Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy’s Saving Face, Why Not Saving Pakistan?!

(Hafiz Muhammad Noman, Karachi)

It is really an honour that Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is the first Pakistani lady who was nominated for the Oscar Award and Pakistan is surely proud of her as she caused to brighten Pakistan’s name internationally whereas none brought the Oscar Award in the history of Pakistan before!

Doubtless, Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy made a good documentary and highlighted an issue in Pakistani society in which women are attacked and their faces are burnt with acid and she should surely be highlighting the real issues existing in Pakistani society.

Obviously the topic Chinoy chose for her documentary was a matter of concern and they should really be coped with seriously but can anybody tell me how many incidents of the acid attack take place in Pakistan? These types of incidents are very few and most of the incidents normally occur within families and there are definitely family matters usually behind these incidents!

I don’t say that I am against Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy or her documentary but she made documentary on the topic that America and other liberal countries appreciate. She made documentary on the faces of women that are burnt with acid but why not she makes documentary on the faces of those children, women and older people whose faces are burnt and get black due to drone attacks? America keeps killing them by drone attacks that fire missiles on innocent people and their faces are unable to identify!

I surely guarantee that if Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy had made a documentary on this issue, neither had she received Oscar Award and nor would her documentary have been included in the event because the topic was against America and US never liked the documentary against it!

Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy has everything she needs. She has money, fame, instruments and perhaps she needs nothing more. She is surely talented and can create a good documentary on drone attacks in which a foreign country or an enemy of Pakistan harms Pakistan’s sovereignty and integrity and kills a lot of innocent people declaring them terrorists although US itself is the biggest terrorist of the world!

Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy should definitely highlight issues of Pakistan and surely the topic she chose previously could be coped with easily if our law enforcement agencies or police performed better. Hence, it is crucial to bring improvements in law enforcement agencies and train police morally and religiously so that the society could be saved from these types of issues whereas Chinoy should also highlight those issues that are harming Pakistan so that everybody could know how Pakistan is affected by external issues!
