A new Low for Ramadan Show Ratings... Aamir Liaquat Hussain gives away Orphaned babies on his show

So i know that TV shows do lots of weird stuff just for their ratings but to go as far as to to give away children in a live TV show.... well someone is making news (and ratings as well) here.

 Aamir Liaquat came to front scene of the showbiz by doing an Islamic program for Geo Network Aalim Online. Propelled by the immense popularity of show Mr. Hussain has been riding the air ever since despite his many controversial aspects. 
         Where last year we saw channels as Hero TV putting on the most controversial presenter for an Islamic show that they could come up with i.e. Veena Malik, the start of Ramazan this year saw a new wave of heated competition between different presenters for show ratings.
         With everyone coming up with newest possible ideas, Aamir Liaquat; in an unprecedented move came up with the brilliant idea of giving away orphans to childless couples as Ramazan gift.


          Immediately, the people are in uproar while Mr. Hussain claims himself to be Santa Claus of Islam. Those in his favor are of the opinion that there is no wrong done if the abandoned children find themselves homes and loving parents.


        The argument might have been just a bit more convincing if the show didn't give away cell phones, lawn dresses, bikes and home appliances to the audience. Really children are not things that you can give away on your show as prizes. No ethical law permits you to dole out innocent souls that way. It is inhumane and seriously when I think I have heard it all.... people do come up with new ways to shock you out of your existence. 
    What I am truly amazed at is the behavior of Chippa Welfare Organisation an NGO which is actually acting as the provider of these abandoned children because where we may blame TV ratings for Aamir Liaquat's antics; I can not come up with any other plausible reason for the NGO 's involvement in the matter than for cheap publicity.


          The matter however brings to light another serious issue, where we see that there are no specified rules or a set procedure for such adoptions and the loop hole has been exploited very well by Aamir Liaquat Hussain in his show. It is now necessary to take effective measures in this regards so as to stop this practice right here once and for all.
