Aaj TV tenders apology

21 Jun, 2016

The management of Aaj TV and organisation's staff members have unwavering faith in the finality of prophethood of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). This was stated by Shahab Zuberi, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Aaj TV, in his meeting with a delegation of Ulema which was led by provincial deputy chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Qari Usman. The delegation also included Aalami Majlis Tahafuzz Khatm-e-Naboowat's leaders Rana Mohammad Anwar and Maulana Qazi Ahsan.
On Aaj TV management's behalf, Shahab Zuberi tendered an unconditional apology for inadvertently hurting the sentiments of Muslims in Pakistan and abroad through broadcast of highly objectionable remarks of anchor Hamza Ali Abbasi in a show, making it clear that the anchor had raised that highly objectionable question on his own volition. Shahab Zuberi added that the management had never asked or directed Hamza Ali Abbasi to raise that question; nor was he [Hamza Ali Abbasi] asked to discuss it on the last day of his show/programme.
Expressing the resolve and unflinching determination of Aaj TV's organisation, Shahab Zuberi told the Ulema's delegation that the channel's management and staff members shall go to any extent for the protection of the honour and the finality of prophethood of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). Praising the role of Aalami Majlis Tahafuzz Khatm-e-Naboowat, Shahab Zuberi offered TV channel's full cooperation to Ulema.
