A Prime-Time Television Show in Pakistan is giving away BABIES in a
desperate bid to win the Ramadan ratings war.
Host Aamir Liaquat Hussain has given two abandoned babies to
childless couples so far during the holy month.
During an episode
last week, Hussain told the studio audience: "This is the beautiful girl
who was thrown on pile of garbage by somebody. See how beautiful and innocent
she is.”
The baby was then
handed over to a childless couple by Muhammad Ramzan Chhipa, who runs the
Chhipa Welfare Association.
The tearful wife
described the child as a “gift of Ramadan” before her husband described their
frustration at not being able to have children.
Husband Riaz-ud-din
said: “These 14 years were full of hardships, people asked to go for second
marriage but I remained patient and also asked my wife to be patient.”
Chhipa said: “We have lots of babies that are just
abandoned, left in the garbage or other dirty places.
“Often we just find
the bodies so our message that we make is to tell people to bring their babies
to us, don’t just leave them.”
He added that the
couples had previously approached his organisation to adopt children but he did
not go into details about the vetting process.
The show has been
dubbed 'the Islamic Price is Right' and is this year's offering from TV channel
Geo News.
