Why are you all blaming the channel. It is a known fact that SMS and calls from accross the border are under scrutiny. With all the cross border terrorism issue which we Indians have been facing. Just day before a blast at Ajmer Shariff and yesterday a blast at Ludiana. Several bomb blasts in mumbai.
It has been years since the SMS and calls from Pakistan and Bangladesh have been routing through Cent. Intelligence Bureau. My father was Gm of VSNL and so I am saying this with confidence. National security is of more importance than some reality contest. With lacs of SMS pouring in, it is difficult to monitor.
So those who are trying to make this sound like a conspiracy theory should go and question the govt of the two nations and ask as to why the SMS and Calls are monitored and restricted. Do not blame the channel as its not in their hands. Just to clarify.
Plus why bring this up only at the time of final. Amanat got to the finals because of the same voting pattern and beat many Indian contestants fair n square so why complaint now? Be sporting and accept the decision. All are great singers and each will make a name for themselves.

If this is the case, the right thing to have been done was to prohibit SMSing in total. But alas and alack, profit > fairness.

People did complain, dear. It does not matter if he beat others; if he lost because of ethnicity--do you see that as being right?

I see why people are complaining, and suspicions exist. People need to learn to accept the fate, but still question it in a calm collective manner.

Besides, what else is left to talk about but this?

its a lesson next time dun waste ur money on such programmes

Just to make it clear to all that the SMS from Pakistan were not stopped overnight, they were not there from start. The reason I have already mentioned above. National security is always above everything else. So Amanat knew that and my point is that when he came upto finals no one said a word. Even then he had no votes from Pakistan but was winning and eliminating others (with so called vote base like Joy/assam & Mauli/gujarat)so why was this not brought up. Why is that when he lost the finals are these allegatios coming up, that only shows how sore loosers some can be. Defeat should be taken in the right spirit coz someone has to win. And the fact is that many many Indians were voting for Amanta and he got 2cr votes from India. So why are you harping on the Pakistan SMS now. Poeple blame the channel which gave him all the name and fame, I will also point out that at the begining this was to be a 2 person FInal (like C2005) but at the very last min it was made a 3 way final and this rule change was to accomodate a great singer like Amanat and give him a chance to further showcase his great abilities. If it was a 2 way final, he would have been out as Aneek & Raja had more votes. After doing all this, the channel gets the Flak ! Ghor Kalyug hai bhai.

You mean if people from there would have been allowed to sms they would have voted only for Amanat....?

no but surley he would have gotten a lot more votes..
anyways the show is over and aneek is the winner so congrats to him.

but i still consider amanat the best singer.. the day raja and aneek turn as versetile as him then only will i consider them as capable as amanat was.

yeah dats right! on news channel ismail darbar is really angry thay why votes from pakistan were not allowed! if they were, amanat would ahve definately WON! bcoz ofcourse one receives more votes from their own state! and then amanat had a WHOLE country! how good it could be!

n then as ID said on star news, 'if they didnt have to count votes from pakistan, why did they call guys from there at the first place? for fame or money??'

i so agree with ismail ji..
