After leaving Nida Yasir’s morning programme on Tuesday, anchor Rabia Anum made a statement in support of those who have experienced domestic abuse. The host, who was already seated before the performance started, made a point to demonstrate her support for the victims of abuse before making an apology when she learned about the remaining attendees.
Actors Fiza Ali and Mohsin Abbas Haider were also invited to the programm.? Anum apologised to Yasir when she learned about the other two visitors and went on to give her explanation for leaving.? Nida, I want to apologise in advance for what I’m going to say.
You know I love you, she continued. I love this group of people and this channel a lot. While we are now discussing mistakes made as children, some mistakes last a lifetime. I don’t want to make any mistakes like that today. Anum made references to Haider’s domestic abuse case, which was brought by his ex-wife Fatima Sohail.
I have taken a very strong stand on a matter that is personal to me, she continued. I was aware that Fiza would be at your presentation today, but I was not made aware of the presence of any additional guests. I’ve spoken out against domestic violence. And I believe that I must comply if even a little effort tomorrow might rescue my kid or my friend.
I don’t want to be a part of this programme because of this, Anum said to Yasir: I am aware that you work for the channel and that you are a very responsible person. But if I endured this performance today, tomorrow I won’t be able to face my friends, my coworkers, or any victims. I’m hoping you can pardon me.
