Last week Sahir Lodhi insulted a female debater on his show which did not go down well with the internet. He essentially interrupted her debate and insulted her for saying Quaid-e-Azam’s name ‘in vain’.
He did try to apologise afterwards but no one is ready to forgive him that easily.
The participant has now come out herself and released a video giving her stance on the whole situation.
First of all, she completed her poem from where she was interrupted. “I’ll continue right from where I was interrupted. Before I say anything about the video that went viral, I would like to complete the poem, on which I was accused of challenging the founder of our nation,” she said.
She maintained that the poem in no way insulted Jinnah and cleared that it wasn’t written by her.
“I hope I have clarified the doubts of those who thought that I was challenging the Quaid. Furthermore, I’m extremely grateful to those who stood by me and supported me. We are a nation who can raise voice against injustice, who can point their rights from their wrongs,” she added.
“Instead of apologising for the way he spoke to me, Sahir Lodhi should have actually apologised for belittling a female on live TV, or that he interrupted a debater during the speech, or that he mislead my point completely,” asserted Saba.
“Therefore, I am boycotting Sahir Lodhi’s show. If a voice can be suppressed once, it can be suppressed yet again in the very show,” she continued.
“I’m not boycotting debating for it is my passion. I will not stop, this is where I start,” she concluded.
