Lahore: This was undoubtedly one of the most whacking interviews the viewers had ever seen on Pakistani TV Screens. Shahzeb Khanzada bashing out Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Syed Munawar Hassan in one on one interview aired last night at Express News. The anchor of show ‘To The Point’ Shahzeb Khanzada comes up with too many cunning questions for which JI Chief had no clue or answer.
The very first question Shahzeb asked from Munawwar Hassan was about Taliban and right after this question JI leader started to feel uneasy though he tried to give a comprehensive reply to the crafty question.
Right from the beginning, it began look like they are not having an interview but a clash between two leaders of opposing political parties. Munawwar Hassan looked a bit intolerant while Shahzeb Khanzada looked as bombarding JI’s stances in the past and present.
JI Ameer behaved irresponsibly, giving the impression of immature activist of an intolerant political group; on the other hand, Shahzeb should have sensed the seriousness of the matter and changed the tune to trouble-free mood.
After 24 minutes of exotic interview, anger got the better of Hassan deciding to leave the show in the middle. Shahzeb tried to cool him down but all went in vain and Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami left the show.

Shabbas Munawwar…We need straight forward politicians like him. Look, he is not corrupt therefore does not consider these immature, dummy yellow journalist into accounts.This journalist does’nt know the abc of Taliban ideology who are basically a maslik based deviated army while jamaat Islami is against such masaliks. Munawwar is rightly supporting afghan talibans who represent 75% pukhtoon population. There are only few journalists in Pakistan who are educated,like Talat, Nadeem etc. It will take time, our tv industry is finincially very weak, so it has to get funds from USAID,AUSAID,EU, and specicially these shah zeb type sahafis are from family backgrounds who need a little more exposure. Secondly the compitition for rating, and get foreign trainings are also get easy after such interviews.Thirdly, though i have ideological differences with munawwar, but for those who call him mullah must read his profile first. He is Masters in English Literature, economics,administration. He was a top communist in 50’s leading marxists then he got converted ideologically due to versitile writings of great scholor Modoodi. He opposed india , leading millions of students in East Pakistan. And he is the poorest politician,finanicially, of Pakistan. SO RESPECT HIM AND YOU WILL SUCCEED
