After Minister of Human Rights Shireen Mazari slammed Coke Studio 11’s rendition of iconic song ‘Ko Ko Korina’, singer Momina Mustehsan responded to the criticism on Twitter, according to a local publication. The acclaimed 26-year-old singer took to social media on Monday to retort to the remarks made by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader stating that she had the right to freedom of expression. “Apologies for hurting ur sentiments. It is ur right to judge us & express ur outrage,just like it was our right to exercise our #FreedomOfExpression. As our Minister of #HumanRights, u should appreciate @cokestudio for allowing us to express ourselves, esp if it was horrendous :),” read the Coke Studio sensations’ tweet. Mazari was quick to respond to Momina defending herself saying: “I gave my personal opinion which I am entitled to esp on a non pol issue having to do with music. To each his/her own! And why bring the ministry into it?!” Momina responded clarifying: “I respect that ma’am – I apologized & acknowledge u had every right to judge & express outrage. I was only answering ur question of why coke studio allowed it. And as someone holding office, I’d hope u’d appreciate the allowance of freedom of expression- however bad it turned out” The extended fumed Twitter thread was brought to an end with Mazari concluding: “I did not like the song. End of story.” The execution of the crowd-favorite classic song by Mustehsan alongside actor Ahad Raza Mir became target of extreme censure online including Mazari who had on Sunday, stated on Twitter: “Horrendous! Destroyed a great classic – why oh why did Coke Studio allow such a massacre of this classic song?” Published in Daily Times, October 23rd 2018.
