It is a universal truth that nobody is perfect in this world, we all make mistakes. But we, Pakistanis, never believe on this truism. Because ‘ghalti to ghalti hoti hai, chahe choti ho ya bari!’
Yesterday, people on social media went crazy when a news anchor of a private news channel pronounced a word incorrectly. He read ‘Kitabcha’ as ‘Kutta-bacha’ which is obviously equivalent to the blasphemy of Urdu language. While talking about the ‘Kitabcha’ being provided by the US government to US Soldiers to battle against the suicidal thoughts, he read it ‘Kutta-bacha’.
See the complete video here:
As we know that news anchors read news from a teleprompter or an autocue (It is a display device that prompts the person speaking with an electronic visual text of a speech or script) with a perfect and natural reading style. So when the news anchor saw the word ‘Kitabcha’ on the teleprompter, he read it ‘Kutta-bacha’ and he repeated it two times! Yaani Apni Qabar Khud He Khod Li!
Soon after that, the video was all over the social media with fierce criticism!

PTV Wale Din Yaad Agae!
کیا وقت ہوتا تھا پی ٹی وی پر سخت پابندی ہوتی تھی تلفظ اور ادایگی اور خبر پڑھنے والوں کا لہجہ انتہای مصفا اور شفاف ہوا کرتا تھا، اب تو میڈیا پر بحیثیت مجموعی لہجے بگاڑ بگاڑ کے اردو بولنے والے سماعتوں کے لیے کسی بم دھماکے سے کم نہیں

Ghalti Se Mistake Hogai…
Wese mana teleprompter se perh raha hoga, likin banda common sense bhi use kerleta hai, jab pehli bar ghalat kaha uske baad kaha bhi ke kitaabei muhayya ki likin aakhir mein phir Kutta Bacha?
