Surely, Pakistan has produced some of the best musicians, artists, cricketers and authors. There is no dearth of talent in our country. Then what is it that compels us to hate on people like Malala Yousafzai when the whole world is recognizing her sacrifices and bravery?
We as a nation excel in providing mob justice, witch-hunting and jumping to conclusions. And while we are at it, we also ensure that no one succeeds beyond where we want/expect them to be. God forbid, if someone is able to achieve something noteworthy, we do whatever is in our power to bring down the undeserving person/organization.

The latest subjects of this witch-hunt seem to be Khaadi and Waqar Zaka. Let me clarify, I have never owned a single outfit by Khaadi (not brand conscious at all) and people like Waqar Zaka are just not my cup of tea. If anything, I do remember laughing at his expense in the past. I know better now, so I deliberately don’t share jokes targeting people like Meera,Taher Shah and Nasir Khanjan. If anything, I admire their resilience and secretly envy their confidence. Like all of us, they make mistakes and being in the public eye means their mistakes are almost never forgotten.
