I was talking to my friend, and she said that people are really angry at the biasing of the Urdu media of the country, because according to Urdu media, the flood is only in KPK or Punjab, Sindh isn't very important. Then why do Government expect from us, Sindhis, to act Pakistani??????
MY friend and her family has started calling Geo News, as Joota News, because all they are obsessed with is the throwing of the Shoe at President Zardari in London. [Aur Urdu mein Jeem se Geo or Jeem se joota]
When the shoe was thrown at President Bush, there was the full media coverage, and one can watch the clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWt3-kPBQ4A, and when the shoe was thrown at Chinese Premier there is a video of it, which can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SruwzgddXY, and when the Indian Home Minister was thrown shoe at, there was recording, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFMiC-dkHbY, but i have yet to find the video of shoe being thrown at President of Pakistan. I think it is all a lie, and it is just a trick to get people's attention by the channels.
If there is one dead in Karachi, the Urdu media [read Geo News] start to cry over it, airing the news again and again, but there are thousands of dead in the flood and not even a 5 minute report on the incident!!!!!! What would you call this? How can I remain Pakistani, when my problems, as Sindhi, are not considered important?
This is not the time to protest against the banning of channels or burning of newspaper, but it is time to come together and help people in need!
