Director Jami Moor says he was sexually-assaulted by a Pakistani media ‘giant’

[Poseidon]

That Pakistani filmmaker, Jami shook the collective Pakistani conscious to the core with his harrowing #MeToo story would be an understatement.

In a society where it is hard enough for a survivor to call out an average gali ka lafanga (street loafer), it is unthinkable for a man to not merely reveal that he was raped but also take-on a rapist who, it is safe to assume, hails from the ranks of Pakistan’s super elites.

While recounting the harrowing account of his rape 13 years ago, Jami did not explicitly name the culprit. However he gave away enough clues for people to start putting two and two together.

Interestingly, while all the leading mainstream media establishments in the country initially put out Jami’s story as breaking news, by afternoon most of them began receding.

A number of publications first took down Jami’s #MeToo story from their websites and social media platforms and then a while later re-posted a toned down version in which all the three major clues, i.e. “media giant,” and references to the rapist’s book and museum launches were either taken out from the headings and narrative or considerably downplayed.

damn this is crazy. this needs to be shared by everyone. this is one topic no one speaks of.

these news channels are bought out, they dont report for the people.

 

[Poseidon]

so no one wants to talk about it on PP ? what if it was a female director instead of male ?

 

[Nostalgic]

It was incredibly brave of him to share this, not just because it involves a person of influence, but also because in our culture, there won’t be any shortage of those questioning his very manhood.

Apparently the culprit was friends with Jami’s late father, whom Jami confided in about the ordeal before he passed away. The culprit nevertheless had the temerity to show up for the funeral.

 

[srh]

who was the rapist?

 

[Rana]

Who was the tycoon?

 

[Nostalgic]

He didn’t name the perpetrator, but speculation suggests it’s the guy in white in the OP.

I’m not sure if we’re allowed to mention the name here. I would suggest a reverse image search. Let’s just say he’s the scion of a distinguished family responsible for one of Pakistan’s premier dailies.

#himtoo movement started just for that purpose, so now its #metoo VS #himtoo. I think society is going downhill, there is no humanity left. There are true accustions and there are false accustions. Who to believe, its complicated. In west most of the lawyers and courts are feminist friendly favour women and in other part of the world lawyers and courts are antifeminist favour men. Conclusion in both parts of world innocent men and women are suffering due to this Mickey mouse circuis created by social activists.

It's not that clear cut when the accuser isn't prepared to name names. When the Harvey Weinstein allegations broke Rose Mcgowan fingered Weistein. Let's see if Jami will do the same in the coming days.

I think he has a gag order as he must have tried to accuse this guy in the past but failed to do so.

 

[Rana]

Heard that this story is also in relation to a Lahore lecturer who committed suicide after falsely being accused by a female for sexual harassment.

So why has this girl who falsely accused the man not been named in the media?

Why the silence in our media specially in english press? Why everyone is protecting the big boss sitting in DAWN while Jami is trying his best to raise this issue regularly in his own capacity.

It took a hell of alot of courage for the guy to come forward and the so called Liberal media have gone silent, why?
Dawn newspaper has been a disgrace, just look at the Ind trolls given priority on the comments section and who was allowed to comment on articles of Cyril Almeida.

They are only exposing their hypocrisy with each passing day paid lifafas hiding under the leftist label.
