Description

Mujahid Husain is an investigative journalist, whose work is without frills, focusing on facts that reveal the truth. This makes his work extremely useful because it is bare of Urdu’s usual frills: and unusual because of the torrent of facts at his command. He talks in this book about “Diwaliya Pakistan” (Bankrupt Pakistan) that Urdu journalism is unfamiliar with. Those who go in for English journalism for truth undiluted by emotion should read Mujahid’s book because its presentation is held together with a practical style and heretofore unknown facts. One example is his narration of relationships between Imran Khan and the two Bajwas that we know little about. The first Bajwa is Lieutenant- General Asim Saleem Bajwa and the second is General Qamar Javed Bajwa, both ironically linked to accumulated fort tines abroad, but the latter is responsible for Khan’s final comedown. The details of these two relationships lie at the root of Pakistan’s current narrative. What one must not ignore however is the unconventional Urdu style of writing employed by Mujahid Husain: no frills, but flowing to prevent the reader from wandering from the theme. Other accounts like the one on Maw. Sharif and the other on the Bhutto-Zardari clan unveil details of unsavoury corruption that mars the life-stories of most Pakistani politicians and moral bankruptcy of both sorts, civilian and military. The style is without irritating sub clauses-which means no exaggeration because the facts themselves appear overwhelming.

About the Author

Mujahid Hussain, a seasoned investigative journalist, has dedicated the past three decades of his career to shedding light on political and social issues, with a particular focus on religious extremism. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with prominent newspapers, magazines, and television channels in Pakistan. Earlier, he authored books that exposed individual and institutional corruption within Pakistan. These publications aimed to uncover the underlying causes and ramifications of corruption within the country. He wrote the first-ever book on the Punjabi Taliban, a highly dangerous faction within the Taliban terrorist group. He had to face difficulties and challenges as a result of his work, as those in influential positions often disapprove of his investigative journalism. Mujahid loves travelling and exploring different parts of the world. His experiences abroad have likely broadened his perspective and provided him with valuable insights into global issues. Through his journalistic approach, Mujahid attempts to unravel the reasons behind Pakistan's troubled state of affairs, despite its population of over 250 million people.
