Forbes - Why Is This Man Banned For Life From Pakistani TV?

[Kompromat]

If that is indeed the case, a ban for Mr. Luqman is appropriate too.

Bhai, i meant that HM should have the same rights to free speech as ML has, where is comprehension?

And he has a daughter. His pro-PTI stance shouldn't be a reason to support a character like him.

What/who he is has NOTHING to do with his free speech rights. I don't particularly like him myself, but that doesn't mean i should be happy for censorship.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

Your 'selective' liberalism is equally pathetic. You are the libtarded equivalent of talibitches who wants to 'select' who has the free speech rights and who doesn't depending on if he/she conforms to your set beliefs or not.

I didnt ever see one response where people could challenge or respond to his evidences consisting of documentations, audio and video footage and the statements of the former henchmen of some high and mighty in Punjab.

And he has a daughter. His pro-PTI stance shouldn't be a reason to support a character like him.

just shows how petty and classless this Pakistani public is.
does this mean that what he brought as proof against some politicians shouldnt be admitted ?

Respected Sir, if HM and his channel can be banned for free speech, then so can Mr. Luqman. Why the double standards?

If HM was guilty of accusations without proof against a respected higher institution, how is that any different than what Mr. Luqman did? If one wants to uphold freedom of speech as an important principle worthy of protecting, then one must do it fairly for all, not just for people whose speech one finds agreeable, otherwise one loses all credibility.

I don't agree with Bans on GEO either. They are an anti Pakistan channel which airs enemy propaganda with an agenda to weaken the Pakistani state, however that doesn't mean that they should be banned. People have stopped tuning into GEO, their revenues are dwindling and soon it will become a thing of the past. Thats how it should be left for people to decide.

 

[Kabira]

This guy is very biased. I think channels should be neutral, ary and jew tv shouldn't behave like hera mandi ki randi.

 

[Spy Master]

The question is instead of abusing and bashing him and making PEMRA ban him why the gov or any other person does'nt challenge him in the courts against his evidences?

 

[Kambojaric]

I am 50/50 on him. Clearly the ethics of professional journalism are unknown to this man, so If you are looking for unbiased assessments of political events, in which both sides are covered then his show is the last show you want to watch. Having said that he nevertheless has a right to speak as should any other individual in a democracy. So im 50/50 on this decision by the judiciary.

Really? You seemed pretty happy at the ban:

Rule of law still exists in Pakistan. Congrats Pakistanio, we just shut down enemy's media front shop.

Has he ever put those "documents" online on ARY's website? What about his fake news reporting. Like he killed 17 people in D-chowk protest when only 1 death was proven. There's a thing called slander. Free speech doesn't include slander. The manhoosat on his face is enough to tell me that whatever he says is totally false.

Secondly, respected sir, don't doubt my class. Is flirting on live tv when you have a daughter "class" in your dictionary. What about his interview with Malik Riaz? And I respect you as a member on PDF so please try not to get all personal.

Really? You seemed pretty happy at the ban:

2 different things

I didnt mourn over the ban of Geo but yes I still agree with freedom of speech. I just chose not to switch into Geo Channels.

Supporting freedom of speech as a principle cannot be selective, Sir, as many here seem to think.

 

[Faiez]

Because he is nut case

uses TV just like Talibiches use bombs.

These dimwits should have never been allowed to be anywhere near the TV talk shows.


Dan Rather one of the most respected TV hosts in USA made one boboo against pres Bush, and what happened?

He is a gonner. for life.

The only thing Dan can do is now to get some short term 2 min gigs.


Luqman made 100s of such booboos much worse than Dan.

And yet he continued on for so long. Time to end such pathetic shows.

Was Dan Rather put on exit control list? Was he harassed in his own home by police? Was he jailed?

He was simply fired by the company he worked for...And he's still on TV, not banned for life from TV.....

And regardless of what happened to a certain journalist abroad, what is wrong is wrong....Everyone has a right to free speech.

Thats the thing he produced evidence to support his claims. Though he wasnt a balanced journalist but he did not just throw blank blames.

my dear,
if you are not going to marry your sister or daughter to him then dont worry about his face . and i have no such intention either so i wont take it personnel.
I am pretty much neutral about his show. but the things he brings out are really compelling did you hear that call between the LHC judge and CM Shahaz Sherif where the judge is being "advised" to go easy on his man?


yet again we bring up things that dont stand any value in a court.
its irrelevant. I must again repeat, his eating habits , his "flirting" and his choice of clothes and toiletries are irrelevant. lets talk about his content. if he bring the charges about some financial scandal then any unbiased and a names worth "judge" in Pakistan wont ask him about his relations with some female from showbiz but will ask for the proofs and witnesses regarding his claims.

why the content is not on ARY site? its all over the web, just take a pick, get the screen grab.

only one death is proven on D chouk...?
proven by whom? who certified it? the killers? had there been no pictures about Lahore tragedy then maybe nothing would have been proven.

 

[FaujHistorian]

@FaujHistorian - So you do agree that Mr Mubashir has the right to speak his mind without being banned?
.

Horus Bhai

Luqman or Mir or Javed Ch are not like me or you.

While we can $hit and talk in PDF or even on fb comments, they cannot behave like you and me.

They have very large instittions to run.

Where 100s of people work and support their families.

So they have to use their brains much more than you and I
and show the use of brain by selecting their words and terms carefully.

Heck even the lowly PDF has certain minimum standards when it comes to free speech. people can go pink left and right.

Why would you expect that Luqman and Mir and Javed cannot go "pink"?

They are not gads incarnate.

i hope you agree.

Different countries different habits

Same outcome as far as the job of an anchor is concerned.

Both lost.

One banned by "Corporate CEO" and one banned by "corporate judge".

Look at the outcome for the person's job.

Rest of the stuff is irrelevant.
