This refers to the killing of an unarmed civilian at point blank range by the Sindh Rangers. The incident has caused uproar among the whole nation. I, literally, have no words to express my grief and sorrow over this brutal act.
The footage of the incident, made by a photographer of Awaaz TV, is so shocking that one can hardly dare to see it more than once. But our media is so keen to play it after every 10 minutes. I have really failed to understand the sense behind it. Last day, I got to know through a private TV channel that the victim’s mother happened to see the footage accidentally and fell unconscious for two hours.
Isn’t it playing with the emotions of his family, relatives and the whole nation? Isn’t it a violation of human rights? Is PEMRA sleeping? I am afraid to say that media is just getting more business by trying their hand at these increasing terror incidents.
I request all the TV channels not to show this brutality so often. Don’t bring this society to a point where it stops even reacting to such brutality.
