    Indecency of this discussiona and the way it ended aside, this is true feeling each other hold for one another. We are very much divided.

    The Imran Khan is supporting Talibans and that is truly a 180 degree shift in right wing politics. Left wing also shifted from its progressive, anti-imperialist policies to one that is more of the same.

    From what I can tell from the video, the show is called “THE PULSE”, the Ghunda type on the left from the PPP (hear him shouting “saaley, oye” at the end, is some “Jatoi” and the one from Imran Khan’s party who throws the glass after the tou-tou-mein-mein is Naeem ul Haque from PTI who is often a shouting guy on second rate TV shows.

    The title is very appropriate. Shameful behaviour all around, including that of the media. These talkshows repeatedly invite these people and instigate/encourage such tamashas instead of trying to have meaningful and constructive discussions. Even the best of the talkshows have the same guests and topics over and over again instead of inviting some new people who can bring some fresh air.

    Btw, can someone give the names of the talk show and the fighting guests in this clip?

    Really funny, in a really sad sort of way.

    Guy in the middle makes me think of Adil Najam and Owais Mughal – trying to keep sanity and decency when surrounded by people screaming insanities and inanities, by imbiciles and immatures.
