my name, it was said that I, as a so-called columnist/journalist who is also a registered veterinarian, publish false news and information against the Pakistan Veterinary Medical Council in newspapers and social media, which is bringing the council into disrepute. Moreover, through this false information, I am making the minds of young veterinary doctors against the PVMC. Action should be initiated against me for defaming the council.
Who Has the Authority to Judge Journalism?
Who are you to take action against me on your own based on my news? The disrepute that PVMC is getting among young veterinary professionals as well as veterinary professionals across Pakistan is not because of my news but because of the actions of the mafia controlling PVMC and the PVMC management.
I only highlight these actions of this mafia and present them to the people. Instead of you answering the questions that arise before you and giving up your arrogance and freeing this institution from the mafia’s control, and giving up your cunning and running the institution as an institution, you start taking action against those who raise your voice and criticize.
Criticism Is Not a Ground for Disciplinary Action
It is strange that sometimes you threaten to make them stop and when no one is afraid of these threats, you threaten to cancel the registration. It is like a columnist or journalist writing a column or reporting against the police and the police cut off the sheet of it and start taking action against him. Yes, as a veterinary professional, if I have a complaint somewhere, you can definitely take action.
On the other hand, if you have any objection to my news or my columns or if you consider my news to be false, then go to court against me with great enthusiasm. Whatever I have written about the Pakistan Veterinary Medical Council till date, I stand by every word of it. There is no question of false news or baseless analysis on my part about the PVMC.
Council Members Should Carefully Read the Law
It should also be clear here that any decision of the council meeting of the Pakistan Veterinary Medical Council is the decision of every member and it is assumed that every member has ratified this decision by applying mind. Therefore, it is requested that you take out time and re-read Section 22 of the PVMC Act and, along with it, carefully re-read the PVMC Regulations 2000 because this is not a joke, it is a legal matter which has to be decided in court. Therefore, kindly sign and apply mind.
Questions That Deserve Greater Attention
A couple of council members, one of whom I have a great respect for, were reportedly feeling more pain at the council’s defamation in the meeting and were relatively eager to take action against me. I would like to request that you look at the council’s affairs impartially sometime. I hope you will feel more pain than the defamation of the institution.
Along with this, I will also ask them for the details of the NAB letter that was written to the Pakistan Veterinary Medical Council on January 17, 2020. I will also definitely study the letter written in response to the NAB letter written earlier on December 23, 2019. I hope that your pain will increase further as to how the institution is being used to escape. Since I have no personal fight with anyone, I also avoid talking about personal matters.
Many people have told me many times that you have so much material regarding the mafia controlling the council, why don’t you go to court against them. My answer is that I wish that these matters go to court somehow, but it is not my job because I do not have any personal fight. My job is to expose them; if there is any deficiency in this, then definitely tell me. But hopefully, now this wish of mine will also be fulfilled and they will definitely go to court against me on the charge of spreading false news.
I Am Prepared to Take the Legal Route
Even if they do not go to court, I humbly say that now I will definitely take the legal route and tell them, within the ambit of the law, how they dared to accuse me of spreading false news. They will find out what lawyers are and what courts are.
On the other hand, I voluntarily offer myself that whatever I have written in my columns or published news about the Pakistan Veterinary Medical Council till date, all this material should be collected and any relevant highest forum of Pakistan should investigate it at any time, or rather, a judicial inquiry should be conducted. I will justify each and every word I say.
No One Should Be Silenced Through Fear
They want to suppress those who raise their voices against them so much that people learn from them and no one else dares to speak out of fear. Veterinary professionals across Pakistan should not worry; now this fear of yours will also end.
Finally, an important thing. Respected President PVMC, there is no doubt that I am a columnist and journalist, so calling me “So Called” will not give you anything except a small joy in your heart. Yes, you can definitely be called the “So Called President” of PVMC.
