Jewish conspiracies on our TV channelsColumnist Irfan Hussain wrote in daily Aajkal, that with the growth of TV channels we thought our people would be more informed and our society would be changed.

Lyrical columnist Irfan Siddique wrote in daily Nawa-e-Waqt, that ex-prime minister Shaukat Aziz testified that the PMLQ is not a political party, but a group of opportunists.
