Zabt Controversy: Pakistani drama 'Zabt' is in controversy these days. The actors and makers of the show are being trolled a lot. Some viewers have objected to a scene in the show and claimed that Islam has been insulted in it. The clip of this scene is becoming increasingly viral on social media, after which many users have expressed their displeasure. Actually, in the scene, the actress is seen throwing books, in which a picture of Kaaba is written on one of the books.

Controversy has erupted over the book throwing scene itself. It is being said that an Islamic book has been thrown in the scene, which is an insult to Islam. After this controversy, different reactions are coming out on social media regarding the makers and artists of the show.

Why was there an uproar over the seizure scene?

Pakistani drama Jabhi is in the news at the moment. A scene shown in the drama has gone viral on social media, in which actress Sara Ejaz is crying angrily and throwing books on the ground. In such a situation, some spectators noticed that among the books that were thrown, there was also an Islamic book. At the same time, when the book fell on the ground, some verses of the Quran were also written on its pages. Just because of this, the drama is now being accused of blaming Islam.

Has Geo gone too far?
In Episode 20 of Geos drama Zabt, a scene shows a girl throwing an Islamic Studies textbook. The producers could have used any other book for this scene, but they chose a subject that contains references to Allah and the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). #GEO pic.twitter.com/158KjdMFPX

What steps did Jio TV take?

After the controversy escalated and there was continuous discussion about 'Jaabt' on social media, Jio Entertainment removed episode 20 from its official YouTube channel. However, even after this step, people's anger did not subside. Many users are now demanding a public apology from the channel on this matter.

What are people demanding?

Some social and religious groups as well as social media users have demanded the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) to investigate the matter and take necessary action. At the same time, many people say that TV channels and drama makers should be more careful while showing religious themes and symbols, so that such controversies do not arise in future.
