We witnessed a change in the perception of Pakistanis when the public figures decided to step up in order to help Muslims in Burma. Namely, Amir Liaquat, Iqrar ul Hassan, and Waqar Zaka showed that they are visiting the effect areas and will try their best to save as many families as possible.
For Amir Liaquat, the entire fiasco went down when he was arrested and wasn’t allowed to enter the country. Speculations rose that Amir didn’t go to rescue the Rohingya Muslims and all of this was a publicity stunt.
Both, Waqar Zaka and Iqrar Ul Hassan Showed on Social Media that they Made Efforts in Saving the Rohingya Muslims
Iqrar showed his reporting on local news channel ARY, whereas Zaka does it on social media, without any channel affiliation.

Under this tweet, a user posted that Zaka is posting misleading news regarding Iqrar’s efforts. This is what the journalist posted as a reply:
I respect him and won't respond 🙂 jo bhi hai he's my senior @ZakaWaqar I pray he could do the maximum for humanity
— Iqrar ul Hassan Syed (@iqrarulhassan) September 16, 2017
And then Waqar Responded, Clarifying his Words
U took me wrong bro. I appreciate that u follow my good deeds,request is help practically not just reporting.
— Waqar Zaka (@ZakaWaqar) September 16, 2017
Iqrar Mentioned that he Contacted Zaka for Joint Efforts, but Zaka didn’t Respond
Yes I am hurt, I was in Pyay (near Rakhine) and sent you a voice note that if I can be of any help plz let me know, wasn't expecting this 🙂 pic.twitter.com/a8y02mqu6t

Zaka then Stated that if Iqrar Would be Kind Enough to Play the Videos he Recorded in Burma
Chalein, abi jis tarah help kar k mei ney families ko Maungdow sey Bangladesh le kar aye woh footage ap ko deta hoon, play kardena ap ok?
— Waqar Zaka (@ZakaWaqar) September 16, 2017
To which Iqrar Mentioned that all of this was Done as Good Deeds in the Eyes of God, which Definitely Contradicts as Iqrar aired his Experience in Burma
Help footage play kerwanay k liay nahi hoti hazoor … Allah aap ki mehnat ko qabool keray
— Iqrar ul Hassan Syed (@iqrarulhassan) September 16, 2017
I was seriously happy that mera elwa koi aur bi geay but as I saw ur episode it was just u entering hotel and suspense for no reason. sad
— Waqar Zaka (@ZakaWaqar) September 16, 2017
It was just first part… I told how I entered yangon which you couldn't. And I was concerned about you.
— Iqrar ul Hassan Syed (@iqrarulhassan) September 16, 2017
Zaka Continued Schooling Iqrar and Went on Saying that He was Funded by ARY
Enough of reporting, start helping.U followed my formula of XPOSED but now its time to help ppl not just making episodes bro.
— Waqar Zaka (@ZakaWaqar) September 16, 2017
OK, he is in Karachi. He only made episodes, having ARY backup never reached Rakhine state. I am in Maungadow, taking out families.
— Waqar Zaka (@ZakaWaqar) September 16, 2017
To which Iqrar said that this was All Done from His Pocket
Just FYI I bought my ticket on my own, paid for accommodation and everything from my pocket. If you say I'll share every detail via DM. 🙂
— Iqrar ul Hassan Syed (@iqrarulhassan) September 16, 2017
There were Taunts and Taunts, Both Needing Statements to Prove their Efforts
Rakhine state janey k liya simple domestic AIR TICKET hota hai bhai, yeh road trip karna kider sey aye geay?
— Waqar Zaka (@ZakaWaqar) September 16, 2017
kyun k sirf ARY ka Episode bana hai, Humanity k liya kuch bi nahie LOL
— Waqar Zaka (@ZakaWaqar) September 16, 2017
I accept… you are a great humanitarian than any of us. Main dua-go hon k Khuda aap ko aur ziada himmat day. What I did will be onair soon
— Iqrar ul Hassan Syed (@iqrarulhassan) September 16, 2017
Jis immigration nay aap ko Yangon main dalkhil nahi honay dia Wo aap ko Thandwe ya Sittwe ki flight lainay daiti ???
— Iqrar ul Hassan Syed (@iqrarulhassan) September 16, 2017
Zaka Ended the Fiasco on a Good Note
Acha sub ki bohat entertainment hogi hai humari conversation sey, miltey inshallah. ALLAH AP KO Aur bara superstar baney.
— Waqar Zaka (@ZakaWaqar) September 16, 2017
Hahaha yes !! Bahar haal aap jahan bhi hain apna khayal rakhain, aur ziada say ziada logon ki zindgiyan behter ker k wapas aain. Good luck ?
— Iqrar ul Hassan Syed (@iqrarulhassan) September 16, 2017
This entire issue, the fight on social media did not make much sense as this was just the matter of egos clashing. Both anchors were focused more on proving their own point, rather than showing how they need to serve the humanity.
Regardless of what happens, both Iqrar ul Hassan and Waqar Zaka deserve recognition for their efforts!
