Hira Mani praises son for not cheating on his exam, despite encouraging him to

Hira Mani praises son for not cheating on his exam, despite encouraging him to

"I was a little furious with you. You should have cheated, it was an online exam no one would have found out," she wrote.

From cheesy messages on birthdays to long letters on anniversaries, stars often take to social media to publicly express gratitude for their loved ones. Amid all these messages of glowing praise came a rather odd message Hira Mani recently posted for her son — the star praised her child for not cheating on his online exam, despite her encouraging him to do so.

As strange as this sounds, the Do Bol star posted on Instagram to appreciate her little one Ibrahim for making his own decisions and not falling prey to his mother's bad advice. She told him to use unfair means on his exam, since it was online and no one would find out.

"This is for you Ibrahim jo tum ne exam main cheating nahi ki mere kehnay pay bhe nahi ki I am so proud of you [This is for you Ibrahim, that you didn't cheat in your exam despite me telling you to. I am so proud of you]," she wrote.

"Ghusa tou aya tha mujhey tum pay kerlete online exam tha kis ko pata lagta lekin chalo tumhari honesty pay ye appreciation post bunti hai for you for life [I was a little furious at you, you should have cheated, it was an online exam, no one would have found out. But never mind, you deserve an appreciation post for your honesty for life]", she added, alongside the picture of the duo.

Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, students in Pakistan have been undergoing an academic crisis. With schools shut down, online learning encouraged, and external factors such as finances and shoddy electricity supply adding hurdles towards education, the year has been tough.

But it being a tough year is no excuse to encourage children to cheat. It might be better for parents to encourage their children to overcome these hurdles and challenges as best they can.

Cheating may help them pass an exam, but the lasting impacts of dishonesty will be detrimental for the child's personal growth — something we're glad Ibrahim chose to stand up against despite his mother's bad advice.

I suggest that Hira Mani must be investigated and fined monetarily, if not jailed, for advising her son to cheat in examination. She has the guts to very proudly and publicly pronounce that she as mother instead of teaching morality to her son Ibrahim advised him to resort to cheating instead. I have a feeling, I wish I am wrong which I am not, that she being a popular figure will not be touched by our officials but had she been an ordinary woman then she had never ever even dared to be so vocal on cheating and had faced the wrath of law but in my beloved Pakistan there are so many untouchables like Hira who are not never ever touched in any case come what may. It is really very awfully tragic that some of us have stooped so low that their inner moral conscious is absolutely dead that he / she cannot appreciate what is good or what is bad for that matter. I wish my comments are flashed and I will wait to see what action, if any, is taken against Hira. zaidi4merdiplomat@hotmail.com

She shouldn’t be proud of encouraging him to cheat, cheap publicity...

Most of the people in Pakistan are morally and ethically compromised, but only some have the courage to accept it. Many are still delusional that somehow they are on a moral high-ground.

Children are born honest but only trained and forced by circumstance of grooming, to cheat when aged.

@Dr. Salaria, Aamir Ahmad And that is why as a nation we have had problems in developing our country. The base and the foundation is weak and so the is the country full of looters and cheaters and still there are many who want to cheat and insist for online exams.
