Coffee With Marvi: Younas Khan

Younas Khan - Another Holy Cow

Saturday, October 17, 2009

It was very disturbing to see many media persons speaking against the calling of Younas Khan, Pakistan Cricket Team Captain, by the Standing Committee on Sports. Being a Parliamentary Committee, it is a supreme institution of the country for overseeing the happenings around sports. it was also un-understandable, why Younas Khan chose to to do that? Does he think he is above checks and balances? And do those who supported him think that he deserves to be another holy cow in the country?

Most disturbing factor was seeing Imran Khan hurling strong words against the Committee Chair. He went to the extent of saying, "I would have slapped him had I been Younas Khan". I'm not sure if he was serious. Being a political leader, an aspirant for the membership of Parliament for his party, should he be seen showing such a disregard for Parliament?

We have enough of holy cows here. Why we want more?

Who Am I?

I'm a highly emotional person with strength of resolve and passion. I love reading and entering into discussions on smallest possible issues. Thoroughly anti-religion person (ummm I mean, a passionate atheist!), I think there's a greater possibility of god being a creation of human beings. I have an unbeatable passion for swimming against the tide. I leave no stone unturned in challenging the status quo. Everything widely accepted as a "belief" itches me. I have a special corner in my heart for the weak and the marginalized. I'm a peace loving creature but a nuovu feminist too, so a little of militancy is allowed if it is against men! :))))) I'm a lover of art and theater, myself an actress and a member of Ajoka Theater Lahore. Have performed in many plays in India and Pakistan from Ajoka's platform. I love to make films. Short films, documentary films etc. Script writing for documentaries and TV serials is a newly discovered potential of mine! I like to stand up for the rights of powerless, and for democracy. A committed Marxist but still believe that no other alternative of democracy is better than it. So, you'd often find me on roads protesting on one thing or other! See you sometime soon :)
