A picture has been doing the rounds on email purporting to show the debauchery of Balochistan Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raisani. It shows a smiling Raisani with his head on the shoulders of a young, T-shirt clad girl. The picture has actually been culled from the Facebook page of Express News, where it was posted – for what exact news reason we do not know – on October 1. The poster of the photograph (we are not sure whether from within Express News or one of its ‘community’) claims it was taken at a party in Islamabad, the obvious implication being that Raisani was drunk and coming on to the girl. As of now there are over 700 comments beneath the photograph which mostly range from downright abusive of Raisani (and generally all “ayyash” [debauched] politicians) to calls to “kill the lech.” Most are unprintable. But even worse are the comments reserved for the girl, whose moral character was openly questioned, whose body language was sleazily analyzed and who, thanks to one commenting woman (!), was immediately and conclusively dubbed a “call girl.”
We too were forwarded the photograph and link but decided there was no reason to carry such an obviously salacious piece of character assassination. No matter what one might think of Raisani and his political antics, this was clearly, we figured, none of our business… Until we received an anguished email from a friend of the girl, with proof, to set the record straight.
So guess what that poor, poor girl’s name is: Aana Hassan Raisani. Yes, she is Aslam Raisani’s own teenage daughter, who attends school in Islamabad. And the photograph of a father expressing innocent affection for his daughter was apparently taken at their home. Seeing how such an innocent (and private) moment was twisted and presented as one of alleged depravity by no-doubt the most depraved of people themselves, made me almost sick to my stomach. And I have a fairly strong stomach. Then the outrage took over.
In addition to Aana’s friend who emailed us, a bunch of her other friends and classmates are now taking on the commenting sad ****s on the Facebook page itself. According to the friend who emailed us, Aana herself has been so severely traumatised by this event and the venom spewed about her and her father, that she has gone incommunicado. Nevertheless students from three schools in Islamabad plan to protest on Tuesday against this amazingly sleazy episode.
We have consciously decided not to republish the photograph. But if you have the stomach, read the comments under the photograph again to see how sick, perverted and corrupted the minds of the people in this country have become. To heap abuse on and defame someone without a shred of evidence or even a modicum of common decency, to be ready to draw the most perverted of inferences without a second thought, really, what can one say about such sad excuses for human beings? But what it also indicates is how quickly Pakistanis are willing to believe the worst about political figures, a function, I would submit, more of the environment we have all had a hand in creating than of anything the politicians themselves have done or do.
As for Express News, which ultimately bears responsibility for the content on its page, well may be it should just take its onanistic being and go screw itself.

Guys,

I have seen that picture. The girl is his step daughter and she is not even 15 years old. I know this because my wife's younger sister is her classmate and the picture was taken from her her profile on Facebook.

I wanted to clarify this on the originol thread when my wife showed me the facebook account but the thread was already closed for comments.

............Why Riasani didn't clarify in this way? I don't think this explanaiion would sufficient to make him clear.
