Who the hell the street punk turned TV anchor Kamran Shahid thinks he is? This sifarishi lout acts smug and has his snout in air most of the time to take on a distinguished Jurist of Pakistan, Justice Wajihuddin Ahmed. Kamran has to be born again to reach the stature of Justice (R) Wajihuddin Ahmed. Is Kamran Shahid displaying his anti-Urdu speaking bigotry against the Honorable(R) Justice. Kamran Shahid has brought shame to all Ravians. This insolent behaviour is to be expected from a noveau riche yokel. Kamran is in the same category, as Kamrans object of admiration, the national scum bag, Malik Riaz.
Kamran is way out of his league when dealing with Justice (R) Wajihuddin Ahmed. Kamran’s faked anger and crocodile tears for the poor of Pakistan, can now be dismissed in light of his rude temperament. If nothing else, he should have stopped needling Justice (R) Wajihuddin Ahmed, when he realized the delicacy of the situation. Heavens No! Kamran wanted to draw blood. His quest for “almighty buck,” and cheap race for ratings caused this furore. Kamran showed his punkish rude-a-pest behavior ad infinitum, and continued to provoke the honourable Judge, until, he drew an emotional response. This is an example of a well-planned verbal ambush.
Most likely, Kamran is sitting on the hot air of going to the University of Westminster. But, this episode has punctured his sanctimonius balloon. These days very few Pakistanis can even afford to go to college, let alone to Westminster. Only Malik Riaz and a few exception like Kamran Shahid can afford such exorbitantly expensive schools. As a Ravian, this writer feels really disappointed at the type of “kachra,” GCU is producing. Here is the list of Alumni of GCU, to whom “punks,” like Kamran Shahid cannot hold a match stick, let alone a candle.
