Pk twitter has mostly done a collective "ack-thoo" at the MQM story. The reaction seems to be a lot of "BBC is carrying water for someone" rather than any sort of outrage. Very interesting

Ajai Shukla has a blogpost up. He seems to be insinuating that it is a possible CG f-up hence Navy is distancing itself (or feeding this info to defence journos). Chacko, I guess this is what you are stating as well?

CT: Hijacked plane on way to DG for a kamikaze run. Pilot says plane hijacked, seeks permission to land (or there is no radio comm whatsoever]. DG says No, and scrambles air assets (f15s?). 777 continues to approach, and is shot down preemptively.
