Only because.....

Dear Express Tribune,

The nation doesn’t need to know what’s cooking in PM Gilani’s kitchen. So you better keep rubbish aside and don’t let it be the decoration of your newspaper. Fizza Batool is PM Yusuf Raza Gilani's daughter, doesn't mean Pakistani Press has the right to bring her personal life in the light. Who knew her till Express Tribune published this.

Media lost it long ago, and Express Tribune is no exception. This is ridiculous and highly irresponsible on Editor’s part to get a story published like hers. After all, floods and ethnical and sectarian clashes are enough to fill in the web or newspaper space.


This is the same media that condemn Sialkot lynching and Mukhtaran Mai’s gang rape and bring the public on roads to protest for securing the youth and respect of a woman. But on the other hand, the same media doesn’t think twice before ripping off a woman publicly only because her father happens to be Prime Minister of Pakistan.
