Do not judge me on 15 seconds (III)
FAISALABAD:
I have watched Salman Ahmad’s documentary and found it quite interesting. Pakistanis are not politically mature and tolerant towards diverse views and opinion. The documentary does not have anything obnoxious in it. It’s the perspective of someone who has spent most of his life in the West so his opinion cannot be appreciated without realising the cultural differences involved. Let me assure Salman that Pakistan has multiple sections of society, and while some might have opposed him many will favour his point of view, which is quite close to sufi teachings.
