ISLAMABAD: President Arif Alvi on Wednesday expressed his frustration over a recent television program in which the host had interviewed sexually abused children without due regard to protect their privacy and identity.
In a message shared on the social networking platform Twitter, Alvi questioned the editorial policy of the television network, and whether the TV channel cared about the psychological impact of the show.
“Disgusting: A TV channel broadcast a show where the anchor interviewed sexually abused children in front of a huge crowd, and then broadcasted it for the world to see them,” he wrote.
Do not they care about the psychological impact & social ostracism or ridicule these flowers will face?
“Do not they care about the psychological impact & social ostracism or ridicule these flowers will face?” the president asked his followers. This is not the first time Alvi has spoken up about sexual abuse.
Last month, the president took to Twitter to express his outrage at statements of a retired Indian general about the mass rape of women in occupied Kashmir by security forces.
Arif Alvi termed comments by Maj Gen (R) SP Sinha calling for the rape of Kashmiri women as “disgraceful”. The president, in a tweet, said, “Imagine the fate of women in Indian-occupied Kashmir where such men wield power with total impunity.”
