These days it is a good past time to watch TV talk shows after 8 PM every day. There are about 8 channels out of about 80 channels who hold talk shows daily to keep public up to date on current issues. The producers of these channels invite political leaders of different parties to get their partys view points on various burning issues. The respective parties send their representatives to these talk shows to project the partys views on a particular subject. It appears, the criterion of selection of their representatives is anyone who can talk without any rhyme or reason and does not let anyone else speak. Sometimes, it becomes so rowdy that it has jarring effect on the listeners and the anchor person becomes helpless. The talk shows especially where, Sharmila Farooqi, Firdaus Ashiq Awan, Fauzia Wahab, Imtiaz Safdar Warriach, Asma Alamgir and Faisal Raza Abidi are participating, almost end up in complete chaos. The anchor persons where these personalities are invited, are advised to set the rules of the game before hand. One at a time should speak in a dignified manner (like Pervaiz Rashid of PML(N)and Muhammad Afzal Gondal of PPP). There have been cases where some participants used unbearable language as a result the targeted person had to leave the studio. Faisal Raza Abidi may be advised not to get emotional in defending his boss whose past record is well known to every one; even the international media has written about him and now the Wikileaks have also revealed many things about him. If his boss is so innocent, then Mr Abidi should justify his assets and empire building all over the world vis-a-vis his source of income. The details of his assets are available on the inter net.
