Sawera ka Chapa is a morning show on Sama TV channel anchored by Maria.
This morning show is supposed to be investigative in nature and is meant to
investigate any issue, which it considers, in its eyes, injurious to society.
During this investigative program, all forms of basic human rights are violated
and it is an invasion to privacy. This program claims that it will help in
bringing reforms in society and slap the evil of so-called moral
looseness .
In its most recent episode, Sawera ka Chapa raided a park in Clifton Karachi
and humiliated the couples dating there. It seems that they have arrested the
criminals or culprits of unforgivable crimes. The program team ran after the
couples and forced them to give interviews without their consent. They asked
them unethical and illogical questions such as;
Why are you here?
Why are you dating here?
Have you prior approval from your parents for dating?
What are your reasons for running away from the schools/colleges/ universities
and offices during official timings.
You are the black spots on the name of family, community, religion and country!
You are the axis of evil in society!
Now the question is that; do the media have the right to act in this way and
threaten the dating couples of dire consequences?
Who gave this right to Sawera ka Chapa to ask such kind of questions and
infringe upon individuals privacy?
If the Sawera ka Chapa has the right to investigate and verdict then what is
the meaning of being policing and judiciary? What is the difference between this
kind of media vigilantism and that demonstrated by the Taliban?
How can the Sawera ka Chapa team blame Abaya as a symbol of prostitution?
Where is the censor board to censor such kind of programs?
The dilemma with us is that we are living in a country where the violation of
fundamental rights is a usual practice. No one dares to raise her voice against
such kind of violations. The violators are free to invade privacy without any
prior approval or consent. No formal accountability system is in place for such
kind of violations. The societal conservativeness and its adherence to some
so-called taboos restrict the individual s freedom of expression and speech. It
also restricts the freedom of movement and association.
We, the civil society, are deeply concerned over recently aired episode of
Sawera ka Chapa and demand that authorities concerned must take appropriate
steps to compensate the harassed couples. We demand a formal apology from the
anchor and the producer, and assurance from concerned authorities that no such
episodes will be aired in future.
Wah wah, wah and wah, aurat foundation has a fantastic agenda

Dear All
Although I do not support all the agenda and activities by the Aurat Foundation and NGOs of this kind but the point is true that MEDIA is not a SHO or a judge to have raids or give decisions.
Unfortunately we blame health sector for QUACKS but our media is also full of "JOURNALIST QUACKS", they do not know what is NEWS, what are current affairs, what are the limits to act as media persons. Tragedy is that these quacks are now media specialists running the whole shows as anchors and producers. They do not have journalistic background and just because of there "tongue qualities" has become the Masters of Media.
In the end Abdul Rasheed Azad SB, if I am in a park and someone trying to behave like Taliban SHO or Nazim of Jamiat, I will never tolerate or accept as a so called "Khudai Mohtasib"

Dear Rasheed, you may not agree to the issue raised by Mahnaz, but your way of arguing present your support to human right violation which is not surprising for me cause most of our media people don't even know what media ethics means.
Best Wishes,

I totally agree with Mahnaz Rahman, this is unforgivable and unacceptable in any kind of media reporting or coverage, and should not be tolerated or allowed to probe in to people's private lives without consent.

I am totally agree with Mahnaz Rehman. Why media behaving like a " Thekedar" of the society. Who we are to blame any one.? Why we are interfering in personal lives of anybody. Is Media acting like the Conservative Father. I am not taking side of Dating Culture but not every girl who wears ABAYA is Bad in any meant. This type of program increases fears of parents and they don't permit their daughters to go any where even for study in universities and colleges. We demand a formal apology from the anchor and the producer, and assurance from concerned authorities that no such episodes will be aired in future.

We, the civil society, are deeply concerned over recently aired episode of “Sawera ka Chapa” and demand that authorities concerned must take appropriate steps to compensate the harassed couples.

SDF fully support the views of Mahnaz Rahman Saheba and endorse the demand of public apology.
We have noticed that due to lack of professional ethnics training some anchors try to encroach their ‘capacity and limits’. This should be stopped immediately.
Although Sindhi electronic press is the most non-technical area in terms of professional and skilled staff but they never screen these kinds of stupid shows because of their being progressive and secular in spirit.
Some Urdu channels are reactionary and irritated to democratic and progressive values; they love military dictators rather than the elected regimes. They are also hostile to freedom of movement and speech of the general public.
Even channels of good people like AAJ shows CHAPA kind of programme like they are authorised to enter in to the private life of common citizens and they go for CHAPAS to internet cafes and wine shops.
Objective journalism demand respect of the freedom of others.

Dear Mehnaz:
I am 100 percent agreed with u. Actually when a person who does not know the values of journalism could do the same as Maya Khan did. But its not only her fault but its the fault of the team and producers too who initiated this stupid idea.
She has no right to in to someone's home or personal place to investigate. Even I am dis agreed with the contents of all morning shows.

I fully agree with mahnaz rehman samaa TV has no right to humiliate someone either it is a couple or individual.it is true that unfortunately in our country the not only the human right violation in common practice but we also feel proud when we break the low. The samaa TV show such act is very condemnable and the chief justice should also take a suomoto action against samaa TV team and should gave them exemplary punishment to stop such acts in future.

We are living in a society where all fundamental rights of common people have been ignored either by the government or the media and one such example is the program aired on Samaa tv. The question arises here is that in what capacity the anchor and her team asking questions from the couples sitting there? Are they authorized to make a movie of visitors without their consent? If any mishap occured there who would be responsible for that, the anchor or the people sitting there? Media should be careful and show responsibility and dont loose the moral ethics.

Women empowerment is very good. We must all support it. But women in power must not abuse their power like some of the anchors do. While doing the kind of programmes - including those also done by male reporters - one wonders as to whether exclusivity is the only motive.
These anchors, while hunting what they perceive as social ills must also focus on the "greedy corporate ills." Samaa for instance fired 25 workers last week in one go - rendering 25 families jobless . Is there any sense of responsibility at all? Will this act reduce or add to the socio-economic ills?
Also, tv reporters and anchors must be discouraged to act as moral vigilantes. They dine and dance with those corporate executives who throw their workers out on a wink, without considering the plight of all those people.
Same is happening I guess at other channels. While rationalising expenses is a desired corporate necessity, this probably should not be happening st the cost of all those poor workers whose cumulative salary bills are far less than that of a prominent anchor.
Poor, hard-working workers do need a more empathetic consideration.

Here is the response of Samaa TV CEO Zafar Siddiqui on the tv show by entertainer-cum-journalist Maya Khan:
*"I have travelled to Khi to look at this matter and yesterday Maya apologised in her program for this. I can assure this will never happen again. Samaa is a progressive channel. There are certain other directives that have been put into place as of yesterday. I thank everyone concerned in bringing this matter to my attention. It's really appreciated." *
On the other hand, Maya has made NO apology so far and said this was not about hurting people and *the discussion on public forums is pointless*.
She claimed that she had been advised by "some parents" to do this show. To open eyes of those concerned parents, here is a video clip in which she is seen dancing on tv show and hugging a na-mehram guy. What a hypocrisy!
In another development, advertising companies are also considering to not release any advert to any such TV channel which broadcasts such cheap tv shows, invades privacy of people and harasses innocent citizens.

Outrageous, disgusting. I am so mad that it's becoming hard to control my
rage. I wish I was there in the park and this cow approaches me while I am on a
date! I am sure she would get what she deserves from me. I may have punched her
live in her tv show. I am not sure but I guess Maya was accompanied by Amber,
formerly of The News and she herself was a bombshell in her days. And even in
this clip, where she is following the instructions of that cow, Maya, she
doesn't seem all that Islami. What a pathetic state of mind (and affairs),
really!
I am sorry for my non PG language but this whore, yes the
attention-seeking-whore needs to be taught a lesson. Thanks!

In its most recent episode, Sawera ka Chapa raided a park in Clifton Karachi
and humiliated the couples dating there. It seems that they have arrested the
criminals or culprits of unforgivable crimes. The program team ran after the
couples and forced them to give interviews without their consent. They asked
them unethical and illogical questions such as;
Why are you here?
Why are you dating here?
Have you prior approval from your parents for dating?
What are your reasons for running away from the schools/colleges/ universities
and offices during official timings.
You are the black spots on the name of family, community, religion and country!
You are the axis of evil in society!
Now the question is that; do the media have the right to act in this way and
threaten the dating couples of dire consequences?
Who gave this right to Sawera ka Chapa to ask such kind of questions and
infringe upon individuals privacy?
If the Sawera ka Chapa has the right to investigate and verdict then what is
the meaning of being policing and judiciary? What is the difference between this
kind of media vigilantism and that demonstrated by the Taliban?
How can the Sawera ka Chapa team blame Abaya as a symbol of prostitution?
Where is the censor board to censor such kind of programs?
The dilemma with us is that we are living in a country where the violation of
fundamental rights is a usual practice. No one dares to raise her voice against
such kind of violations. The violators are free to invade privacy without any
prior approval or consent. No formal accountability system is in place for such
kind of violations. The societal conservativeness and its adherence to some
so-called taboos restrict the individual s freedom of expression and speech. It
also restricts the freedom of movement and association.
We, the civil society, are deeply concerned over recently aired episode of
Sawera ka Chapa and demand that authorities concerned must take appropriate
steps to compensate the harassed couples. We demand a formal apology from the
anchor and the producer, and assurance from concerned authorities that no such
episodes will be aired in future.
السلام علیکم۔ سب سے پہلی بات تو یہ کہ پاکستان میں الیکٹرانک میڈیا خود رو گھاس کی طرح اگتا چلا جا رہا ہے اور میڈیا کی آزادی کے نام پر جو چاہے کرتا پھر رہا ہے۔۔مقصد اس کا صرف سستی شہرت ہے اور اپنے پروگرام کی ریٹنگ بڑھانا ہے۔ مجھے ذاتی طور پر معلوم ہے کہ کس طرح ہر پروگرام کے فارمیٹ کا فیصلہ ہوتا ہے اور کون کون سے کرتب کر کے پروگرام مشہور کروانے کی کوشش کی جاتی ہے۔آپ لوگ ہمارے چینلز کے پالیسی میکرز کی سوچ کا اس بات سے اندازہ لگا لیں کہ شام کا وقت جو ٹیلی وژن کی پیشہ ورانہ زبان میں پرائم ٹائم کہلاتا ہے جب سب سے زیادہ لوگ ٹیلی وژن دیکھہ رہے ہوتے ہیں اس وقت دنیا بھر میں انٹرٹینمنٹ کے پروگرام چلتے ہیں لیکن ہمارے ہاں اس وقت سیاست دان ایک دوسرے کو ٹاک شوز میں بیٹھے گالیاں دے رہے ہوتے ہین۔ایک آدمی جو دن بھر کی تھکا دینے والی مصروفیت کے بعد ذرا ریلیکس کرنے کے لیے ٹی وی کے سامنے آتا ہے وہاں اسے مسائلستان مسائلستان کے نعرے سنائی دیتے ہیں۔اب بتائیے اس کی ذہنی حالت کیا ہو گی؟؟؟۔ہونا تو یہ چاہیے کہ اس وقت ایسے پراگرام پیش کیے جائیں جن سے عوام کر تفریح ملے نہ کہ اور ذہنی اذیت۔ دوسری بات یہ کہ جہاں تک چھاپہ مار قسم کے پروگرام کا تعلق ہے اس طرح کے پروگرام ساری دنیا میںٹیلی کاسٹ کیے جاتے ہیں۔اور پارک ایک عوامی جگہ ہے۔یہ کسی کا گھر نہیں نہ ہی چادر اور چاردیواری کا نظریہ یہاں فٹ بیٹھتا ہے۔بنیادی انسانی حقوق کسی بھی ملک یا قوم کی تہذیب اور اخلاقیات کا جنازہ نکالنے کی اجازت نہیں دیتے۔آج کل ڈیٹنگ کے نام پر جو کچھہ ہو رہا ہے کیا وہ بنیادی انسانی حقوق ہیں؟؟؟یورپ اپنی اس آزادی کے ہاتھوں خود یرغمال بن چکا اور ہم اس سے سبق حاصل نہیں کر رہے۔ہم ان کی اچھائیاں نہیں اپناتے کمزوریاں خوب اپنا لیتے ہیں۔ خدارا! نسل ِ نو کو بنیادی انسانی حقوق کے نام پر بے راہ روی کا درس نہ دیں۔ زیرِ بحث پروگرام کا طریقہ کار غلط ہو سکتا ہے اور قابلِ گرفت بھی۔لیکن ڈیٹنگ کی وکالت نہ کی جائے۔ذرا تصور کیجئے کہ کیا کسی کی بہن ،بیٹی کسی غیر مرد کے ساتھہ اس طرح پارکوں میں گھومے پھر تو کیا وہ بنیادی انسانی حقوق ہوں گے؟؟؟؟ اس "ڈیٹنگ" اورلڑکیوں لڑکوں کے آزادانہ میل ملاپ سے کسی کی زندگی پر کیا اثرات مرتب ہوتے ہیں اس کی جھلکیاں آ پ یو ٹیوب پر اپنی "سابقہ گرل فرینڈز" کی ویڈیو پوسٹ کرنے والوں اور ان لڑکیوں کی تباہ شدہ زندگی پر تحقیق کر کے دیکھہ لیجئے ۔آپ ڈیٹنگ کی وکالت کرنا بھول جائیں گے۔
نیوز چینلز کے لیے ضابطہ اخلاق ضرور ہونا چاہیے اور انیکر پرسن اگر حقیقی معنوں میں انسانی حقوق کی خلاف ورزی کریں تو انھیں عدالتوں میں لے کر جائیں۔ایک یا دو اینکرز کو سزا ہوئی تو باقی سب خود سدھر جائیں گے۔ نوٹ: امید کرتا ہوں کہ میری رائے سے کسی کی دل آزاری نہیں ہو گی۔

Dear Mehnaz: I am 100 percent agreed with u. Actually when a person who does not know the values of journalism could do the same as Maya Khan did. But its not only her fault but its the fault of the team and producers too who initiated this stupid idea. She has no right to in to someone's home or personal place to investigate.

I saw the you tube video of that particular programme, it was just rubbish. No has the right to intervene in anybody's personal life. Furthermore, no any tv channel whether news or entertainment are supposed to be involved in such kind of activity. The management of Samaa TV should take action against the host of that particular progamme for breaching the ethics.

Dear All, If we see the logic of the issue, the protest is quite right, we could not spoil any one's private life for the sake of TRP or content of the of the show.Morning programs are getting impossible, they can go for any worst and useless format for the program content.
The society has many black spots then blaming a individual for his/her misbehavior or any anti-cultural chore done by anyone.At least publicly exposure on the national TV could disgrace them in the society. Here counseling by maintaining the secrecy needed, if they are determined to guide them for their good.
Hypocrisy is the main problem of our society, highly liberate electronic media criticizing on such things? strange, who always talk about the freedom of expression, questioning on the freedom of individuals. Isn't it confusing?
The channels should line up the code of conduct for them, this will definitely improve their quality and also help them to obtain the intellectual viewership in future

Our society is already suffering from serious sexual repression...dont we know of men ogling at women, jeering at them , passing lewd remarks, even pinching them in crowded places??? Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote" fierce morality is nothing but repressed passion".
One could notice the glee in the voice of the hijabi's girls and the twinkle in the eye of the others as if they had discovered a mortal sin...a man and a woman sitting on a bench in a Park....For God's sake please leave people indulge in innocent interactions, unless they dont make an utter and visible public nuisance of themselves. I am truly shocked at the inconsistency of that stupid guy who claimed that he went to the Park with his woman cousin...so that is kosher.... but watching couples was unbearable. This guy should have his head examined and be immediately permitted to let his steam off somewhere else....he is really pent up, man!!!
The moral squad led by Agony Aunt..whatever her name...should be harnessed before she starts entering peoples bedrooms and telling them how one should sleep with ones spouse.
Sadly, Owaise

Dear All, If we see the logic of the issue, the protest is quite right, we could not spoil any one's private life for the sake of TRP or content of the of the show.Morning programs are getting impossible, they can go for any worst and useless format for the program content.
The society has many black spots then blaming a individual for his/her misbehavior or any anti-cultural chore done by anyone.At least publicly exposure on the national TV could disgrace them in the society. Here counseling by maintaining the secrecy needed, if they are determined to guide them for their good.
Hypocrisy is the main problem of our society, highly liberate electronic media criticizing on such things? strange, who always talk about the freedom of expression, questioning on the freedom of individuals. Isn't it confusing?
The channels should line up the code of conduct for them, this will definitely improve their quality and also help them to obtain the intellectual viewership in future

This morning show is supposed to be investigative in nature and is meant to investigate any issue, which it considers, in its eyes, injurious to society. During this investigative program, all forms of basic human rights are violated and it is an invasion to privacy. This program claims that it will help in bringing “reforms” in society and slap the “evil” of so-called “moral looseness”.
>In its most recent episode, “Sawera ka Chapa” raided a park in Clifton Karachi
and humiliated the couples dating there. It seems that they have arrested the criminals or culprits of unforgivable crimes. The program team ran after the couples and forced them to give interviews without their consent. They asked them unethical and illogical questions such as;
>Why are you here? >Why are you dating here? >Have you prior approval from your parents for dating? >What are your reasons for running away from the schools/colleges/ universities
and offices during official timings.
>You are the black spots on the name of family, community, religion and country! >You are the axis of evil in society! >Now the question is that; do the media have the right to act in this way and
threaten the dating couples of dire consequences?
>Who gave this right to “Sawera ka Chapa” to ask such kind of questions and
infringe upon individuals privacy?
>If the “Sawera ka Chapa” has the right to investigate and verdict then what is
the meaning of being policing and judiciary? What is the difference between this kind of media vigilantism and that demonstrated by the Taliban?
>How can the “Sawera ka Chapa” team blame “Abaya” as a symbol of prostitution? >Where is the censor board to censor such kind of programs?
>The dilemma with us is that we are living in a country where the violation of
fundamental rights is a usual practice. No one dares to raise her voice against such kind of violations. The violators are free to invade privacy without any prior approval or consent. No formal accountability system is in place for such kind of violations. The societal conservativeness and its adherence to some so-called taboos restrict the individual’s freedom of expression and speech. It also restricts the freedom of movement and association.
>We, the civil society, are deeply concerned over recently aired episode of
“Sawera ka Chapa” and demand that authorities concerned must take appropriate steps to compensate the harassed couples. We demand a formal apology from the anchor and the producer, and assurance from concerned authorities that no such episodes will be aired in future.
