What a shameless character Asma Shirazi. Some time ago she was caught attending a party at our "friends" embassy. And now she is so shameless that she is defending another corrupt behavior.

کہتی ہے کہ میں نے کوئی پلاٹ نہیں لیا، کوئی آموں کی پیٹی نہیں لی، کوئی سہولت نہیں لی، کوئی پرمٹ نہیں لیا، صرف ایک عدد سرکاری حج کیا ہے
یعنی منطق یہ ہے کہ چھوٹی موٹی چوری تو جائز ہونی چاہئے
ناچ تو مہر رہی تھی، شیرازی تو صرف تالیاں بجا رہی تھی، ویسے یہ اپنے آپ کو سینئر صحافی کہ رہی تھی جبکہ یہ سینئر نہیں ہے، صحافت کے معیار کے مطابق یہ نئی اینٹری ہے
Mehr per tou yeh gana sahi baitha hai

@dell
This is a character assignation attempt by you to defame Asma Shirazi. What about ex playboy life style and pictures of Imran Khan with lots of White women during his cricket days. Now Imran has become a saint and a strong supporter of Taliban mafia. Someone has said correctly "Billi chali hajj ko soo choohay kha key". Be a gentleman and stop character assassination campaign of Asma Shirazi.
A Govt funded hajj is another thing but defaming her by posting pictures is inappropriate and invasion in her privacy. Would yo like to see pictures of your family on these pages on Internet? or what about your political hero Imran Khan. I am sure he has got more playboy pictures than anyone else.
sweettruth, can you tell me what is wrong in these pictures?
@dell
There is absolutely nothing wrong in these pictures but the intent is not good here. I have no problem with these pictures but narrow minded Right wing conservatives will have problem with these pictures.
well, these pictures are nothing compared with the interview she gave to matiullah jan of the dawn news-
@Scandinavian
"And now she is so shameless that she is defending another corrupt behavior."
A lot of politicians were defending it too (no surprise since they use this kind of things to buy the journos). I just watched Khawaja Asif, e.g., saying he saw nothing wrong with the practice because they were doing a "naik kam"... :)
I will never understand what good comes out of posting pictures of a news anchor's personal life or videos of a news anchor smoking. Why is our nation so obsessed with the personal lives of news media 'celebrities'? Our thoughts can be contrasting but our goals shouldn't be so damn scattered!
Seriously guys! We have a lot of much more important issues to worry about.
As for the Hajj issue, Aasma should be ashamed of herself. The hajj she performed was paid by the government. The government runs on tax money. The tax comes mostly from 'ghareeb awaam'. She had no right to go on that hajj. 'La Ilmi' is never an excuse especially when stealing from the poor awaam.
Attending a party at a foreign embassy can hardly be termed as "personal life", i think this is not a personal event-
Sweettruth,
Asma Shirazi is a public personality, we have every right to expose her hypocritical behavior, she is all goodie goodie with a hijab and all but she doesn't see a problem with govt funded Hajj and partying at the expense of US embassy.
Asma and Mehr are the darlings of right wingers and these rigth wingers need to see their reality.
Just like all right wingers were gung ho about TTP being a righteous "Mujahids" whereas they were exposed by the whole Davis affair.
This is not personal life, they were at AMERICAN EMBASSY.
Why don't you post proof of Imran's past life, go a head post pictures of Imran, and it's my right to repudiate those allegations.
And also, refrain from talking about my family, you don't know me like that!!! FYI none of my family members are in public and go to US embassy and party!!!
I have updated my post to address the 'Hajj' issue.
@dell
beteen Asma Shirazi and you only hting I can see is your persoanl dislking for her. How a Govt funded Hajj is corruption? And what is wrong if she is partying at US embassy?
I always respect each other's families but you are trying to expose Asma by posting her pictures with bad intent. Still there is nothing wrong with these pictures but some narrow minded members on this forum will criticize her because of these pictures.
@scandi
U.S Aid kahein na kahein tu lagani hay. Mehrin Bukhari,Asma Shirazi ka bhi hisa hay.
@ sweettruth,
I agree with the pictures part. That's her personal life. Who are we to judge her personal actions? I dont think she was drinking or doing drugs, even if she was we shouldnt consider media celebrities as angels or gods and expect them to be Masoom.
As for the hajj issue, it was paid out of government funds that is generated via taxation (mostly sales tax paid by the poorer class). What gives her the right or the eligibility to do free hajj along with her husband on government funds?
@ST
I personally have no ill will for Shirazi, I don't watch her shows. But I found it really funny that in her show on Wagah border she asked India to turn down the music because she was conducting her show on this side? That was so dumb of her!!
@iamsowise
HaiN bhai, hissa to unka hi hai jo apne asouloN aur apni koum kai mufad ko bechna jante haiN.
Btw: Asma Shirazi in no way is a person he deserves a government funded hajj. If the government wants to sponsor hajj for somebody, then do it for the poor and needy and not well off people like corrupt Asma Shorazi.
@Nota
A lot of politicians were defending it too (no surprise since they use this kind of things to buy the journos). I just watched Khawaja Asif, e.g., saying he saw nothing wrong with the practice because they were doing a "naik kam"... :)
Send an email to Talat with your findings on this d-bag Khawajah. He's been a darling of media lately but he needs to be exposed.
Official Hajj like plots is open corruption that government uses to hide it's deficiencies. The bigger corruption plots taken by judges, generals, politicians, bureaucrats, Journalists should be stopped. As far as Hajj is concerned religious scholars should come forward and high light it's religious value. My understanding is Hajj is not mandatory, those who can afford should perform one, which means it has to be from your hard earned savings not poor's tax money.
I don't know if Asma Sherazi is right or left journalist, I seldom watch her but her pictures from embassy party were uncalled for. As a journalist it's part of her job to be at parties like that. If Hamid Mir, Talat Hussein, Kashif Abbasi can build relations with Taliban why Asma Shirazi can't with foreign consulates? What do we expect news that we get from media are revealed to journalists in dreams? They have to build relationships with information sources be it ISI, embassay, politician, or jihadi to extract news.
Having said that Journalist like Politician needs to be careful using race or religion for personal growth. They may have short term personal gain but in long term nation pays the price as we are paying.
@Shirazi
Are you saying that all the journalists were present at the American embassy for reporting purposes or were they just enjoying and building relations with the Americans? Remember USA has a special budget for building a positive image in Pakistan by the use of money/parties. Can the journalists be trusted if they participate in such events?
Btw: Whom of the participating journalists made prg. or article about the party and the purpose of the party?
@To all members
Let the lady alone!!
She has not killed anyone; she is far better than killer Mumtaz Qadri. And what is wrong if Govt is funding hajj of some media members. Her party pictures is a poor attempt to tarnish her personality.
ye sab salay awam ki paison par ayashiyan kartay phirtay hain aur inko koi puchnay wala nahi hai. Ab isse ziada kiya be-hissi ho gi ke ek insan Hajj mein bhi makari karay. Idher to away ka away hi bigra hua hai.
Ch. Pervez Ilahi ne urbon rupay ki tv campaign chala dali aur dharallay se Talat ke program mein tasleem kya ke meine tax payers ke paisay istemal kiye, ta ke logon ko pata chalay ke usne kitna kaam kya. Kisi aur mulk mein ye confession usko jail mein daal daita magar janab pak sar zameen ke bashinday hain, so sab jaiz hai.
@Sweettruth
"She has not killed anyone; she is far better than killer Mumtaz Qadri."
What the heck? What kind of comparison is this by "bright" head like yours?
And why people call you "Bitterlies"? Eeehhhh....mind boggling ;)
In return for that Hajj benefit she couldn't find time to conduct a show on "hajj corruption" scandal-
She committed small corruption, but it can not be condoned because of scale of it-
Our politicians are the most corrupt in the world and the nation is also same. Media is also part of our nation just like our cricketers and some people do not mind if the hajj is funded by Govt. But criticism of hers is unjustified and display of her pictures is highly dis-tasteful.
CORRUPTION of all kinds is now a socially acceptable culture in Pakistan and the one who is not doing corruption is the one who has not yet got the opportunity!!!!
@Scandinavian
"What the heck? What kind of comparison is this by "bright" head like yours?"
Welcome to the crazy world of @bitterlies.... :)
@bitterlies
"Let the lady alone!!
I bet you're that fan of Britney....
"CORRUPTION of all kinds is now a socially acceptable culture"
And we know why:
"Let the lady alone!!"
What a dimwit!
@Scandinavian
I tell sweet truths all the time and you too are her critic. Shame on you! Glass ceiling issue is evident in this thread.
Some people firmly believe women should stay home, cook meal for the family, wash plates, clean house and breed children. This negative and backward mentality is still very strong in our society and some small minded people get jealous when they see a woman climbing high in her professional life.
@Scandinavian
When Hamid Mir's tape came out Kashif Abbasi and Talat Hussein in one of the program discussed how they themselves talked to alleged caller Usman. Among other things they discussed cricket at length with him. Some people may have issue why leading journalists are so cozy with killers who accept responsibility of every blast. But Kashif Abbasi aptly explained it. If he only talks to Usman when Usman has some news he will loose that source. Usman will only share news with him on regular basis if he feels comfortable with him. Same logic applies to journalists building relations with GHQ, consulates or Politicians. And yes journalists who build relations with information sources can be trusted, they all do - no exceptions.
Ladies and Gentlemen!!! Please welcome lota on this forum. He has joined us from his comfy bedroom to educate us on world issues. He is the biggest rocket scientist of this century.
"CORRUPTION of all kinds is now a socially acceptable culture"
And we know why (again):
"And yes journalists who build relations with information sources can be trusted, they all do - no exceptions.!!"
Sorry but that is such a screwed up statement -- even worse than @bitterlies. And since when did "building a relationship" mean do it by accepting bribes? It is NOT "building a relationship" but getting owned.
What a "corrupt" statement to make! Fascinating! :)
(Personally I think such a statement can come only from a very corrupt individual)
Shirazi Sb.
It would be really nice if they are partying at US embassy and getting close to them to extract info. But we all know the reality, you think Glen Beck parties with Palin to extract info? Obviously not, all fox news reporters were really close to Bush regime and towed his lines very well. Similarly, these journalists i.e. Asma and Bokhari etc were invited to US embassy so that they can get cosy with each other and than US embassy can influence their reporting.
Remember both Asma and Mehr are right wingers not left wingers. It wouldn't be a big surprise if Mosharraf Zaidi or Nadeem Paracha et al were partying in US embassy like that but this is sheer hypocrisy by Bokhari and Asma. That's why I posted these pictures and they have been circulating the internet for a while now and they are shocking to many people for many different reasons i.e. some have problem with here "dancing and paling" around with men and some have a problem with her hypocrisy, and I too belong to the latter group.
@Shirazi
As Dell already has pointed out there can only be reason in being f.ex. in the American embassy if journalists wants to get some information they otherwise couldn't get access to. As far as I know none of the participants have reported about the shadowy practice of the American embassy and the journalist who love to be invited to such places. So there is NO excuse to participate in such dubious activities.
@SweetTruth
I thought truth was bitter :)
Anyways I think you (for the time being) are a lost case. May Allah guide us to the right path and give us strength to speak the truth!
@Scandinavian
Major problem with misguided and ill-informed guys like you or lota on this fourm is you guys neither can handle the truth not watch the truth or even listen to the truth. You guys have cultivated a habit of escaping from the truth. That is why I call truths sweet; imagine you are finding hard to digest a sweet truth. How can you digest a bitter truth?
Stop escaping from the truth and stop using religion for everything. How do you know the path you are on is correct and how do you know I am on a wrong path.
Truth is she committed corruption and she herself said that it is not a good thing -period
@To all members
What is wrong if Govt sends someone on Hajj. How is it a corruption?
Let the lady alone!! No glass ceiling plz....
i would suggest to watch the whole program done by matiullah jan of dawn news, i am sure you will understand once the whole picture comes clear, she is just one of that big selected lot
@bitterlies
Looks like you are confessing to having enjoyed a Hajj on public expense :) :)
@Salam
"she is just one of that big selected lot "
Oh that is clear. BTW, it is also clear that is not the only type of bribery -- p;ots, lifafay we have often talked about here. Journalists openly admit 90% of them are corrupt.
@Salam
So waht if she was selected by the Govt for performing Hajj. Damn you do damn you don't.
It is upto her to decide whether it was a right hajj or not. Why everyone is pulling her legs? One can smell easily glass ceiling!!!
@lota
I have never been to Mecca but I would love to perform hajj on my own money. I will pray for you; you need it most.
she committed immoral act by performing hajj along with her husband on the expense of public money, she can afford the trip yet she used public money for this why? and then in return she did not debate over hajj scandal in her show? is that because her mouth was shut because of that BRIBE!
@ST
I think you have misunderstood the meaning of glass ceiling just like Jatoi misunderstood the meaning of "Musawat".
@salam
Who are we to decide her hajj acceptance. THis is between her and her God. Public money is wasted day in day out. And I do not think spending money on Hajj is a bribery.
This thread should be closed and we should stop defaming a lady.
@dell & Scandinavian
If your goal is to expose right wing hypocrisy on speaking against US in Public for ratings and enjoying cozy relations with them in private, I agree. Most of our political and media elite are like that and they shouldn't be. I am not against them maintaining working relationship with all information centers and perhaps you don't have any objection either. So no disagreements.
@ST
On Hajj .. my 2 cents ...
Official Hajj like plots is an open corruption that government uses to hide it's deficiencies. The bigger corruption plots taken by judges, generals, politicians, bureaucrats, Journalists should be stopped. As far as Hajj is concerned religious scholars should come forward and high light it's religious value. My understanding is Hajj is not mandatory, those who can afford should perform one once in life, which means it has to be from your hard earned savings not by taxes collected from masses.
No one is debating if that hajj was accepted by God or not, we are questioning her abuse of position, she was offered bribe so that she compromises in her professional field.
After taking that favor she then did not do a program on Hajj scandal, that is what happens when people take bribe, they end up compromising over their DUTY
@dell
Come on man! glass ceiling is a big problem in our society. One of my doctor cousins suffered alot at the hands of her husband who was less educated than her and also was earning less money than her. She underwent terrible times for several years due to her high education and handsome earning than her husband. In the end, she divorced him.
ST
And how does glass ceiling apply in this situation? Are you saying gov't corruption should not have any glass ceiling!!!
I didn't find Asma doing anything objectionable in those pictures atleast she was better than those sc#mbags saima mohsin and mehr bukhari..the little bit respect I had for mehr has gone down the drain after seeing her cozying up with chooras. koi aukaat nahi hai in donon ki. same goes for the male journalists h@rami bikao.it seems some of them were drinking alcohol(muft mein mil rahi hai ghareebon ko)... yahan woh drone attack kar rahe hain and these b@stards are enjoying with them.sell-outs.
On privacy issue, Once you're a public figure then there's no such thing as private life. People have a right to know if people, who hold a position of responsibility, are doing someting unacceptable.
