Warning: this is a 'yes, but' tweet: violence and vandalism is unacceptable, but I have to say that what irshad bhatti said was also highly insulting. A sad and hurtful comment that is made too often on national media. But then, if you hire a clown you should expect a circus.
Once again: this is not by any means condoning the attack on geo office, which is unacceptable and illegal and counterproductive. I condemn it. But I also call on national media to please avoid hurtful and degrading comments like this, which seem to be far too common now.
A lesser example of this is the use of 'saeen sarkar' as a pejorative comment. Have seen many use this and would ask them to please desist. The term saeen is a mark of respect and is not to be degraded like this.
And once again, for those late to the party, the gang that attacked geo today, and the 'journalist' that led them are thugs, pure and simple. But that does not change the frankly offensive nature of the comments.
