    Look at the attitude of Nazir Naji, his is contractor of Mush. I believe, he is the guy if I send him couple of hundered dollars he will write a complete column about me proving me next to Quaid-e-Azam. I do not know why good anchors like Hamid Mir give that importance to this type of cheap people, greatest black sheep among journalists community.

    Hottest or cheapest? Three immature politicians and a very mediocre anchorman. I hate the way H. Mir enjoys the bickering between his guests and plays one guest off against another.

    I have been reading Nazir Naji since 1985. He used to write in Nawa-i-Waqt at that time. It takes some history to understand him.

    Nazir Naji does not have a strong point of view on anything. He is NOT pro ppp. He is pro any ruling party (or party that has potential to come into power soon).
    I remember reading him in 1985 when Naji wrote that he was Ëœmistaken” to have supported Bhutto (this proves that he was pro Bhutto when he was in power). Naji wrote that he thought that socialism is good. But now (in 1985) Zia’s policy has opened his eyes and that Islam is very important for Pakistan’s development. After Musharraf came into power, Naji has written against Zia and Islamisation.

    In 1989, Naji was still with Nawaz and pro Islam. He mentioned a solution for Pakistan’s debts. He wrote that according to reports Iran had offered pakistan $50 billions dollars for nuclear “recipe”. He suggested that Pakistan should pay its debts and strengthen relations with a ‘Muslim brother’ by doing so. When A Q Khan was blamed for this in 2004, Naji wrote that A Q Khan was a criminal and how Musharraf cried when he heard that his hero had done this criminal act.

    Nawaz Sharif’s last speech was written by Nazir Naji. Khawaja Asif wrote a detailed column on Naji’s actions. When Nawaz was in jail, Naji changed his sides again. He became pro Musharraf and pro Chaudharis. According to Hamid Mir in his column, everybody cursed Naji for writing against Nawaz after all those favours thats why Naji turned his guns against Shabaz Sharif only afterwards.

    Naji wrote against Chief Justice as well. you can check archives of Jang to see that.
    Last few years, Naji has written in praise of Chadharis a lot. No wonder Chadharies are known for their ‘hospitality’. When Nawaz was coming back, Naji again wrote in his favour warning Musharraf that if NS is sent back to Jeddah, he will be back soon and then “someone else” i.e. Musharraf will have to retire there.

    When Nawaz Sharif was not successful, Naji found a new partner. He has stopped writing in favour of Chaudharis and focuses on BB and then Zardari. But he is clever enough to keep his options open. During last few years, his columns do not match with each other. He must be cursing politicians for not taking a steady stand and making his articles even more confused, Lols.
    I have so many examples and I feel like compiling his articles and writing a book on Nazir Naji.

    I think system of checks and balances should be promoted in steps rather at once. Our politicians are not used to this system and extremely high expectations will be difficult for them. However, if all partymen from both these parties agreed in the system within their parties then chances are bright since they are fully aware of what will be required and how much time they’ll use for just writing presentations or documents against actually working for betterment of the society.

    Very optimistic to me but time will test it!!!

    May Allah give this leadership courage and ability to make good decisions and to do lots of good work for Pakistan….

    Nazir naji and Saif just know how to say “NA JI .. NA JI”

    I couldn’t resist watching the program a 2nd time. Thoroughly enjoyed the ass kicking. The barrister should have been sitting in the middle.

    Hamid Mir should invite a Mush sycophant loser personality to every show for the next month or so…..Sher Afgan, Naseem Ashraf, Wasi Zafar, Kashmala Tariq, Sheikh Rashid, Malik Qayuum etc. The Pakistan people need to see their asses get kicked for what they have done to the country.

    you hit nail in the head as far as NAJI LOTA is concerned..You are 100% right ,im following his columsn as well and his columns contradict each other ,you dont even need to go back to previous years..this year alone he has switched sides 10 times.
    examples
    1-pmlq is establishment party
    2-people know that pmlq is not responsible for the aata crisis its caretaker…so people will vote for them
    3-ch pervez has done .wonders for punjab
    4-ch pervez has put right candidates for punjab and he will be next pm ,he will get desired majority
    5-NS is a dumb leader
    6-NS is a popular and political leader
    7-Mush has been cruel to every one he is real dictator
    etc etc

    He goes with the changed scenerio and want good terms with with
    rulers……..\\

    Khawaja Saad has probably been arrested most number of times by Musharraf regime and even Bolta Pakistan guys were saying that he was hung upside down and tortured many times by police.

    In one episode of Capital Talk with both Shujaat and Saad, Hamid Mir was complaining to Shujaat that “iss barkhurdaar ko bohat dafa phenteee lagayee aap nay - magar yeh baaz nahee ataa”.

    He is definitely one of the most fearless speaker and a true “sher ka puttar”.

    Sure people will argue Khuaja Saad was rude or whatever but to h*ll with that. Are you all forgetting how rude Saif himselft has been to the guests on every show he has appeared on?.

    Well, the way they were fighting was certainly laughable and I laughed too! But I guess Hamid mir is gone sick for some reasons, I have often noted he sadistically enjoy when his guests start fighting. If there were Talat Hussain, he would have immediately interrupted the guests to maintain the standard of program. I guess he does that probably because of commercial intrests, as such shows provide masala to their channel and newspapers.

    I think GEO should quit the policy of exploiting rifts between two parties.

    @Optimist: A very good account of Naji’s Lota Gardi.

    He was the official speech writer of Nawaz Sharif uptil 99. Hussain nawaz quoted this incidence in one of his interviews that when military officials stormed into PM house , he was sitting with Naji and they were reviewing the speech for prime minister which he was supposed to deliver on the exit of Gen Musharaf. Nazir Naji and Hussain Nawaz were surrounded by a group of men lead by a Major. When Major try to bully them , Naji replied in the same tone. Hussain said that he was very impressed by Naji’s bravery but after sometime he came to know the real story that Naji was already with the army people.

    @Mush Lovers: why dont you accept this harsh reality that time of this SO CALLED SAVIOR is over. For the last 5 years , iss nay 80% majority aur hum sub ka bhot dil jalaya and specially since the last year.

    Ethics Committees are fine but they need to be on the Parialmentary, as well as, Senatorial level and they need to be representative of the ruling, as well as, the opposition parties. Otherwise they will simply be a rubber stamp of the rulers. You cannot have an extra-parlaimentary process to judge the representatives. Internal party review boards are fine to identify incompetent or unscrupulous party members elected or otherwise, but a genuine democratic system for the country must have its roots in the National Assmbly or the Senate or at the provincial level for the states and provinces.

    agree with you on Nazeer ‘Naagi’. He is a black naag. but if you read across the papers you will see that most coloumists in the jang are black sheeps. I believe the biggest one is Irshaad Ahmed haqqaani yet so many wannabe intellectuals love hime just because hes about 80 years old. There are only two or three cloumnists in the Jang that have firm morals.
    Nawaye waqat is probably the only paper that has a clear cut Pakistani agenda. and as you know Geo is a Jang enterprize,

    I know most people will disagree with me on this forum but I have closely studied the western and Asian media for last 10 years and the truth is that Geo is following the same soft policy of its printing parent Jang with its primary focus on money. Geo has collaborated to quite an extent on promoting the medern enlightment agenda of Mush Bush. In my view the most outspoken jurnalist against musharraf in the last 8 years has been Irfaan Siddiqui of Nawaye Waqat.

    Why dont they open a TV channle?

    Nazir Naaji by the way is a communist.

    What I find really distastefull is when Pakistani anchors make thier personal views known. It really is against the Idea of unbiased journalism. Although, my conclusion of the media study is that there is no such thing as unbiased journalism but it just looks good when a journalist pretends not to have a particular agenda.

    I alsodo not agree with the notion that the corporate media is a political watch dog. Most Pakistanies seem to grant Geo too much respect in this matter. The job of a news bradcaster is to represent the simple plain facts to the voter who then draws up a decision regarding the appraisal of the political figures. So, in reality the only watchdog on parliament is the public and Allah Taala being the ultimate one.

    Geo is just another money making corporation
