Why only GEO??

Last days there were a large number of scandals on the media concerning Geo. First the attack on Senior anchor person of Geo news, Hamid Mir, on April 19, 2014 by four unidentified men when he was in Karachi.  The next scandal arose when Dr. Shaista Wahidi the host of "Jago Pakistan Jago”, a morning show, was celebrating the marriage ceremony of Veena Malik and her husband Asad Bashir. It was such a blasphemy that the Muslims all over the world were in despair. Another drama was being on aired on Geo entertainment, named as "Rukhsaar". Another controversy arose in which the mother was asking her daughter to take divorce from her husband and marry the other rich man. And both of them were not in the favor of the teachings of Islam regarding "Iddat". And last but not the least, the channel Geo Kahani has been airing Turkish dubbed dramas for long. One of these is "Mera Sultan". In the drama the incident of Hazrat Moosa (A.S.) and Hazrat Khizar (A.S.) regarding patience is related and is considered equal to the incident of Sheikh Saadi and Hafiz Sherazi. The Book of Allah in the Surah Kahaf, Allah himself has told about the incident. And no one either Muslim or non-Muslim can deny it.


Here a question arises what is the reason for all this description??? Actually what I feel is that why it is only that only one channel or a media group is banned?? When all the channels are scandalizing the politicians and army all over the world at that time where do the people of Pakistan go?? It is not about one single person or leader. It is about every person who is blamed for no reason every minute on the news channel. Each and every day we have a new issue to talk about. The programs on each and every channel have a different issue to discuss. But no conclusion or benefit is derived from it. In fact the representatives of different parties keep on blaming and fighting with each other. And the people are free to sit for hours and listen their lame talk.


Every day in the morning shows vulgarity and ill mannered behaviors are promoted. A morning should be pleasant instead of filled with songs, dances, unnecessary content, hustle and bustle etc. People want peace and calmness in their lives not such things. They want to share their problems and want others whom they trust they solve their problems. But all that they need does not require such environment.


The Qawali which was played on Geo TV was previously played on Ary News as well as Samaa channel in their respective morning shows. But all these went unconsidered because when such act was committed on Geo, Geo was going through tough days. I am not a supporter of Geo neither I want Geo to be banned or work as usual. I just want that all such acts should be considered illegal.


Smoking, drinking, adult content, crime, and other crimes are shown everyday on every channel in their dramas and programs. These are also not the teachings of Islam. Whatever is happening these days is the result of these acts. All these channels and news groups should be given a last warning, and should be asked not to commit anything like that again and if anything happened then they will be banned and given notice either of suspension or a court notice.


As a conclusion, whatever happened cannot be forgotten or forgiven other channels should take message from all these acts and they should not think of doing any such things or taking these general.
