Moulana Tariq Jamil's Speech at PM House & Media Trial

  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. These are those journalists who have trend of remaining anti State & anti Army throughout their career & whoever speaks in the favor of both can't be digested by these so called media representatives. 2nd the Dawn coverage in such words was really strange for me where it  says that the Islamic Scholar spoke against women.

Understanding People Understanding people is a lifelong process where our skill of Recognition improves but sometimes we see it completely failed. Chamberlain was the Prime Minister of England,Halifax was his Foreign Secretary while Mr.Henderson was the British Ambassador in Germany. They all had several meetings with Hitler but still they couldn't read the mind of German Leader & they kept the cabinet backhome telling about the Hopes of Peace. I personally believe it is something the ability of one's understanding of other.Some people learn about others quickly & are called intelligent ones while other take time in analysing the person comes in contact.

Her previous videos against Pakistan Army spread a lot of hatreds & criticism where Pakistani Youth responded her through the social media at large. 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 ...
