LEGENDARY comedian of the Pakistan film industry Safeerullah Siddiqui, popularly known as Lehri, passed away due to a prolonged illness at the age of 83.

The coverage done by the media was not according to his status. His death was reported as an ordinary news item.

On the other hand, if anyone from the showbusiness industry dies on the other side of the border (India), our media would leave no stones unturned to pay rich tribute and run live coverage of their funeral.

The most recent example is of Rajesh Khanna who was given full coverage. Isn’t this hypocrisy?
