BREAKING NEWS: “Channel S” fails to publish the key Questions as put to “Lutfur for mayor” supporter Shiraj by AADHIKAROnline on Tuesday 19 October.
Muhammad Haque asked the questions concerning the fact that no court action or process had been started or initiated by or on behalf of Lutfur Rahman against the perpetrators of what they [the organisers of the “news conference” and the supporters of Lutfur Rahman] had claimed to be lies by the “other side” alleged in the “dossier’ against Lutfur Rahman. They had named Abbas Uddin “Helal’ and repeatedly described him in context as a “liar” who they said was unfit to “be the mayor” on the basis of his “lying”.
In replying to Muhammad Haque’s questions, Shiraj said that he was not speaking on behalf of Lutfur Rahman but he could confirm that he [and others working with him] had consulted on the “lies” and had been advised that they had “a strong case”.
He then added that they had also established that there was sufficient time still left to deal with those “lies” through the legal process. He said that there was a year left in which to pursue any claims through the system. They would attend to the issues after Thursday 21 October 2010.
OUR diagnostic comments and observations:
This is remarkable!
Why?
Because the same side – Lutfur Raman as represented by his “supporters” we have named and identified here – had gone to court more than once in the run up to the Labour Party [Tower Hamlets] “members’ vote” as published on 4 September 2010. And they also went to court AFTER the IMPOSITION of Abbas Uddin “Helal” by mysteriously treating as void the verdict of the Labour Party’s Tower Hamlets members about who they thought was their choice as “candidate” of the Party in the alleged election as scheduled to be held tomorrow 21 October 2010.
Questions still remain unanswered:
So why hadn’t Shiraj and or the other [relevant and decision-making] supporters of “the Lutfur Rahman for mayor campaign” done the same thing after the publication by the persons and the parties concerned of what they were recently describing as lies, lies and nothing but lies – and conspiracies AGAINST Lutfur Rahman?
There was no objectively plausible or process-verifiable CONTEXTUAL answer to that question at the “news conference”.
No other “journalist” present at the event either followed up Muhammad Haque’s question nor did they ask any question of their own related to the central role that the particular series of PUBLISHED allegations against Lutfur Rahman in the past year had played in the creation of the multi-faceted crisis in Tower Hamlets concerning so many aspects of the community in the immediate area and with multiple subsidiary and linked implications in the rest of the UK and even elsewhere!
The allegations had begun to appear in the CURRENT CYCLE [In LATER parts of these AADHIKARonline exclusive factual and diagnostic updates, we shall deal with the history of where and when they had appeared the very first time] at the end of February 2010 when the London Daily Telegraph Group allowed Andrew Gilligan to embark on his brand of the Crusade. In his Dispatches edition broadcast on Channel 4 TV in the first week of March 2010, Gilligan ASSERTED explicitly a number of allegations against Lutfur Rahman. That was just under a month after the 6 February 2010 demonstration held outside the Brady Centre in Hanbury Street [off Brick Lane] in which THIS CAMPAIGN [Bhangeelaar!] against an elected mayor system in Tower Hamlets took active part. The focus of that demonstration was the event that was taking place inside the Brady Centre where the “YES” for a mayor campaign was being launched with the participation of Ken Livingstone, Keith Vaz and George Galloway as well as at least one member of the UK House of Lords introduced as Lord Patel. At that stage, no one could say how that campaign would fare or indeed what the outcome of the referendum would be as it was still to be held later in the year. On 6 February 2010, the date of a referendum was still unknown.
But the FACT that a referendum on the question about the change to the Constitution of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council was in the offing in the Borough was ALREADY being used by Andrew Gilligan who mounted what was CERTAIN to be a cover for a racist attack on the Bangladeshis in the UK.
How was Gilligan attacking the Bangladeshis in the UK?
The proof of that is to be found in the thousands of racist comments that Gilligan has “inspired” and represented in his “blog” on the Daily Telegraph web site and through his other, less publicised but actual activities such as his periodic appearances in the SPECTATOR magazine and via its own slightly disguised web site called the coffeehouse!
And it is in this context that last night’s questions by Muhammad Haque addressed some of the key aspects of the particular crisis of confidence with very serious long term ramifications that has been brought about over the past eight months.
So what did “Channel S” do?
It did film and otherwise record and note the questions as they were put. “Channel S” also recorded the responses to Muhammad Haque’s questions as stated by Shiraj in the main and by one of his colleagues, Dr Hasnat Hussein, facing the “news conference”.
On an objective reading of all the relevant facts, the activities and the claims, the general allegations and IN PARTCULAR the devastating blow in the name of the “Labour Party” by the Harriet Harman-fronted NEC [as recounted online by Christine Shawcroft, a Labour Party NEC member] to the universal values of democracy, adult franchise [the right to vote] and to the principles of internal democracy and transparency which all Political parties are obliged to observe and are expressly obliged to practise and to be seen to be practising, have been USED in the partisan propaganda ‘news’ on Channel S over the past months. Except that Channel S has NEVER published one single “news item” dealing with the core of the ACTION [IF ANY AT ALL] by the Lutfur Rahman side on those allegations let alone about the PART that those allegations were playing in the build up to today’s crisis affecting fart more than the plans of a very small number of individuals on the relevant sides concerning the already widely questioned, criticised, condemned and tainted ballot as scheduled for tomorrow.
“Channel S” maintained its “journalism” on Tuesday 19 October 2010 by suppression of the key questions and the relevant responses on them and by giving priority and the only coverage INSTEAD to the prattling propaganda by the peddling participants posing as paragons of solemnity, integrity, reliability and so on…
We examine Neil Kinnock’s arrival, as presented by “Channel S” news, here shortly
