I was watching the dramatic developments regarding Chief Justice of Pakistan’s case on GEO news today and wondering how much more we have to see after seeing police misbehaving with Chief Justice and his family.
Little did I know what was in store for me. During Kamran Khan’s show, Ansaar Abassi - investigative editor of The News, Islamabad - brought viewers attention to a shocking incident which happened during a live Voice of America ( VOA ) radio show interview (Round Table) yesterday (Listen by clicking audio symbol below)
Not surprisingly, it involves our Law Minister, Mr. Wasi Zafar. We have often read various reports about public displays of misbehaviors by Federal Minister for Law Wasi Zafar. But this is quite unbelievable.
Listen to the abusive language after the 34th minutes in particular. But also listen to the tone of the discussion of the entire interview in general. This, then, is our Federal Law Minister in action. Its worth hearing.
The Federal Minister said all this in response to a story by the investigative editor The News in which he wrote about the Law Minister’s “long arm of law.” Apparently he doesn’t know the difference between long arm and giving “a big hand.”
Listen to the clip and judge for yourself. I am just speechless!
ADDED 14 March: Here is the video clip of the report on this incident on GEO.
(Report on this in The News).
Revolution is in the air…yet i fear it shall be hijacked by the same bunch of looters and corrupt politicians. Why this nations suffers alck of rationale and reasonable leadership is beyond me. Is it the society, the parents, the education policies, the politicians. the army…or maybe our favourite punching bags the RAW/Jewish forces/Qoumi dushman. Blacking out Kamran Khan today and sealing off Islamabad the President and all his men are trying to ignore the whole problem. Musharraf reminds me of Humpty Dumpty who is about to fall off the wall…and what a fall it shall be….
VIVA La Revolution…
Dear Lahori, I think this episode is far from over and I certainly hope that the last laugh will not go to Mr. Zafar. Indeed, it seems that he finally might have gone too far and is about to be axed.
According to a report in The News today:
I guess with Kamran Khan off the air, it is Wasi Zafar who gets the last laugh!
Indeed his BIG ARM is the LONG ARM and it did finally get to Kamran Khan. Now its Ansar Abassi’s turn.
[…] The last week has been a whirlwind of disturbing development. Starting with the removal of Chief Justice Chaudhry Mohammad Iftikhar by the President, things just kept going from bad to worse. Protesting lawyers were mistreated, as was the Chief Justice, Minister Wasi Zafar embarrassed himself as well as the nation yet again, and most recently we saw that not just the judiciary but also the press is under stress as private TV channels are told to cool off and the GEO TV news show by Kamran Khan was banned. […]
There must be a code of conduct in such talk shows. Such a mis language is especially in presence of a female is extremely disregarded. VOA is not doing enough. VOA should devise code of conduct guidelines all participant must abide by. Law Minister must be communicated by VOA to avoid such abusive language in its talk shows.
Except those few nasty words uttered by him, he is no different from most of the politicians, if not better. The attack by Nawaz Sharif on Supreme Court was more shameful than Wasi Zafar’s words. Benazir’s comments and behaviour towards Supreme Court were even more uglier than these words,Still these polticians are darlings of Pakistani politics. Everyone of us who have ever voted these people including Wasi Zafar, should be ashamed of themselves.
Poor Pakistanis are in between two extremes, one side are Talibans and the other side, people like Wasi Zafar.
