Shaheen Sehbai or ‘Mouse’ Sehbai
![shaheen sehbai[1]](http://alaiwah.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/shaheen-sehbai1.jpg?w=122&h=150 "shaheen sehbai[1]")
Mr Shaheen Sehbai (former correspondent of Daily Dawn; former editor of The News; ex Director News of ARY ONE TV Channel; former director of GEO News Network; and presently one of the many editors of the News), escaped from Pakistan to save himself from the so-called wrath of the establishment headed by General Musharraf, after the controversy surrounding his story about the murder of Daniel Pearl. It was apparently simply to obtain the Green Card for himself, and his family in the United States.
Mr Sehbai then started to run a web based news service, i.e., South Asia Tribune, funded through dubious sources, but he suddenly reappeared and closed his website. During his self-imposed exile in the USA, he used to raise hue and cry against the military establishment that he and his family members’ life was in danger, but the so-called danger suddenly vanished after the whole family getting the Green Cards.
He then returned to Pakistan and that too under the same Musharraf regime, and joined ARY TV channel, then GEO, and then the News, where he is presently working.
Upon Zardari coming to power, he suddenly became active, and started writing almost a daily column in order to be noticed by Zardari. He was hoping to be appointed High Commissioner to Canada as he was competing with Haqqani. When this could not materialize, and he realized that Zardari does not read newspapers, he has gradually gone into his Green Card cocoon.
The people like Shaheen Sehbai are never sincere to this soil. When he was not noticed by Zardari he started yelping against him.
Not only this Mr. Sehbai also tried to betray COAS and sat in his feet urging him to intervene before the installation of political set up. The situation would be quite different if Mr. Sehbai was made ambassador to Canada, he would be praising Govt but alas the greedy dog could not get and now woofing madly.
Shaheen Sehbai, the current Group Editor of daily English newspaper The News International, and his two team members Ansar Abbasi and Rauf Klasra are extremely unhappy with the PPP-ANP-JUI Government in Pakistan, particularly with President Asif Zardari.
Does any one know, why?
Here is the list of various demands by this group presented to President Zardari:
1. Removal of a criminal case against Shaheen Sehbai which was registered against Sehbai in 2001. The person who filed the complaint with the Rawalpindi police on 21 August is Khalid Hijazi, who is the former husband of a cousin of Sehbai. The complaint alleges that Sehbai carried out an “armed robbery” in his home on 22 February 2001. Sehbai was told by President Zardari that he must face these charges in a court of law.
2. Sehbai tried to approach Chief Justice Abdul Hamid Dogar for ‘settlement’ of this case but his request was turned down.
3. Shaheen Sehbai’s team members (Ansar Abbasi in particular) are vehement supporters of Jamaat Islami and the Taliban. They are upset with President Zardari because of his decision to fight terrorist of Taliban and Al Qaeda.
4. On February 16, 2002, Sehbai let a story run that “exposed” government Pakistani ties with terrorist bombings in India (a story that also ran in The Washington Post and The International Herald Tribune by the work of the reporter, not Sehbai). The government immediately stopped its advertisements in The News, and put inordinate pressure on the company to fire those involved in the creation and publishing of the story.
5. Mr. Sehbai returned to America and started a web based newspaper, The South Asian Tribune, in which he produced many false stories against Pakistan. Obviously he became bitter towards Musharraf because of Musharraf’s tough stance on war on terror and also because Musharraf had decided to weaken ties between ISI and Jihadis/Talibans. In 2005, Sehbai, announced that he was closing The South Asian Tribune after three years of service.
6. Invitation to the Army Chief General Kayani to intervene in politics: In his highly controversial article in Daily The News on 2 September 2008, Shaheen Sehbai states that the very fact that Asif Zardari is about to become the head of the state of Pakistan proves how big a mess Musharraf made. He says thus it is the army’s duty to fix it as the political parties certainly are not capable of doing it. “Risking the charge that will instantly be thrown at me that I am inviting the Army to intervene again”, he offers a seven-step plan for General Kiyani.
Extremely shameful articles by Shaheen Sehbai. He is asking for a new Martial Law. What a shame. This person has gone nuts.

Great post! keep exposing this mouse.
My Friend you are 100% right, Shahid Masood, Shaheen Sehbai and Ansar Abbasi these three persons are Agent of Jamat-e- Islam and ultimately agent of Taliban and Al qaida
I salute Mr. Shahid Masood, Shaheen Sehbai, Ansar Abbasi and the Chief Justice of Pakistan Supreme Court because of their truthfullness and stand against corruption. There is no doubt about it that the president of Pakistan Mr. Aasif Ali Zerdari is the leader of corruption in Pakistan and if I am not wrong he was very famous as Mr. 10%. He robbed Pakistan and looted the wealth of Pakistan specially in the eara of his slain wife and X Prime Minister of pakistan. Mr. Tindakhour said the 3 honorable people are agent of Jamat, Taliban and Alqaida, I think he is living in fools paradise. I suggest Mr. Tinda to ask Mr. Zardari how did he get 60 million dollars deposited in Swiss banks and gathered 1.8 billion dollar assets all over the world. The answer is very simple, he robbed and looted the resources of Pakistan, cheated the people of Pakistan by taking bribes in international deals. Honestly speaking he should be hanged for his actions. Also he and his family members should be banned from Pakistan politics in future.
Your analysis is so third class that i dont want to into waste much time except few important lines.
First, you have only accusations and no proof
second, getting green card is his right and if that makes him/his-family safe (because green card does provide protection thanks to GOOD USA gov and not the lawless jungle in PAKISTAN) it is his right.
Third,If SS is pro jamat e islami why he exposes Establishment’s link with terrorist ? He is suppose to hide them you idiot.
Fourth, Mr. Hijazi is an ARMY employee and that tells alot about his case on SS.
Third Class article. Just wasted my 5 minutes on this useless allegations.
All the above comments those are from the sons of bastered Zardari. The biggest bastered on earth is Zardari and the smaller is Kayani and both are idiots. Why I blam Kayani because he allow Zardari to damage the country. This is the end of story you Kayani, Gilani, Sharifs and CJ etc. are not realising the suffering of a common man otherwise someone have to step forward to get rid of these bastereds. Look now where the country is standing and I wonder how long it could hold. Allah helps us.
Totally agreed with Tiwana. Just want to add that because of a lot of resources govt. is now able to fight on web for its corruption by using blogs like this one.
