Momina Mustehsan & Shireen Mazari are in a Twitter feud over #KoKoKorina and its hilarious!
Momina Mustehsan and Ahad Raza Mir have been at the receiving end of a lot of trolls owing to their latest, rather poor, rendition of the hit classic Ko Ko Korina. The song, as soon as it was released, started receiving a lot of flak from admirers of the original song. Even Waheed Murad’s son, Adil Muraad, has apologized to his father’s fan for allowing such a bad remake to be made for his father’s song.

But what is fun, is the Twitter exchange between Human Rights minister Shireen Mazari and the lead singer of the song, Momina Mustehsan.
Earlier in the day, Shireen Mazari commented how the rendition of the song was completely horrible.
Horrendous! Destroyed a great classic – why oh why did Coke Studio allow such a massacre of this classic song? https://t.co/Iq5gfCPYcr

The tweet was answered by Momina Mustehsan, who appeared quite miffed,
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 :) https://t.co/OkYdSE0jCz

Again, Mazari was quick to reply, stating it was her personal opinion and nothing else
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?! https://t.co/io9q0y6nAf

But Momina Mustehsan thought it was outright hate speech and fuel for cyber bullies,
When you hold office, its not about politics or his/her own anymore – it’s about the country at large. You represent all of us now, not just yourself or #PTI. In a time when we’re trying to curb cyber-bullying and hate speech, please don’t fuel it further #SocialResponsibility https://t.co/5cX0Z8OaMl

And Shireen Mazari then had had enough of her nonsense.
R u serious! Liking or disliking a song has nothing to do with anyone or any politics! It's a personal choice. I did not like the song. End of story. https://t.co/7v01spfVZQ

It’s fine to say one doesn’t like a song.However,Ms.Mazari can dish out criticism,but can’t take it.Years ago a gentleman criticized her in a letter to the editor of a newspaper.Because she’d spoken sympathetically about those who’re believed to be behind terrorist attacks in Pakistan.Some say that some of these terrorists wouldn’t have resorted to all this if they hadn’t been wronged,and thus they’re not totally bad.Maybe.When this gent criticized her for defending killers,Ms.Mazari flared up and blasted him in a letter to the editor titled,”Petty”.If u criticize Ms.Mazari’s offering,you’re petty.If she excessively criticizes Momina’s and Ahad’s offering,she’s exercising her right to freedom of speech.Double standards.
