"Aap kisi ki maan ban rahi hn, aap logon ka dukh le rahi hn aap Mother Teresa hn?"
(You are trying to be a mother and taking on the publics problems. Are you Mother Teresa?)
This is what the brilliant and suited-booted Kamran Shahid had to say to Maya Khan when she explained why she had gone to all the trouble about helping out the people.
Now in order to do someone a good turn do you need a certificate to be Mother Teressa? This behaviour is what constitutes as "point scoring". Talk of Increasing ratings! Even when Maya Khan explained and gave details of what had transpired ACTUALLY and produced witnesses. Which witnesses by the way? The very people who acted in this staged program which was put together to raise awareness among the parents of teen and tween girls about the dangers of letting their daughters go unchecked and undisciplined. In addition, all this happened in response to all the complaints that the SAMA TV received. Still Kamran Shahid kept having a go at her and even asked her for "an unconditional apology". Shame! Do you have any concept of the word Mr Smart Aleck?
This is utter shame that this sort of fickle minded people who lack the ability to make decisions promptly on seeing some evidence, are working in Pakistani media. Though he looked clearly confused after he saw the evidence and heard her out, yet he did not say that the evidence showed her faultless.
Earlier while speaking about what the general public had said about her in various forums, he himself named Facebook and then realizing that the fact that she was called names and thousands of obscenities were hurled at her and her familiy will tilt the balance in her favour, he said "leave what was said on Facebook".
On another occasion he stopped just short of saying that the political anchors who did programs without asking her to explain her position did wrong. Instead he said something like "people will ask them" or something to that tune.
These two things just show what sort of moral fibre he has got.
Similar sort of writer is this Jahanzeb Haque who after watching the program did not understand what he had seen. Dull minded Haque who rambled "apology not accepted" ranted on about her without anything worthwhile.
Readers please pay attention: program pre-planned, Maya's pictures not what they have been purported to be and with the witnesses on stage in front of the camera what else is the proof that these people need.
This sort of people had the public in all this battle of emotions This even is not the "mara hua chooha" (dead rat) that comes out in informal discussions in our society when nothing worthwhile is found. This is just NOTHING. Nothing at all!
All this uproar that has been going on for a while was for nothing at all. Maya Khan's name has been smashed around, her husband and she herself, their other family members were made to receive all the trouble for what was just a planned program.
This is as clear as the day that there are people out there who are simply jealous of her and all the work that she has been doing and all the attention that she has been having for her good work. They cannot digest it. They have been losing sleep over it. Or they are taking aim at her simply because at the moment she is down and vulnerable. They are doing it just for point-scoring and to increase the ratings of their programs. There can be no other explanation of this irrational behaviour.
The role that the Management of Sama TV played in all this is sickening. They knew all along what happened and still failed to stand by her.
The future historian will never forgive all these thick skinned people.
