Sahir Lodhi misbehaved with a girl on live tv show

It’s been a while now since various TV Channels began airing Ramazan-oriented programs every year the Holy Month arrives in Pakistan. Though, such programs drew audience’s attention immensely and brought about better ratings for their respective Channels.

However, the programs particularly in which prizes worth thousands of rupees also triggered a strong response from the public as they were of the view that such programs are not as per the very spirit of Ramazan.

The public says that at times when people are supposed to be more inclined to Islamic values and practices. Especially in Sehri and Iftar, such Ramazan programs deviate their attention; hence audience remains deprived to perform religious practices. During Ramazan in letter and spirit.

Recently a new controversy was stirred when derogatory remarks were issued for Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in ‘Ishq-e-Ramazan’, a Show hosted by Sahir Lodhi and aired on TV One on May 28.

Later on May 31, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) issued a show cause notice to TV One over such remarks in the said program.

The PEMRA said that the program is a violation of section 20 c and f of PEMRA Ordinance 2002, Section 15(1) of PEMRA Rules 2009 and clauses 5, 3 (1) (a) and 17 of the Electronic Media Code of Conduct 2015. It directed the management of the channel to explain its position regarding the said violation in Ramazan transmission within three days i.e. till June 5, 2017.

Besides, people also took to social media and strongly criticized Sahir Lodhi over the humiliation, he caused to a girl for her speech about the Founder of Pakistan.

Meanwhile, in a statement, Sahir Lodhi said that viewers bashed him on social media for his misbehavior but they didn’t know that actually I also had apologized to the girl on air shortly after I became harsh at her.

Though Sahir Lodhi apologized to the contestant but this leaves a big Question. Maybe the way Sahir Lodhi expressed was wrong but to some extent, he was right that actually its us who have ruined the whole nation so how can we complain about it. It would be better to fix the issues rather than crying over it.
