Statement: Accusations of ethnic discrimination directed at the travel management of the Pakistan International Screen Awards (PISA) by musical group the Baluch Twins.

The management at PISA would foremost like to apologize to the Baluch Twins for the inconvenience they experienced by not being able to attend the PISA’21 show in Dubai on November 5, 2021. The Baluch Twins were one of five esteemed nominees in the Song of the Year category.

In light of the accusations made, PISA would like to elaborate that the circumstances were a result of the cancellation of the flight the Baluch Twins were originally booked on. Twenty-nine PISA guests were on two Lahore to Dubai flights that were cancelled. Despite all efforts, several of those people could not be adjusted on alternate flights and unfortunately, the Baluch Twins were two of them. Covid advisories, the T20 Series and the Expo traffic all contributed to the unfortunate situation.

PISA would like to strongly clarify that the situation was purely logistic and had absolutely nothing to do with racial discrimination, as was accused. The management at PISA respects all of its nominees, including the Baluch Twins, and will continue to acknowledge, celebrate and encourage their undeniable talent.

Masood Alam, creating Cultural Hybridity in Pakistani Music Industry

Masood Alam, a young music producer, composer and lyricist, is creating unique music experiences through his compositions. As Masood Alam explains through his compositions, recognizing songs that we know can happen very quickly, and it happens through a “simultaneous understanding of stacked, synced and layered combinations of sounds (timbres, instruments, melodies, harmonies, rhythms) and sung or rhythmic recitation of lyrics (language and poetic forms, in songs with lyrics or words)”.

Different music genres have different sounds that we associate with them, and contemporary music often mixes these different sounds together in new ways. Certain music genres are also associated with certain cultures, and thus can symbolically represent these cultures. The mixing of these music genres (with one sound that represents a culture, and another sound that evokes another culture) is a popular form of fusion and remix in contemporary culture.


Masood Alam’s core objective is to bring recognition to those upcoming artists who share the same passion and unfathomed love for the Art of Music and believes in the paradigm shift in the music industry of Pakistan. Masood Alam dedicated his entire work of line to creating unique music from pop, rock, Sufism and instrumental. Masood Alam believes in creating a parallel universe that embodies the feel of the character.

The opening season of 123 Check is receiving a tremendous response, the unique show is all set to continue its journey to explore Pakistan’s rich musical landscape. The first season of the PTV show went on air on 27 June 2021 with the focus on showcasing diversity and innovation through thirteen episodes, with 1 producer and over 50 musicians. Staying true to the core idea of a fusion music project, 123 Check will see independent, classical, folk and popular artists combine their creative energies in a rare live performance.


While Masood Alam is the mentor for the musical productions and his compositions have been roped in for this season. 123 Check truly exemplified the melodious symphony of diverse genres of music ranging from famous Pakistani pop rhythms, traditional tunes, modern western, folk and it promises to further amplify this magical experience for music lovers.

Mufti Abdul Qavi is a prominent Islamic Scholar; however, these are the controversies with women that keep him in the limelight. Earlier, it was Qandeel Baloch and now his latest video surfaced with Hareem Shah, a Tiktok Influencer.

Shah shared a video of herself and Qavi on Monday in which she can be seen slapping the cleric. In the video, Qavi is sitting on the bed when out of nowhere, Shah lands a slap on his face because of his ‘vulgar’ remarks.

The video is from a hotel in Karachi which has also been uploaded on Hareem Shah’s Instagram account where she says, ““I will share the reason for slapping Mufti Qavi soon.”

While talking to a media channel, Shah said that the reason she slapped Qavi is that she lost her patience. The scholar engaged in inappropriate conversation with her and a cousin who went there with her.

The Tiktok star also shared that Mufti Qavi shamelessly talked about drugs, alcohol and forbidden sexual relationships.

Shah also claims that they have recording of the whole conversation and public can decide themselves whether or not this slap was justified. She went on to say that she has no regrets of hitting Qavi.

Source: Twitter

In his defence, Mufti Qavi says that this was a sudden slap and he was not expecting this. All this happened when he was drinking tea and these two women entered to slap him and left.

This is too early to comment on this story. All we know is that both the characters have been in news in the past for all the wrong reasons. Moreover, it is better to wait for more details to form an opinion.
