"AAP KA HAQ" SCALES NEW HEIGHTS
Shekhar Suman on another fact finding mission
'Aap Ka Haq', the path-breaking show which ace showman Shekhar
Suman anchors on JANMAT, India's first views channel, is clearly
on a roll.
Positioned as a show that proactively engages in the problems of
common people, 'Aap ka Haq' walks that extra mile with the victims,
the persecuted, the forgotten and downtrodden and actively seeks
a resolution of their problems with the help of government authorities,
NGOs and the civil services. In short, 'Aap ka Haq' not only listens
to your plight but seeks to alleviate it.
In the past few weeks that JANMAT has been on air, Shekhar Suman
has spearheaded sensitive issues that have had far-reaching political
and social repercussions. Among them are the Indo-Pak POW issue,
the New Delhi Uphaar hall tragedy and the 1984 Delhi Riot victims.
Shekhar has sought active closure on issues that have hung fire
for decades.
"Aap ka Haq' has begun showing VISIBLE results. After the
Delhi Riots episode that went on air on 17th Dec last year, followed
up with Shekhar's personal follow-up with concerned authorities,
the government has released Rs 700 Crores as compensation for Riot
victims in Delhi!! This is an incredible coup for JANMAT.
The episode on police lock-up deaths drew immediate reaction in
the form of a PIL filed today before the Supreme Court by leading
lawyer, KTS Tulsi. Focussing on the specific case of the deaths
of petty thieves Arshad, Meherban and Asif allegedly at the hands
of policemen at Kasana police station, Greater Noida, Shekhar Suman
talked to Jameel Ahmed, Arshad's father. The bodies of the accused
were never found later.
The forthcoming two episodes of "Aap ka Haq' will feature
the plight of Commercial sex workers and Bar girls in Mumbai. Chaired
by leading psychiatrist, Dr Harish Shetty, President of the Bar
Owner's association, Manjit Singh Sethi, Varsha Kale who is President
Bar Girls' Union, Dr IS Gilada, MLA Vivek Patil, and advocates Anjani
Kumar Singh and Wasim Pathan, this promises to be an explosive show.
To be aired at 10.00 p.m. on Saturday, 14th January, this episode
will have real-life accounts of CSWs and bar girls - the problems
they face, the interference and trauma inflicted by pimps and police
alike, and their desperate bid to lead normal existences.
Positioned as India's first Views Channel, JANMAT has brought a
fresh breeze in the country's TV viewing landscape. JANMAT is a
24-hour current affairs channel targeted towards the discerning
Indian audience. JANMAT has an ear to the ground, and allows the
common man to express his grievances for swift redressal.
Don't miss 'Aap ka Haq' on JANMAT.
