Today, I happened to tune into Pakistan’s state run TV Channel PTV, there was a Benazir tribute song going on. I realized that BB’s first death anniversary is coming; so this song is a part of the coverage. But to my surprise, right after the song, they aired a documentry featured on BB’s life and all the day I witnessed their special coverage including songs, documentaries, promos, tributes and much more. BB’s death anniversary is on Dec 27.

But wait a moment, before that, we have birthday of Pakistan’s founding father, and a great leader Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, on Dec 25. All TV channels excluding PTV were featuring much patriotic coverage according to the ocassion. I was waiting for PTV to show any promo of the coverage of Quaid’s birthday, but all in vain. After all, what can we expect from the holy Information Minister Mohtarma Sherry Rehman?

In this post, I didn’t mean to disgrace Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, I respect her. But is it like, she is becoming a holy character for us? I mean Yes! we should be presenting her the tribute but we shouldn’t be forgetting our real heros.

I have seen people quoting Benazir Bhutto’s sayings as if they are quoting a hadith. Many places including Airports, Hospitals, Housing Societies, Sports grounds are named after her. Even coins are gonna be having BB’s photo. Guys! isn’t it too much of the tribute?

Jinnah’s birthday is just 2 days ahead, and we are still waiting to see PTV’s coverage. Will PTV create a balanced coverage? or it will continue to make blunders? Tell me your feelings in the comments.
