(Pakdestiny.com) Who killed Internet sensation Qandeel Baloch – Pakistani media or her brother influenced by Mufti Abdul Qawi episode — most believe it is media.
Media Incites people?
“Pakistani electronic media put her in a place by inciting people against her in the Qavi episode that anyone could have killed her. Eventually her brother murdered her this week,” says a blogger.
She said the way Pak media had made Punjab Governor Salman Taseer vulnerable in the blasphemy laws similarly it incited people against Qandeel. In that case, leading from the front was TV anchor Mehr Bokhari had literally declared Taseer ‘blasphemuor’ in a talk show on Samma TV in 2010 just before he was shot dead by his police guard Mumtaz Qadri.
A Blogger : No Country for Bold Women
“We Failed You Qandeel, No Country for Bold Women, No Honour in Killing. We demand exemplary punishment for the killer, action by the media regulatory authority against TV channels who assassinated her character and posthumously disrespected her by broadcasting images of her body,” the blogger.
Where is Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority sleeping? asked by the blogger. “PEMRA should impose heavy fines and impose ban on the private TV channels involved in instigating people against personalities,” she said, adding the Pak media is totally responsible for Qandeel’s murder.
Qavi : Those who intend to or humiliate clerics must learn from Qandeel Baloch’s fate
On the other hand, Muftif Qavi said: “Those who intend to or humiliate clerics must learn from Qandeel Baloch’s fate.” Qavi was last month embroiled in a scandal with Baloch after she uploaded her pictures with him during a meeting. Baloch, 26, was killed on Saturday by her brother for what he said was “dishonouring” the family by posting videos and posts on Facebook.
Reacting on the killing of the social media celebrity, Qavi, who was suspended from the Pakistan government’s Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, said: “Those who have humiliated clerics must seek repentance and should ask forgiveness from clerics as well as Almighty Allah. “I had forgiven Qandeel for what she had done against me. I have never had any hatred for her,” he told Express Tribune newspaper.
Baloch had ridiculed Qavi on various television channels and tried to imply that he was crazy about her. Qavi said: “I had met Qandeel in an effort to bring her the path of righteousness. I was asked by some people why you met Qandeel. I told them we should hate sin but not a sinner.”
The cleric further said: “People should realise that religious clerics are the pious face of Islam and they should not dare to play with their reputation or try to malign them otherwise they will face the curse of God.
“I had convinced Qandeel to repent on her sins and asked her to come towards the right path. I had even offered her a marriage proposal in her new life,” Qavi said.
Baloch had received threats from the supporters of Mufti Qavi for allegedly trying to disgrace him. She had later requested security from the interior ministry which she was denied. – Pak Destiny
I think we all and her family responsible for this incident sorry but it’s true
And where are those patriarchs and chauvinists who were digging up dirt on Qandeel? What will they say about this Mufti whose hypocrisy Qandeel exposed before leaving this cruel world?
کاش قندیل بلوچ کو پتہ ہوتا کہ اس کے ساڑھے سات لاکھ فیس بک فالورز میں سے کوئی اس کے جنازے پر نہیں آئے گا اور اس کا جنازہ اس کے گاؤں کا وہ مولوی پڑھائے گا جس نے شاید کبھی اس کی ویڈیوز دیکھی بھی نہیں ہوں گی ۔۔۔
ہربات پر مولوی کو موردالزام نہیں ٹھہرایا جا سکتا بہت سی غلطیاں ہمارے معاشرے کی ہیں
For Me
Media Media And Media
Is Responsible For Her Murder Thats It
“Mufti Has Nothing To Do With That”
Mufti has nothing to do with it. He has already been punished much more than he was guilty of.
This is how educated Pakistan reacted on Qandeel Baloch’s Honor killing.
P.s : No wonder they made a hero out the Salman Taseer’s assassin
Media is responsible for the killing of Salman Taseer and #Qandeel baloch. Our media is not azaad its #Beghairat #Pakistani #Media
The way we used to treat Qandeel Baloch was pathetic..
Here, I’m referring to the comments on her posts, everyone used to say “maar kuon nai jaati”..
And now when she’s gone we have love & care for her all over the TL’s and trending hashtags..
Aren’t we too quick to judge the people?? Her murder wasn’t the solution to what she was doing.. Aren’t we equally responsible for her murder, as we gave it hype just like in Salman Taseer’s case. . .
Aray logo tumhara kia, main janoun mera khuda Janay !!
Yes actually media is the killer esp Mubashir Luqman.
The media had a role to play in it for sure, but let’s not pretend that the attitude of the murderer is a foreign concept to Pakistan. Almost all desis have this bizarre idea that a woman is somehow supposed to be the honour of her family and when their bizarre ideals are not met, they resort to name calling in the best case scenario and murder in the worse case.
Mufti Qavi shot to fame after late Social Media sensation Qandeel Baloch floated selfies and video clips of her meeting with him on Social Media. These led to Mufti Qavi being stripped of his responsibilities as member of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee and him being ridiculed by many quarters.
Understandably a man of his stature could not bear this for no fault of his own, as he kept stating that Qandeel Baloch had asked to meet him. However, late Qandeel Baloch declared that Mufti Qavi had invited her and later she added he had ulterior motives.
Now after Qandeel Baloch’s coldblooded murder, these are points that should not be discussed now but Mufti sahab has gone ahead and said many things regarding her after her murder people have been forced to raise an eyebrow and feel there is more than meets the eye.
Mufti sahab began by saying he had forgiven Qandeel Baloch and also offered to lead her funeral prayers. He also warned that people should learn from Ms. Baloch’s death and not mess with people like him – nothing more sinister than religious and respected leaders.
And now he has been included in the murder investigation on the behest of the mother of the same woman who tried to mar his reputation.
Qandeel Baloch was a larger than life personality in life who had no issues with confrontation and would stand up to those who criticised and opposed her. It seems even in death Qandeel Baloch will continue this trend.
