Aamir Liaquat Controversies

Marriage Proposal

Leading Pakistani television actress Fiza Ali told at a private channel Amir offered her marriage. The actress said that when he proposed to me, his wife was also with him. When I went to Karachi, he spoke to me directly on this topic. However, I was worried at the time, so I was ignoring everything.

Criticism on Mehwish Hayat

He criticized the photoshoot of medal-winning actress Mehwish Hayat and shared her photo. Sharing a photo of her, he wrote poetry on the caption. On his post, social media users started criticizing him and calling him a hypocrite.

Issue of Arousing Aggressiveness Against Ahmadis

In 2008, during his Television program, guests of the show criticized  Mirza Ghulam, the Ahmadi Community founder, and said people associated with Ahmadi Community deserve to be murdered. After this program, two Ahmadis were killed, one being a physician, and the other was the leader of his community.

Statement About Failure of Cricketers

In 2010 Aamir remained a part of the news by his statement about the failure of Pakistani cricketers. He stated that the green color shoe sole is why the Pakistani cricket team loses matches as green is a respectful color; it is the color of the tomb’s dome of our Prophet (PBUH). Viewers of the show criticized him for this approach and thoughts.

Leakage of BTS

In 2011 BTS (behind the scenes) of his show were leaked, and he was seen singing the Indian songs, talking about rape in a funny tone, and doing fun with his guest scholars. After the video leakage, he stated that this video is dubbed and fake, and Geo TV has compiled and edited it with the help of synchronization masters.

But the stance of ‘New York Times’ was that he himself had admitted that it was his funnier side.

Handing Over of Children

In 2013 during Ramzan’s show ‘Amaan Ramzan,’ he handed the abandoned or orphaned babies to childless families. He selected parents after a considerable investigation by the Chhipa team.

Advocates of child welfare expressed their views about this act that on-screen handing over children to selected parents can bring problems for children and their families in the future.

Promoting Criticism Against Ahmadis

In 2014 Ahmadis were again criticized in his  TV show by a religious scholar on which Liaquat clapped and appreciated that scholar cursing and using deprecatory language against Ahmadis. After his show, an Ahmadi  Luqman Ahmad from Gujranwala was killed, and it was 2nd time that an Ahmadi got killed after his show.

Disrespectful Comments About Indian Celebrities

In 2020 he created another mega controversy in his show on Bol channel by commenting on deaths of renowned Indian celebrities  Irfan khan and Sridevi. He accused his guest Adnan Siddique in a funny tone that with whom he works, he/she dies.

Adnan Siddique tweeted after the show that he regretted being part of such a show and apologized from his fans and viewers. Aamir also apologized to the audience via a video and stated that it was just a slip of words from the tongue.

Ban by PEMRA

In 2016 PEMRA banned his hosting of Ramadan program ‘Inam Ghar’ as he reenacted suicide of a girl.

In 2017 lawyer and social activist Jibran Nasir complained against him to PEMRA, stating that Amir runs defamatory and malicious campaigns against him. He then made another controversy by claiming the murder of an Indian actor Om Puri for which PEMRA banned him, and his talk show ‘Aise Nahin Chalay Ga’ on Bol channel to stop him from spreading hate.

In 2017 a non- profit organization Amnesty International criticized the Pakistani Government for not stopping Hussain from risking the lives of bloggers, journalists, and social activists and asked Nisar Ali the Pakistani Interior Minister to take steep steps. PEMRA notified him to excuse his audience for his hate speech.

On December 12, 2017, it was declared that he would join 24 News HD, but due to hatred speech assertions on him, PEMRA banned him from all the media platforms. The Supreme Court lifted this ban on February 7, 2018.
