Chief Minister (5k+ posts)
I have left this message for the Management of ARY digital demanding the should stop writing Amir Liaquat Hussein name as Doctor.
I am writing this message after feeling indignant for a considerable period of time from your organisations flagrant disregard for standards and procedures adopted by all the reputed organisations in the world. I am also flabbergasted to see your behaviour to not only accept impropriety but also advertise it on regular basis, ignoring the sensitivities of Pakistani nation and your viewers around the world.
I am referring to the programmes presented by Mr. Amir Liaquat Husseins on ARY television.
It is commonly known Mr. Amir Liaquat has bought his degrees from a diploma mill but for my and other viewers surprise and horror your programs shows his name as Dr. Amir Liaquat Hussein.
I demand that from now on you remove Doctor from his name in the credits of your programs, he is not a doctor and you should not insult the intelligence of Pakistani nation and your viewers around the world.
I give you two examples one from the Ex German Defence Minister who has to resigned from his post, even though he was a high flyer and was touted as the next Chancellor of Germany. He had genuine doctorate but was accused and then admitted he plagiarised substantial part of his thesis. University of Bayreuth stripped him of his doctorate due to his admission.

And second example is of another third rated cheat Ms. Callahan who was able to get a job with Homeland Security as Chief Information Officer, but was sacked after congressional investigation.

Pakistanis know that the standards in Pakistan have lowered so much that most of the criminals and cheats are occupying lucrative positions of power in Pakistan, including the seats in the Parliament. But for media the standard should be higher, they point fingers at the politicians for their corruption and cheating. But isnt it a shame that you have not only employed Mr. Hussein but are advertising him as a Doctor knowing fully well he has bought his degrees including his doctorate.
And on top of it, Mr. Hussein preaches the nation the religion of Islam and the Holy Quran. I dont think the standards in Pakistan can lower more than this example.
