The South Asian Free Media Association (SAFMA) has sent defamation notices to the management of a private TV channel, anchor Mehr Bukhari and analyst Zaid Hamid over malicious accusations made in a TV talk show.
Sent by SAFMA Secretary General Imtiaz Alam and SAFMA Punjab President Anjum Rashid through advocate Abid Hasan Minto, the legal notices under Section 8 of Defamation Ordinance 2002 quoted the “defamatory and inflammatory remarks” Zaid Hamid made in the programme hosted by Mehr Bukhari aired on August 16 and repeated on August 17 and 18. The remarks have caused resentment among leading media persons and civil society. SAFMA branches in other provinces will also issue libel notices.
The notices sought “an unequivocal apology” from the TV management and anchor Mehr Bukhari, and asked the channel to “invite Hamid back to the show in which the aforesaid apology and categorical denial is required to be issued, and allow him the opportunity to advance his apology”.

  1. Its time for Hamid to sue SAFMA and Nusrat Javed for stating on the same national television, that Hamid is the red capped joker and a toddler and is on the payroll of ISI without evidence or proof. What a bunch of hypocrites in SAFMA. While they talk about free speech, at the same time, they are working towards suppressing it. They have clearly summed up their ideology in the following words, on another national television programme, which can be summed up as 'two nation theory is bogus. Iqbal doesn't exist. India has nothing to do with funding separatists movement in Waziristan and Baluchistan, Kashmir is not a subject to be touched, Internal terrorism within Pakistan has also been planted by ISI and the cherry on top, article 62 and 63 of the constitution are 'Khurafaat' because they state the head of the country should 'not be corrupt?' If this is their state of mind, one wonders to what end this apparently 'FREE MEDIA' is working towards?!

    • Dear sis Nida, I am 100% agreed with you that it's the time to expose all anti-pakistan elements. Infact they have exposed there selves…..That lady who was pretending as being muslim (is the wife of the general secratary of SAFMA ) mocked the Quranic verses during the program "SHAHID NAMA" aired on express tv. I think a legal notice should be sent to SAFMA whom she was representing to seek apology from the entire Pakistani Nation. She not only mocked Quranic verses but also rejected & humiliate the constitution of The Islamic Republic of Pakistan & rejected the base of the creation of our motherland.

    • Acknowledged Nida Masood…. Mr Nusrat Javed an Marvi Sarmad is a member of SAFMA which works 4 uni-faction of Sub Content pak-india friendship just like Euro-pin union in cover of free trade and free Media SAFMA is also workin 4 "Builderberg Group" whcin happen to be a secret organization whch is ruined by Rothschild Family of Europe an Rockefeller's Family in USA Part of Global Elite they r de "ILLUMINATIs" same ppl who support Hitler in WW2 .Now they r using Pakistani Media an ppl 2 create racial differences btw Pakistani Brothers destabilize nation Mr Nusrat Javed dis is 4 u _!_ an 4 SAFMA !!

    • absolutely, Nida, every anti Pakistan organization specially media related should be banned. Safma should hire credible women. they ve unqualified woman in safma islamabad, who is very badly reputed too.

  2. Article 62 and 63 of Pakistan constitution,,,, SAFMA, says its kharafat according http://www.yanabi.com/index.php?/topic/422753-zai…. She stands on a poor grounds. a very poor ground. I agree on her words, "radicalization of our society, but again, Thanks to our ENEMY STATE INDIA, who sent UN-ISLAMIC MUJAHIDEEN to Swat and hired back all those Mujahidin created by America and Saudia during Afghan war. Islam was all together a tolerant religion before Afghan War. Radicalization of society happened due to poor decision in past, but INDIA is not far too behind in burning alive christians, and Gujrat incidents, it has no link with Islam, nor with Pakistan. SAFMA trying to Erode the basic of creation of Pakistan, which we will stand for, "DO QOMI NAZRIA"., but that does not mean Christian and Hindus in Pakistan are subject to 2nd class citizen, as it happened in India against Muslims, Christians and Sikhs.

  3. Being totally unbiased, but being a Pakistani, what the hell is SAFMA talking about. They stand for free speech, yet that is exactly what they want to kill. Most importantly, if SAFMA likes to INDIA so much, please leave us dirty Pakistanis to our selves and go to India. READ THE SACHAR COMMITTEE REPORT SAFMA;;;;; INDIAN MUSLIMS ARE TREATED AND KEPT WORST THAN THE LOWEST CLASS OF THE HINDUS IN INDIA, THE DALITS; I AM ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU GUYS ARE BEING PAID TO SELL YOUR SOULS TO THE INDIAN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES TO CREATE A CONFUSION IN PAKISTAN THAT WE PAKISTANIS ARE THE WAR MONGERS AND INDIA IS THE EPIC OF ALL PEACE EFFORTS. WHEN A TERRITORIAL DISPUTE EXISTS BETWEEN COUNTRIES WHICH IS SO VITAL FOR THE SURVIVAL OF ONE LIKE IN THIS CASE PAKISTAN, HOW CAN THE AGGRESSOR ACCUSE PAKISTAN OF BEING NEGATIVE TOWARDS THEM (INDIA). SAFMA UR SO LOW U STINK OF INDIAN RUPEES.

    HERE IS THE SACHAR COMMITTEE REPORT….STUFF IT

    The Justice Rajinder Sachar Committee report has highlighted the deplorable socioeconomic
    plight of the mass of the Muslim community. It has served to highlight the
    urgent need to adopt special measures for the upliftment in their social and economic
    conditions. It has also effectively rebutted the false and motivated propaganda about
    “minority appeasement”.

    THE WHOLE REPORT CAN BE READ HERE::::

    SAFMA IS GOING CRAZY WITH BIAS, THEY DON'T HAVE TO SPIT ON THERE ON FACES TO PROVE THEY ARE INDIAN AGENTS. IN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY THE INDIAN MEDIA, GOVT AND RAW ARE PLAYING HARD IN ISOLATING PAKISTAN, THERE ARE SO MANY MALADIES IN INDIA I COULD WRITE ABOUT IT ALL WEEK AND IT WOULDN'T END, BUT THE PAKISTANI GOVT AND MEDIA DONT USE THAT INTERNATIONALLY TO MALIGN INDIA AS THEY DO WITH PAKISTAN. WHY IS SAFMA BECOMING A TOOL IN THE HANDS OF THE INDIANS.

    BE NEUTRAL SAFMA THAT IS WHAT FREE PRESS IS ABOUT, REPORT PEOPLES OPINIONS, DONT BLOODY WELL GIVE US UR RHETORIC IN THE GUISE OF PUBLIC OPINION. AND GET A LIFE

    • Pakistanis such as yourself really need to grow up or get your brains examined. You say that Muslims are treated so bad, then how does that explain their dominance over Bollywood for so many generations? Right from the Naushads to the Shahrukh Khans? And what about the sheer number of MPs who are Muslims including a former cricket captain of cricket-crazy India (Mohammed Azharuddin) ? Can people like yourself point to similar cases in Pakistan?
      The fact is that your country was born abnormal and now it looks likely that the mindset of most of your chaps will remain the same way (abnormal). So Do keep enjoying your state of denial!

  4. Well i truly don’t have words to say, SAFMA is trying to cut Pakistan’s base on which our founder fathers made the Islamic state of Pakistan (Two Nation Theory)

    Pakistan can never be a secular state, what the hell SAFMA is trying to do?

    Its time for us (The Nation) to slap on SAFMA’s face and let the World know that Pakistan has its very strong Idealogy and we will not allow anyone to misguide us.

  5. main samajhti hoon ke chief justic of pakistan ko in sari batoon ka jin ka izhaar SAFMA ne openly kia hai, notice lena chahiyea aur aisa HINDU agenda supporters ko mulk badar kar dena chaheye..

  6. Jeo Zaid Hamid. Seems like its not so far that SAFMA will be shown naked as Pakistani Enemies. I just cant beleive that a responsible woman from SAFMA was speaking like a street whore. Such low level people are becoming the voice of Pakistan. We need many people like Zaid Hamid. Marvi is against 2 nation theory, means enemy of Pakistan's existance.

  7. SAFMA people listen "DO QOUMI NAZRIA" (2 nation theory) is our ideology and life and on this base we built pakistan and how is it possible that we should leave base.

    1. SAFMA people you don't need to interfer our matters we are bad or good, what we want, what we like. You people shouldn't worry about it. Get out from here.

    2. Secondly, wa are islamic or secular we don't need your dictation what should we adopt. We will do decide ourselves being a nation.

    Please every pakistani should raise a voice against these criminals, non-sense people. They are only and only speaking the voice of Indian Agencies.

    I cant' say more and bearing myself what's bad abuses i have on tongue againest these SAFMA Criminal people and worst enemies of the country who are inside hiding themselves inside the nation. (ashamed of yo all)

  8. SAFMA should be banned in Pakistan by Supreme Court as its enemy propaganda org and its members should be tried for treason

  9. Marvi Sarmad has slandered Pakistan Constitution. She must be sued against and declared a Traitor and expelled from Pakistan alongwith her all assets.

  10. Marvi sarmad looks like an Indian agent and talks like one too. She should be treated as a spy and delt with accordingly. SAFMA should be banned in Pakistan. We need a lot of cleaning in our media department and ruthlessly too!

  11. How dare they sue our nationlists. Govt need to sue… sorry I should have said some patriotic elements need to sue SAFMA on defaming the Pakistan's idealogy and creating confusion among masses on the existance of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
    Look at Marvi she no where looks like our Pakistani women. She speaks,behave, walk, wear like indians. She has been so far failed to be fit for the job RAW had assigned her.

  12. Islamic Republic of Pakistan was born with two nation theory (religious thought) because Muslims couldn’t live with Hindus. More so, because;

    Shiva Lingam Puja (i.e. Shiva’s Penis Puja) in temples.
    Yoni Puja (Vulva’s Puja) and Yoni Tatwa for Shakti (Satanic Tantrics)
    Kumari Puja
    Kali Ma Puja in Cremation grounds / Graveyards on Tuesday & Saturday Nights to put CURSES (put human flesh and meat to Satan) Abhichara Maran and Vimachara
    Drink their Own or Cows Urine for Therapy like Indian PM Morarrji Desai
    Sleep between two KUMARI’S like Gandhi did

    We do not even see Cow’s urinating on streets of Pakistan.

    Pakistani’s stay clean and say PRAYERS to gain spirituality, rather than gaining Satanic powers

    Pakistan ka Mutlab Kya “La Illa ha Illallah”

  13. the bloody SAFMA must b banned in Pakistan as its agenda is totally against the formation of Pakistan… its a mass of RAW funded people working in the interst of india and zionists….. thr agenda is to confuse the people of Pakistan and never let realize that y did we get ths piece of land….. and that is to implement Islam in this Islamic Republic of Pakistan……

  14. Did you folks know that these comments can actually be read by Hindus from India too? Chennai la irukkara tamil makkal lerndhu, Delhi me bas ne waale sabhi log yeh baatein pad sakthe hain.
    .
    It's sad that a progeny of Hindu, Mohammed Iqbal (whose ancestors were Hindu people) gave birth to this genocidal thought-process; and that Shri Iqbal ji's ideas are being used to reduce Pakistani human beings into such a state.
    .
    Go on – please start abusing me as a hindu, baniya, yahoodi, kaffir, dhimmi etc. All I say is – I reject all your abusive words; and as per Buddha's logic, if you give me a gift (abusive words), and I reject it, the gift belongs to you.

    • We muslims are not learnt to abuse. okay nw clear your mind. Nd we do not play "Shatirana Challs" we are tought to be straight forward…

  15. Please google "the protocols of learned eleders of zion"

    it explains the planning of jews made around 1871 . All situation will be clear to hindus americans , pakistanis and rest of world

  16. what zahid hamid is and what knowledge he carry is being exposed by a factual stand point of marvi sermd…people like zaid hamid shud understand that they r damaging the societyy by seeking meaning only through one way.

  17. we as professional women, want our rights with respect and dignity not by lose characters.the damage that SAFMA inflicts on our society by putting deplorable women in forefront, I hope safma understands our muslim values and culture and promotes professional rather than women with no respect for themselves. These women have made our lives difficult because men categorize all working women are undignified

  18. Its only when reading comments such as these when I realize how much poison Zaid Hamid spews. He is without question the Glen Beck of Pakistan. And to see so many sycophants blasting SAFMA's right to state the obvious is just disheartening.
    How many of you all think that Pakistan's youth would have been better off living in India than in the country they are now. Look at the Pakistan around you. Look at what you all have done to my country. You call yourself nationalists!? You're nothing but hate mongering children, desperately clinging to the identity the army as built around leaders such as Jinnah and Iqbal. Have any of you ever read Iqbal outside your Saudi funded history books. Have you read Jinnah's autobiography?
    The Indians are laughing at us. Not because they're winning, its because we're so ignorant that some of us actually give Zaid Hamid credibility when instead we should be lynching him as a mob.
    I pity my country and all you Nationalists that are driving it down the drain.
