After the shocking revelation of BBC last week in which it claimed MQM received funds from RAW, Mubashar Luqman in his usual controversial style tweeted, “Julian Assange was right when years back he first shared with me that MQM was paid by Indians.”
Now as it turns out Wikileaks and Julian Assange have denied ever making any such revelation to the good old Mubashir. The tweets were as follows;
Julian Assange was right when years back he first shared with me that MQM was paid by Indians.

@ejazchfanclub @MansoorFL @mubasherlucman Mr. Assange had not said such a thing.

So was it his intuition to grasp public attention and stay in the limelight that drove Mubashir Luqman to lie or his personal grudge against MQM. Let’s just hope our journalists can learn to behave more maturely in the future!
