Twitter stands By Nasir Khan Jan (videos)

The debate over questionable content of Pakistani morning shows is never ending. Barring a few exceptions, most of the morning shows trivialise social issues (case in point: Nida Yasir’s black face brides or Sanam Baloch’s Aamir Liaquat’s second marriage fiasco) and receive flak for that on social media. Similarly, a recent show invited social media sensation Nasir Khan Jan and unsurprisingly, things went south. A clip from the interview has gone viral where the host, Mohammad Shuaeb could be seen belittling Khan in a condescending tone. This didn’t go down well with the tweeps who took the show and the host to the cleaners for conducting the conversation in bad taste. “This is pretty shameful – I know morning shows are not doing well on most channels, but this one on Samaa takes the cake – invites a guest only to insult him – copying this from Arnab Goswami I presume who has perfected it to an art – credit to Nasir Khan Jan who kept his cool,” a journalist, Omar Quraishi lauded Khan for his calm responses. This is pretty shameful - I know morning shows are not doing well on most channels, but this one on Samaa takes the cake - invites a guest only to insult him - copying this from Arnab Goswami I presume who has perfected it to an art - credit to Nasir Khan Jan who kept his cool. “Wow! I am really impressed by Nasir Khan Jan the way he didn’t loose his temperament, and didn’t bow down to the bullying host,” a user shared. “First time ever, I liked Nasir Khan Jan for keeping his cool and tried to control the situation with argument. Right or wrong I’m no one to judge. What stupid hosting was that? Insane. These folks can stoop down to the core of besharmi just to get ratings. Disgusting!” @ omar r qureshi ,This is pretty shameful - I know morning shows are not doing well on most channels, but this one on Samaa takes the cake - invites a guest only to insult him - copying this from Arnab Goswami I presume who has perfected it to an art - credit to Nasir Khan Jan who kept his cool. Another Twitter user called out the host, asking him to apologise. “I don’t think anyone ever liked Nasir Khan Jan for his content but now people are taking his side means you did wrong. You must apologise for your bullying behaviour.” “I never liked or endorsed acts of Nasir Khan Jan but the way he dealt with the bully over the show is commendable. These anchors can stoop down to any level for the sake of ratings where they’ve forgot ethical limitations as well but this is well defended and answered by him,” tweeted one user.
