Now that Dharna is over, we should have some sort of Tamgha-e-Chay awards .. couple of threads and opinions pieces are huge contenders for first position .. please nominate
So there is little disagreement over the first position in television anchor category ... No one deserves the Tamgha-e-Chay award more than @HamidMirPAK https://twitter.com/alimdar82/status/1187783472393412608?s=20
@HamidMirPAK Also gets the Tamgha-e-chay award in the best dirty chummi category https://twitter.com/razzblues/status/1194695341930622977?s=20
In the best short twitter convo category the Tamgha-e-Chay award goes to @cyalm and Najam Sethi, audience were basically swept off their feet when Cyril could see no light but Sethi still saw something https://twitter.com/omarshahid_/status/1194716086668812288?s=20
In the Blonde category the undisputed winner of Tamgha-e-Chay is Fahad Bosnia aka @Fahdhusain for his 7km piece on Dharna https://www.dawn.com/news/1514395
The action thriller category, who else could do it better than a Geo naukar .. they all deserve the Tamgha-e-chay but unfortunately we have to choose one here https://twitter.com/AzazSyed/status/1190364506716823554?s=20
This one required proper deliberation purely because of the intellectual stature of people behind this, so after much deliberation the first procedural democracy Tamgha-e-Chay award goes to Aqil Shah for the best original work https://twitter.com/AqilShah_/status/1190330978419593216?s=20
The other Tamagha-e-chay award in the procedural democracy category for sure goes to Umair Javed, the new upcoming talent who has made a recent shift from innocuous writings over social issues to the resistance big boys club https://www.dawn.com/news/1514766/march-of-interests-or-ideas
This hands down is the best in upcoming talent, no question about it, wont be surprised if we see him writing for dawn soon
And now, the English Queen of Dharna commentators, the Alice in wonderland @AmberRShamsi gets the Tamgha-e-Chay award in english medium ghareeda faruqi category for this https://twitter.com/AmberRShamsi/status/1191394792539906048?s=20
Now this here is my favorite of Dharna awards, most people wouldn't dare to offer @hyzaidi any Tamgha-e-Chay purely because of the Altaf bhai element he carries in him but justice must be done to the delusional category https://twitter.com/hyzaidi/status/1181291291054878721?s=20
Ok now you may not believe this, but for the first time we have the 'best free porn activist who supported Fazl ur Rehman category' too ... and the Tamgha-e-chay for this goes to the one and only https://twitter.com/HaroonRiaz/status/1193151512941346816?s=20
This here is the first in the best conversion category, we think that Aima's conversion in the interest of civilian supremacy and women rights was more impressive than a live Zaikir Naik conversion
Of course we also have a horror category for you, this Tamgha-e-Chay for a piece by the freeloader on religious trips, our very own Asma Shirazi, this will send chills down your spine https://www.bbc.com/urdu/pakistan-50051916
And this here is the Tamgha-e-Chay award in the best tweet screen play category, young female journalists can learn so much from @Benazir_Shah 's award winning reporting on Polio to being a muted sitcom queen covering a rabid mullah https://twitter.com/Benazir_Shah/status/1194886342632759296?s=20
Perhaps the most significant piece in Pakistani journalism where you turn a rabid hate spouting Mullah into a Marxist in 500 words, Imtiaz Alam stands out for this piece, a Tamgha-e-Chay for him in the lifetime achievement Marxist category https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/538975-maulana-fazlur-rehman-s-politics
Where there is PTI, there is hate for middle class and when it comes to middle class hate category, none comes close to @zaighamkhan The king in this category of Tamgha-e-Chay who just lost out in the delusional category to hyzaidi https://www.geo.tv/latest/254339-maulana-on-high-octane
This one makes me happy on a personal level, tito has always been like an old annoying uncle on twitter and I am delighted to see Talat Aslam win the Tamgha-e-Chay in the best sidekick category, worked extra hours during Dharna
The category here is short love story, and no one does it better than @GulBukhari She is the queen, last time it was Rana Sana who took her heart away, this time it was Fazlu, this is her territory and Tamgha-e-Chay decision was unanimous here between 12 judges
Resuming the awards with the best documentary category and here the Tamgha-e-Chay goes to Raza Rumi and his puppies at Nayadaur. The documentary addressed deeply disturbing issues like antisemitism and Ahmedi hate in Maulana FazlurRehman's Dharna https://twitter.com/nayadaurpk/status/1186317987449622533?s=19
