  I personally listened the speech of Moulana Tariq Jamil at PM house to findout the reasons of anger by the media & Feminists. The speech by the Scholar to my understanding was moderate & brilliant.He spoke in such a humble way that no one can have any issue. 1st about the media what he spoke can't be denied by even CNN & BBC but why Pakistani media is too much annoyed is the point to be noticed.

Sitting abroad now she has tweeted another video against the top religious scholar Moulana Tariq Jamil to prove her alliance with the so called anchors who criticised the Scholar according to their sick mindset. In my previous blog I also mentioned going through the speech of Moulana Tariq Jamil at Prime Minister House that there is nothing can be called objectionable by the Scholar. He shared as observed & suggested as analysed in his humble tone while the critics as Imaan & the other Anchors understood according to own mental approach & way of thinking. The Youth of Pakistan condemns all such statements by Imaan & gives the message to the world that Pakistan is a Peaceful country where the Women have ...
