Maya Loses her Bread in Guarding "Public Morality"






     By: Haroon Baloch


It is a saying in English "As you sow, so shall you reap." 

It may be a bit earlier to write but I cannot refrain myself because my sources in Samaa TV have confirmed that Maya Khan Show will not go on-air from Monday. Certainly, a bad news for an employee, but this is fact that masses wanted the same since the very next moment after Maya Khan's 17th January show ended.

Sorry Maya Khan, I know you're a good actor, but you bang the rights of public and I guess they didn't like your approach.

I’m a reporter whether reporting objectively or opinionatedly, my ethics while writing blog or a news report must be same, facts are integrated and authentic, I’m responsible for what I claim.

Being a strong believer of social responsibility of media, freedom of expression is my right, but to harm someone other’s right is not my right. One can express his/her views on any topic, phenomena, and/or issue, but minding the laws and ethics. So respect others rights.

It’s really ashamed of when a representative of my community in her Live Show chases dates in public places merely because of good ratings of her show. Who gave her the right to disrespect dating couples’ rights?

Please refer to the following link and I leave it to my readers to decide what this journalist is doing:



                   Maya Khan Show of Samaa TV

Everyone has the right to choose for him/her, good or bad. We being a journalist must realize our red lines and never cross them. Else wise be ready to face the music.

I would appreciate the Samaa TV's management for realizing the tenderness of the matter, but I'm amazed simultaneously for allowing such show to go on-air. However, their decision of sacking the anchor with producer because of their nonsense is a wise step and a precedence for media personnel that how important laws and ethics are.

It is also an evidence of our media's aging maturity, which has just a few years back liberated from black laws.

Silencing dissent

May 9, 2017 By Haroon Baloch For some time now, I have been restricting my speech — which may otherwise be perfectly lawful — out of fear of being labelled a blasphemer or a traitor Never before now had I thought about my personal safety since friends and close acquaintances frequently advise me to be cautious in view of the increasingly intimidating atmosphere in the country. For some time now I have been restricting my speech, which may otherwise be perfectly lawful, out of fear of being labelled a blasphemer or a traitor. Critical and dissenting speech is rapidly being circumcised and criminalised in Pakistan, either through disproportionate laws or by vigilantism. Just a few days ago, a learned acquaintance posted a status on FaceBook whose tone was supportive of the controversial blasphemy laws without paying any attention to the various incidents of murder, lynching, and vandalism that have taken place in the name of these laws. The person is associated with the ...

Ashfaq Kayani's meeting with his Supreme Commander, President Asif Ali Zardari, it has developed into a "Memogate" controversy, which engulfed all political ventures for the time being.

"Don't be hesitant or ask me whether the implications include Article 6, be optimistic enough to call it a mutiny against nation and its army", Khawaja Asif said. He also said referring to ISI that some institutions have received all related evidences including the secret conversations of Mr. Husain Haqqani with Mansoor Ijaz as well as the blackberry codes.
