Mukhtaran Mai

Is she being accused of making up her rape catastrophe to get a visa to leave the country??

I just saw this on Geo. It was a preview of some show…Capitol Talk maybe? (I’m not familiar with the show). There was a female actually making the accusation. I call her female, because she doesn’t deserve to be called a woman.

I think it was an MMA chic - she was in a burqa.

:rolleyes:

The nerve. I couldn’t believe my ears.

This is indeed so sad.
Where is our macho man Aamir Liaqat and Mushy are they just good enuff for Marathons......why not to do something for this poor lady

Re: Mukhtaran Mai

PCG,
Mai is a remarkable lady who has refused to take it lying down. Her courageous fight against her oppressors and the tribal system has made her a symbol of resistence and ray of hope for those who wish to change things. Thus the negative reaction from those moronic obcurantist who are running scared of a single female simply because she speaks the truth.

Its pathetic how the clergy reacts to rape, honor killings and lack of respect to women. These morons are defending centuries old tribalistic traditions under the garb of religion. By doing this they are maligning the good name of Islam and supporting an unjust sytem cause it serves their narrow minded vision of life.

Mushrraf and company having earned accolades in supporting Mai in her early day ordeal have managed to transform themselves into villians by their own stupid paranoia and shortsighted view of media management.

Re: Mukhtaran Mai

she is nothing but a toy..she is crore pati now with 2 crore bank balance...she has been used very clearly by NGO,s to talk rubbish abt pakistan......NGO,s r american agents...
mai has lost her support from common people after she has become a toy of america..again americans r everywhere

Re: Mukhtaran Mai

I think a more relevant question is.... Is that her real name?
Mai? Dont that mean old woman or something?
And why doesnt she have an actual last name? Its my main interest in this whole issue.. what kind of a name is that

Re: Mukhtaran Mai

Shes called Mia isn't she? Thats what i remember of the documentary anyway

Re: Mukhtaran Mai

It is her real name, its common. Mai is used for respect in villages :slight_smile: Bano in urdu and khanam in pashtu are common surnames used in pakistan.

MMA auties are quite boring, so must be that chic, most probably she is daughter of Qazi husain. she is very ordinary woman cant even debate properly, like his father :k:

Re: Mukhtaran Mai

Read the title of this thread: “Mukhtaran” Mai…her name is Mukhtaran…

Re: Mukhtaran Mai

Her name is not important...nor is the publicity that she is getting...nor the money that she is charged for...nor the stance of the western media

The fact is, an average woman got raped in Pakistan, she has made it public and she wants justice. How is the Pakistani judicial system going to respond to it? So far it has been predictable and disappointing.

Re: Mukhtaran Mai

If your tribe ordered you raped and your country raped you again by releasing your attackers, would you still love your country? Fk dirty pakis like you who give desis bad names. The only reason you’re so anti american is probably coz you were rejected for your visa. Sour grapes.

Re: Mukhtaran Mai

Guy1, your comments are disgusting.

  1. If it was your own mother or your own daughter, you would raise a ruckus. You’d be going to NGO’s and other nations as well.

  2. She is going to other sources, because the Pakistani gov’t didn’t do much for her. They can’t fix bloody leaking gutters in Karachi for the past 50 years, so do you think they’re going to help this one woman? In fact, she’s been threatened by gov’t officials pretending to deliver messages from Musharraf. Her advocate, Asma Jehangir, was also threatened by a gov’t officiial who called and said “Musharraf has given orders to put this bitch (Asma Jehangir) in her place and (I think the second clause is to drag her nude in public”.

Some gov’t officials are going so far as to say that Mukhtaran made up the whole incident. Yeah, like the whole village saw her dragged naked after being gang raped, and all those witnesses were made-up. :rolleyes:

Pakistan is not a peachy place for ladies even now.

God, some people disgust me!!!

Re: Mukhtaran Mai

Guys I am really confused …
If her name is Mukhtaran, does that mean she is in a Brazilian kind of situation where she goes with 1 name. Is it like Cher, Ronaldo or Pele?
I dont get it. I didnt think that worked 4 Pakistanis.
Similarly could I call myself something like say… Badmash

Re: Mukhtaran Mai

^ wow, did you miss the point.
