Ashura, Kabirwala and media bias…

In continuation to my yesterday's post, let me share couple of harsh truths. I am writing this due to blunt lies printed in daily Khabrain on 30 December.

The newspaper tells me that the procession breached the rules. Those who have been reprimanded have used the same street for many years. It was not a procession but a smaller chunk that were going to Imambargah. Also the procession stopped for three hours. The procession on Ashura starts at 8:00 am and finishes at 4:00 pm. This routine was also followed this year and jaloos ended in time. This blatant lie only seconds media bias towards matam and azadari.

Media stupidity needs correction, and only people in Kabirwala can resolve differences.
