Twitter alert: Sana Bucha resigns?

Bucha resigns, allegedly in protest of Geo’s rehiring of Dr Aamir Liaquat.


Web Desk July 01, 2012

Twitter was abuzz on Sunday due to rumors of major shifts in the media world – the alleged resignation of Pakistani TV anchor and columnist Nasim Zehra from Dunya TV, and the resignation of TV anchor Sana Bucha from Geo.

While Bucha’s resignation dominated trends in Pakistan for her resignation and refusal to do her show, purportedly in protest of Geo’s rehiring of Dr Aamir Liaquat (read: Delusion, denial and ‘Dr’ Liaquat), Zehra’s resignation rumor focused on her exit as a protest against the recently staged show featuring Malik Riaz, Mubasher Lucman and Mehar Bukhari. TV anchor Maria Memon tweeted that she filled in for Sana Bucha on June 30, adding weight to the rumour.

While many took the time to laud Bucha for a principled stand, many others questioned whether both resignations were just temporary stunts.

Baseer Agha | 11 years ago | Reply Modernization and Westernization are two different things, Islam is the World most modern religion, what is the trend in Pakistan, is they think being a Modern if they are westernized. Any how Good Stand for SanaBucha

Maybe a fool could think that these guys have principles.majority of these Anchors can only preach,prompt,criticize,instigate and lament others.many of my friends and me left watching Geo news coz of their biased reporting and biased and hypocrite anchors.
