Let Me Speak
Evolution of Pakistani Society and Role of Media (1)
There was a time when we enjoyed watching TV while coming back from daily work. But now days this type refreshment is looking hard to enjoy. I’m not talking about only me, I’m talking about the Millions of people living in this country. Here I’m agreeing to Sir Orya Maqbool the TV has become a member of our families. Not only we just need to spend our spare time, but it was the only refreshment for a middle class person (who is in a large number in this country) which was comparatively cheap.
But.. Now when we switch on our TV what we watch? Programs which can cross any limit to increase their rating, talk shows in which so called leaders sit and make each other nude by their statements. I agree not every single talk show or program is crossing our moral limits. But the commercials which we watch in breaks fulfill the deficiencies of these programs. What happened? A TV commercial will be broadcast in a break and destroy all our moral values and cultural limits. I can’t understand what kind of message such people want to give to us, our youngsters and the rest of world. For example, a “Dosti Number” a girl and a boy who are quit young and their acts. An ad of “Lassi” (which is our traditional drink) appears and we see such performance which we can’t even think in our society. Some words “definitely abused” recall in mind for the person who made this commercial and who broadcast it on TV.
Some days ago on a social media website I saw a person who was saying we’ll broadcast everything which people like to watch. And we have to increase our rating high because we have to meet our expense. I would like to say that if you are talking you’ll broadcast everything which people want to watch then I’ve to say our film industry has been destroyed for the same reason. And if we talk about the rating then I don’t think that the vulgarity is only thing which help you out to increase your rating. Before a few years when vulgarity and boldness was not allowed channels always meet their expenses as well.
I wonder about those persons who give statement in favor of such vulgarity and boldness. Remember one thing, we are Muslims and the country in which we are living is called “Islamic Republic of Pakistan”. This country was made by the name of Islam and this is the reality which we can never deny. For God sake, just think about the words which were the base of revolution of Pakistan. “Pakistan ka matlab kia, LA ILA HA ILALLAH”.
Can anyone ask from the so called leaders of Free Media that can you people cross any limit to increase your rating? Where you people don’t even think about the dresses and acts of your representatives. And the point is not only vulgarity and boldness. An accident accurse and news channels broadcast the pieces of dead bodies and the blood without any sensor. And the news caster is saying if is there any child or faint heart watching the TV please don’t watch because we didn’t had time to sensor the video.
I’ll request the persons, journalists and writer who are still hope for us please write on this issue. For God sake try to do something to save our youngsters. I agree there are lots of issues which are important. But about this issue our young generations are on stake. If you didn’t try to do anything then on judgment day Allah will definitely as you that why didn’t you even try to do something even you had power.
I know I can’t do anything. But I have satisfaction that I’m doing everything which I can do. I’ll request to my friends, the persons who read these lines please stand with me. You have approach to social media. You can raise your voices for this purpose it’s our responsibility to do something for our youngsters. Boycott such programs and talk show that are exclude from the circle of moral values. And boycott those products as well which TV commercials are vulgar. And I don’t think that I need to define the vulgarity.
Remember me in prayer.
