Journalist Arif Hameed Bhatti asked some extremely bizarre and insensitive questions from the daughter of those killed in the Sahiwal 'encounter' and Social Media is 'disgusted'.
Here is the excerpt of Bhatti's insensitive questions and the girl's answers.
To ask such questions to a little girl, who has just lost his parents in the most brutal of ways is extremely uncalled for. It goes against basic human decency and is a grave violation of journalistic ethics and standards.

Bhatti's actions are totally condemnable and he should apologize for his actions because he is just pouring salt in the wounds of a family that is already is a world of pain.

What the hell is this ?

On National TV. (And the camera zooms in to capture the tears)

Bhatti: "So, where were you? Were your travelling with your parents too?"
Rija (victim's daughter): "No"
Bhatti: "Where is your father at this moment?"
Rija: "He has passed away"
Bhatti: "Who killed your father?"
Rija: "I don't know"
