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.
