Darwaish

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.

    His whole style of talking is very confrontational. He talks just like a badmaash. Full credit to Geo and the news for exposing him.

    Corrent me if I am factually incorrect but I think he was a PPP guy who got ministry when he became a Lota.

    Still not sure what General saw in him to make him nothing less than Minister of Law, Justice and Human Rights. Is this meant as a joke?

    Wasi Zafar:

    Extract of dirt, a soul with disbalanced mental state, in bulky human body, verbally venomous, dangerously low level of mentality, to dangerously inept in written and spoken languages of civilised work, physically zero control on expressions & spoken language, have no command & control found living in highly power toxicated environment, have no respect for humanity and for common people & media, 1st discovered in Jaranwala, elevated and placed to handle situations with the qualities described above, by the people of same values.

    By the way yesterday someone has updated Wasi Zafar’s profile on wikipedia and included his VOA episode. Hurrah for freedom of opinion and a double hurrah for Pakistani press.

    To highlight violations of Law, Justice and Human Rights we only need to cite Minister of Law, Justice and Human Rights.
