The ridiculousness with which Sahir Lodhi interrupted a participant's speech in his Ramazan show raised quite a few eye brows. Although he tried his best to defend his stance in an apology but the damage had already been done.

Now, the participant herself has given her two cents on the matter in a video posted on social media. Saba also went on to complete her poem.

Sahir Lodhi attracts public outrage for wrongly accusing girl of ‘insulting’ Quaid-e-Azam

"I'll continue right from where I was interrupted. Before I say anything about the video that went viral, I would like to complete the poem, on which I was accused of challenging the founder of our nation," Saba began. She clarified that the poem was not written by her and in no way insulted Jinnah.

"I hope I have clarified the doubts of those who thought that I was challenging the Quaid. Furthermore, I'm extremely grateful to those who stood by me and supported me. We are a nation who can raise voice against injustice, who can point their rights from their wrongs," she added.

Sahir Lodhi attempts to clarify misbehaviour with woman on live TV

"Instead of apologising for the way he spoke to me, Sahir Lodhi should have actually apologised for belittling a female on live TV, or that he interrupted a debater during the speech, or that he mislead my point completely," asserted Saba.

"Therefore, I am boycotting Sahir Lodhi's show. If a voice can be suppressed once, it can be suppressed yet again in the very show," she continued.

"I'm not boycotting debating for it is my passion. I will not stop, this is where I start," she concluded.

Kaleem Afzal | 7 years ago | Reply Greetings! What i saw the other day was not just interrupting a healthy debate or a female candidate from speaking her heart for a much consequential issue. We as a nation are never ready for change our thinking and psychology towards women in our society.Sahir Lodhi is another such ignorant and incompetent man to be on media. Media is a very sacred and highly responsible profession and should only be given to people who comes out of reputed institution for this job. Any addition or criteria which rests upon vulgar or sisy looks is not acceptable. People like Sahir Lodhi or his sister including many more others on T.V channels are ruining our society and talent. Most talented people have been blocked to enter due to such fools. Please, drop them to position where they belong.
