Aftab Iqbal caught reading the establishment’s script on interim setup
Islamabad, July 23 (http://www.pakdestiny.com) Aftab Iqbal did his last Friday show of “Khabarnaak” at the behest of the establishment.
Aftab Iqbal was given the task to speak at length about the importance of interim set up comprising clean people that should stay in power for a long time to ensure good governance and accountability.
“Toeing the establishment’s line Aftab shamelessly spoke in favour of something which is undemocratic, prompting some Geo officials at senior position to look into the matter and report to its owner Mir Shakilur Rehman,” a source in Geo told pakdestiny. Aftab may be quizzed by Geo group for ‘openly’ following the direction of the establishment.
Aftab Iqbal in the show sounded like a supporter of a dictator calling for ‘ruthless’ accountability of the corrupt. In the past ‘accountability’ remained the buzz word during the regimes of dictators.
“Aftab and some other anchors in other channels have been tasked by the establishment to speak in favour of interim step, a solution to the problems Pakistan in today,” he said.
Political circles are of the view that such a propaganda that interim set up comprising clean people should stay for two years or so is unfortunate. “Let democracy give a chance to thrive” a PML-N senator said. – http://www.pakdestiny.com

nothing wrong with the comments,definetly seems like scripted but no doubt they are true.Unless voting rights are allowed for urban population only there is no way good people can enter into the system.
So i agree with Aftab
pakistani media
Truth has a bad reputation of causing nausea and bad digestion to lowly so-called thinkers. Aftab Iqbal is right on target. But there is the lot of intelligentsia in Pakistan who have eyes yet they don’t see and they have ears yet they don’t hear.
Those who have hearts will feel the pain that corruption has inflicted upon the poor nation. Only ‘ruthless accountability’ can bring about the change that we long. Continuity of same faces in government will only increase despair and despondency.
Hats off to Aftab Iqbal for the courage and blunt expression of truth.
