Dear Editor,

It would have been more appropriate if the article was included with more data and details in this age of technology. Readers would have loved to see the photo of that girl whose hunchback was surprisingly removed as she was hit by Mastana Baba. In this digital age, author could not produced any picture of Mastana Baba, rather added confusion in the last that there are couple of more Mastana Baba around in Bilehra. He referred to the Eid prayer, Last Eid was Eid Al Adha, almost 8 months back….readers should assume that this incident took place very recently or eight months back?

Poverty stricken Shia community in western UP used to have several Mauzeza every year, so we are to believe that same thing is happening under the tutelage of Barailvi thoughts? I personally know the inside details of few so-called Mauzeza which took place in Jansath in 1980s. This seems to be a part of same FARCE when the author could not provide the name of the girl. It’s a definite doubtful case.

I don’t have any problem with Mastaana Baba or his powers, but the report is not perfect and upto the mark according to any journalistic standard. It would have been more accurate if was supported by more facts and figure which is very easy in this digital world.

I would request the editor to maintain the high journalistic standard on the site in future.

Best Regards
