Another recent ban on our news channels: GEO and ARY after the news about shoe hurling at Mr. Zardari. Every body has their sympathies with these channels but I have a different viewpoint. I wanted to present my opinion to the GEO team (GEO, thenews and Daily Jang) therefore I wrote an email to them. As we know that Pakistani Nation is the busiest of all, so I didnt expect any reply and they came up to my expectations. Anyways, my idea was to tell them what I think about the recent ban on GEO. I would like to share my email with my family and friends hence copying it here.
"Dear Geo team,
This is in context of recent ban on GEO, the News and Daily Jang. I would go three years back at the time of Death of BB i.e., December 27, 2007. At that time, I had no affiliation with any political party of Pakistan. It was GEO tv that presented BB after her martyr (or death or whatever you call it) that developed a feeling for her party in my heart. It was due to GEO that I planned to caste my first ever vote for her party. It was GEO that created this awareness in the youth of Pakistan to "take revenge" from her assassins by using the power of our votes to make her party win. Literally the way BB was shown on the screens by GEO, me & my family was crying and we all decided to vote for PPP. We were repeating Shaheed BB's words time and again: "Democracy is the best revenge". The way her family was shown, we all forgot Mr. Zardari's fame for corruption and we all were adrifted in the waves of emotions that were constructed by GEO.
.... And thats how I made the blunder of voting for PPP-P, and now I feel regret of casting my vote for this party and thereby bringing "Azab-e-Illahi" (Torment from God) with my own hands. There was no other opinion except that PPP will sweep away their opponents and this eventually happend. This is the same mistake that our nation has been doing for decades and unfortunately we never learnt and we will never learn.
I BLAME GEO FOR CREATING A "WRONG AWARENESS" IN THE YOUTH & ADULTS LIKE ME. We are all suffering from Zardari, --------- and GEO is responsible for that. "
So this was the email to GEO team. We must understand that every ban on GEO increases their popularity not only in Pakistan but on International level. We must also understand that during the recent ban, they put the coverage of flood affecties at a corner and their whole concern shifted to the ban on GEO which was a secondary issue. It seems that this is just a war between Media and Government and common man like us hold no importance there. The channel diverted from its primary and most important responsibility of putting the flood news at the forefront. They have a particular influence on our innocent people so they must realize what they are presenting to the nation. They should ensure that they are not treating us like a football moving from here to there and must be consistent and sincere to what they tell us or we will have no one to trust on. No judiciary, no government and no media would then be able to win the hearts of common men of Pakistan.
