When a project associated with Ashir name, you know that there would be scenes based on reality and event based motions on screen.

His family background was political but his poetry predominantly focused on Anti-political slogan.

The entire program was run to malign Imran Khan.  To say the least, the bottom line criticism they raised are: 1- Imran Khan hasn’t got any planning. 2- He is using rallies as a tool for achieving suspicious objectives. 3- “No End Game” from him that is out-put or end result. Well, I carefully watched the full-length show, it was on the recent move of imran khan toward accountability.
