    This a real humourous one. :)

    Baig calls female senator ‘aunty’

    ISLAMABAD: Senator Enver Baig of the Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) caused a storm during Saturday’s Senate session when he referred to Senator Pari Gul Agha of the Pakistan Muslim League (PML) as “aunty”.

    Mr Baig was criticising the PML, saying it had accepted the leadership of a general, in a speech on the two-offices bill when Ms Agha stood on her seat and said: “Enough is enough. We will not bear more insults.” Mr Baig, visibly irritated, looked to Senate Chairman Mohammadmian Somroo and asked him to “tell the aunty to sit down”.

    Upon this, all the women senators stood up on their chairs and started shouting that Mr Baig should apologise to Ms Agha.

    Ms Agha said that she would not listen to another word from Mr Baig. She asked the chairman to tell him to sit down. “They do not take the upper house of parliament seriously,” she said. She asked why Mr Baig called her an aunty when he was also an elderly man.

    Mr Baig withdrew his words and called Ms Agha his “sister”.

    PML-N Senator Sadia Abbasi apologised to women parliamentarians belonging to the treasury on behalf of all the opposition senators on the floor of the house. Earlier, Mr Baig caused a minor uproar when he used the word “lota” (turncoat) in reference to some treasury senators, who felt the word was “unparliamentary”. Mr Baig said that the word was fine because it had been used in the Indian Parliament. He added that it was also used by former Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru. mohammad imran

      I think it's a part of the culture in subcontinent where we try to establish relationship with others. We often start the public address with 'brothers and sisters' instead of 'ladies and gentlemen'. I don't see anyting wrong in calling a senior citizen as aunty or uncle.
      Jhingalala-Jhingalala, Hurr-Hurr!!! :eek:

        Every woman thinks that she has just emerged from the womb.

        Therefore, they would hate to be called aunty.

          Noo nooo its this sexist insult type way he must've said it.

          Like u know, I'm macho, Aunty's supposed to show her, her 'place'.

          He was just being "nice" he could've used to something like "baji" or more formally, behn ji.... actually the proper term would've been "Mohtarma"

                I am going to flash my inter-cultural ignorance here for just a moment, if I may...

                “tell the aunty to sit down”.
                My young-in refers to my sister as "Auntie", as she is her aunt....whats the negative side of this? What is he really meaning? (I just want to be able to tell my sister that my daughter has been calling her names since she could speak!! )


                the word “lota” (turncoat)
                Lota? Turncoat? Help me out here. :)

                  Its a bit different. In the west one refers to their maternal & paternal relatives as aunts and uncles.

                  In SE Asia, we have specific names for maternal & paternal relatives.

                  Mom's Sister = Masi, Moosi,
                  Mom's Brother= Mamma

                  Dad's sister= Bua
                  Dad's brother (Younger) = Chacha
                  Dad's brother (Older) = Taya

                  Mom's Brother in Law= Fufa
                  Mom's Sister in Law= Mammi

                  Dad's brother in Law = Fufar
                  Dad's sister in Law= Chachi

                  We would refer anyone we don't know or next door neighbours etc as aunty & uncle ;)

                  There might be a slightly diff use of these names in Pakistan.
