Faiza be realistic. Public parks are for the public and TV-shows (Morning shows included) are for public entertainment. Combining the two is a two-in-on facility.

On a serious note, this may not be an acceptable way but, it has produced wonderful results. People are seriously having concerns about their children’s frequent outings on various excuses. Mothers are having sleepless nights because, they used to consider their own children angels. Perhaps, there is an urgent need to have CCTV surveillance cameras installed at all such places with warnings to people that, their activities are being watched. This should discourage them to some reasonable extent.

I am happy you wrote on this Faiza.

I was most disturbed myself at the manner in which a common man’s privacy was violated by Maya Khan. It was a deplorable act on part of the anchor. Samaa TV’s administration must take note of it and ensure that its employees do not intrude in people’s privacy. All the women who went on this mission together with the male members present there should be ashamed of their behaviour.

Your view are abhorrent.

Charity begins at home,and so does morality.Education of a child begins at the cradle.Since,it is the home where a child’s education starts,it is the primary responsibility of the parents to nourish their child on the lines of national ethos and values.If the parents streamline their child’s activities into moral channels,he will grow into a moral being,and credit will definitely,go to them.This is simple. Contrarily,if the parents are derelict in the edification of their child,he will grow into an immoral being,and disrepute will definitely,go to them.This is simple, too.The bottom line is that it is the parents who are primarily,responsible for the waywardness of their children.So far,so good.But the question is:Who gave the a the “aunties” and their doyenne the authority to sleuth around young people to make the “parks safer for the families”?Are these “aunties” ‘thanedarnees’ or sheriffs to go around nabbing people?The act of unlawful rounding up of the young people and thereafter,exposing them to the TV camera, may entail a corollary of serious consequences for them,especially for the female ones.If the wronged ladies incur a disrepute,it will be a herculean task for their parents to search out proper matches for them.In other words, with their capricious and wanton act,the self-appointed moralist,ethicist,social-reformer “aunties” have put the future of the said youngsters at stake.It’s not Cervantes’ age of chivalry in which Don Quixote and his sidekick,Sancho Panza goes around in search of adventures.In this 21st century people are conscious of their civil liberties,and no sane person can have a temerity to walk over them.In quest of cheap popularity,the host and the” aunties” have indubitably ventured to take the law in their own hand.What is appropriate from the legal point of view is that the host of the morning show(Maya Khan?)and the abetting “aunties” are prosecuted so that in future,no bumptious busy-bodies, as the “aunties” and Maya Khan, take the law in their own hand through embarking on the projects which are not in their ball-park.
