    Rahim Pardesi’s wife ‘almost died’ due to doctor’s negligence

    YouTuber and content creator Rahim Pardesi recently shared that his wife almost died due to a doctor’s negligence at a private hospital. Pardesi said that he made the video to highlight how doctors and big hospitals mistreat patients.

    In a video titled ‘My wife almost died,’ Pardesi and his wife Somia detailed their painful experience of childbirth and how Somia almost died due to doctors negligence.

    The couple revealed that the doctor first kept insisting on Somia to have a Cesarean delivery. When the child was delivered naturally via normal delivery, the doctors left five sponges inside her body.

    Commenting on Pardesi’s video, one social media user commented that “his niece lost her brain” due to the negligence of the same doctor.

    “I am a doc and I don’t understand why some doctors in Pakistan think they are holy cows and they are not accountable to anyone (sic)”, wrote another user.

    On the other hand, some people thought that Pardesi’s video was a character and professional assassination of the doctor.

    “I can understand the discomfort or feelings but it’s clearly a character and professional assassination of a professional,” wrote a social media user.

    Pardesi, who moved to Pakistan from Scotland, a few years back is a well-known comedian, YouTuber and content creator who is famous for his funny videos. He is best known for his character Nasreen.

  • Kissing couple outrages Pakistanis more than rape of minor Christian girl

    Editor’s note: According to reports, the Sunita Masih rape case did not take place and was started on social media. The Current has carried reactions by people to the story. Moreover, according to The Current’s own tally of cases, in the past seven months, more than 350 minors have been allegedly raped as reported in the news.

    On May 25, the news of a couple kissing in a flight that was going from Karachi to Islamabad blew up on social media and people expressed their anger over the public display of affection. The hashtag #airbluekissing is still trending, days later.

    On May 25, the news of Sunita Masih, a 14-year-old Christian girl, who was gang-raped in Faisalabad made it to mainstream and social media. As per details, Sunita was abducted and gang-raped. She was allegedly asked to convert to Islam and upon refusal, she was physically tortured.

    People, divided on social media, are asking why the ‘kissing incident’ is receiving more attention and flak on social media than the news of Sunita who was targeted in the most heinous way.

    “Airline mein PDA couple ke liye Islam jaag gaya tha. Sunita Masih ke lye Islam kyun nahi jaag raha?”, wrote one Twitter user, questioning the hypocrisy of people who are more outraged by PDA than the rape of a minor girl.

    “You don’t have any right to interfere in someone’s privacy,” the couple said to the passengers before leaving the plane.

    Bilal has also lodged a complaint against the Airblue staff for not taking any action against the couple.
