‘Qandeel Baloch murdered by her own brother’, that was a
message I saw on one of my whatsapp groups, when I woke up this morning.
Immediately I checked news to confirm and it proved to be true.
I wonder why but instantly my mind flew to another former
model and actress who also remained controversial in the past, Veena Malik. I
realized that Late Qandeel Baloch shares many commonalities with Veena whether
it is their bold personalities, public hatred or even death threats.
Veena Malik who came into limelight in 2010 after her
appearance on Indian reality show Bigg Boss, remained most debated topic on national
and international television and social media like Baloch. The former engaged
in the debate with the same Mufti who recently got under rage of public, media
and his counterparts and even suspended from Ruet-e-Hilal Committee membership after
his video and selfies with Qandeel Baloch posted on social media.
Mrs. Malik received death threats from fundamentalists when
she apparently posed nude for the front cover of the Indian magazine with the
initials of ISI tattooed on her arm. Likewise, Baloch also claimed that
she was getting life threatening calls and her life was constantly in danger
after her controversial video went viral.
Most of the people think that both of these ladies showed
immoral behavior and brought defame for Pakistan. However, the only difference
between two is the Chance… what is that chance? In the end of 2013, Veena Malik
married to a respectable businessman Asad Khan Khattak, performed Umrah
afterwards with her family and announced retirement from the film industry.
Now, she wants to devote herself for the study of Islam and
her children to become hafiz e Quran. This might not have happened if she was
killed earlier, before her marriage, before her transformation, before grabbing
the chance available to her. The chance that Allah has given to every human
being in this world to get back on the righteous path, which has now taken away
from Qandeel Baloch not by Allah but his most intelligent creation.
Rest in peace Qandeel Baloch.
No body, No Bloody body has the authority to take away the chance from any human being.
