Qazi Faez Isa's Supreme Court, The Establishment and Imran Khan - Asad Ali Toor -  

Asad is a great man, under more pressure and threats than he ever admits publicly

I have so much respect for Asad Toor for his honesty and loyalty towards his profession and Pakistan. Anyone can feel the pain he is experiencing due to the current political situation.

Most honest and prominent voice from Pak. The honestly and pain is visible from his voice.. may god bless the gentleman

Huge respect for Asad toor, the way he is trying to portray the true reflection of journalism, and this reflection will put forth the true soul of democracy in Pak and push to prevail morality in society. Hero❤🙏

Planned to watch for 30 minutes and then sleep, but ended up watching the full podcast. The conversation was real and hit home on many levels.

Hats off Asad Toor ❤ I stand by you

For the first time i felt like Shehzad questions were being answered and shehzad was also learning through these discussions. Extremely tough questions on morals asked and extremely simple yet impactful responses. Credits to the guest for staying strong truthful and moral amongst the most difficult times .

What an audacious, outspoken, and principled journalist. God bless Asad Ali Toor.

I have come to respect Asad because of his principled stance. He's a brave young man. May Allah keep him safe from you know who

I used to hate Asad Toor being a PTI voter, but this guy has shown that he has a principled stance rather than being a partisan hack. He has my respect for not abandoning his principled position.

I cant change my path now but If I get chance I will become a Journalist like Asad Toor brave man

बहुत ही बहादुर और ईमानदार ( मेरी जानकारी में) पत्रकार असद तूर साहब को नमन, अभिनंदन। आप पाकिस्तान के सुधार के लिए दीपक की तरह है। बहुत लोगो को आपसे उम्मीद है कि शायद बदलाव लाने की शुरुआत आपको अपने जैसे लोगो को जोडकर मिल सकें। चुनाव परिणाम बता रहे है कि जनता में फौज के खिलाफ बहुत गुस्सा है, बस इसी चिंगारी को आप जैसे लोगो को शोले बनाना है। क्रांति की मशाल🔦 जल जायेगी, और रोशनी फैलेगी।

It broke my heart hearing how much of an impact doing this has had on your personal lives and mental health. Wish you the best. We need you guys more than ever.

Really impressed by Asad ali Toor, we need more voices like his, respect!👏👏👏👏

Exams are looming overhead, yet still watched a full 2-hour podcast. Respect for Asad Ali Toor ❣️

What a strong and principled Man, Asad Ali Toor is. We, the people of Pakistan and lovers of democracy, support you. More power to you Sir. ❤

Asad stays impartial, while Shehzad strongly dislikes PTI leadership and even has more animosity towards PTI workers. The main message in the podcast is that we should support principles, not oppose a political party.

Glad to see Asad Toor answered the question regarding "rationale" and "legality" of PTI election symbol question/narrative, and the alternative judgement that couldve/shouldve been given.

Shahzad and rest of us should learn from asad toor. He told the truth when pti was in govt and he is telling the truth when khan is in jail. These days shahzad is not as unequivocal in standing up for rights of pti supporter and leaders as he was in opposing their past transgressions. As a pti supporter i will not vote for them if they ever went back to pro establishment politics.

Waiting for this! Thanks Pakistan Experience!

Great from Asad Ali Toor. Shehzad initially tried to lead him but Asad was honest his views.

Great show guys!! Can sense the pain in Asad's voice. Principles, ethics, morals, patriotism (nationalism is woke) are rare... Heard a lot of podcasts from a lot of RU-vidrs in Pakistan; but Pak Exp is where i come to as i rely on for the objectivity of the news. Thanks Shehzad; never sell out!!

Isn't it narcissistic? Elevating yourself to the likes of Asad Toor and claiming both are ridiculed for similar reasons at the very beginning? Bro, he's far more informed, reasonable, and accountable. And more so graceful for occasionally self-correcting himself with facts!

The beauty of your podcast is that I despite being a core PTI supporter listen to the contrary views and it opens up the mind and helps to analyze the situation from broader perspective. Shahzad and team, you guys are doing great job in building up consensus between our polarised society. Keep doing the great work.

A vast difference between Asad and Shahzad can be seen. Asad is mature, principled, and flexible, Shahzad babbles a couple of counter-arguments that any sane person knows are nonsense, focuses on parts of Asad's statements, and misses his central point. He does all of this just to act on his contrarian urges. BTW, similar to Asad, Imran Riaz, Sami Ibrahim, etc even though might have been a beneficiary of the old establishment, still cling to their principles. Kudos to Asad, kudos to Imran Riaz, etc.

After being a long time defender of constitution, and then swindling your ideology to the underdogs. Judiciary fails every time in the need of the hour.

Pain in voice describes his honesty.

In the realm of principled journalism, ASAD is unmistakably on a steadfast trajectory. His unwavering commitment to journalistic integrity and ethical reporting sets a commendable example for all. In the pursuit of a principled stance in journalism, ASAD stands as a singular and exemplary figure, demonstrating dedication to truth and ethical standards

Thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. By the by, what I like the most about your podcasts is that how the standup inside you instinctively kicks in to lighten the mood every now and then.

Very few honourable n respected journalist asad toor sb great a ray of hope in this era of darkness

With respect the host in his own words that he isn’t following the current situation closely and then he gives sweeping statements against IK and PTI

One can see honesty in his eyes. My all time favorite Asad Ali Toor brave man ❤

Wow! The meeting of two formidable personalities of Pakistani media was engaging as they discussed Pakistani realities. Both of them practice journalism by "fire"! Asad Tur spoke from the core of his heart and expressed that anyone who missed his explanation (wajahaat) on controversies surrounding him should see this podcast, as he has come out so well. It is common knowledge that he puts in a lot of hard work to bring out his 15-20 minute blog! Shehzad's dedication is also well known as he puts in a lot of research and reading to bring in one podcast. Salute to these young guys! Both of them opened up their hearts, experiences, and total perception on public matters in Pakistan. They talked about the grip of the Establishment, which is holding on to the Pakistani system for the last 75 years. Whatever may be the setup, Fauz is the winner in every circumstance. Sadly, no solution looks to be in sight for this malady. At one point in the podcast, both guys looked dejected or totally disappointed with the outcome of their ideology, hard work, and commitment to journalism for the cause of society, Pakistan. One can only feel sorry for people like Asad Tur and his generation in Pakistan. They are from good, cultured families, fairly educated, and adequately well-read to know what is happening around the world. Above all, they have nice sensitivity for social welfare and national well-being. Unfortunately, they find their country going absolutely in the direction that serves the purpose of very few, Army Generals, or the business community. A large number of people are deprived of basic facilities. But it can't be denied that they inspire youth, sow seeds of hope, and are important lamp posts who may illuminate the other end of the dark tunnel. If such people quit in frustration, it will push Pakistan back by another 75 years.

Your line of guest has been great ❤😊

Love your show, great content learning about pakistan. Young, vibrant, brave and smart. God bless

One thing that has appeared to me as result of these election is that it is a clear indication of public to be endorsing a secular system rather than an Islamic system. IK maybe religious himself but he was not running under sharia implementation. Just my opinion.

Asad is young but the spirit is high. Strong and brave man. Respect

It takes big balls what #ASADTOOR been saying, for last several yrs i been watching.

Pakistan is a real game of thrones in itself.

This is my first introduction to Asad Toor after his arrest and I completely support his stance. More power to you shehzad for getting him on board.

Shehzad you are maturing into an excellent interviewer who deals with many different personalities in a very mature manner. Love your touches of humour when the interviewee is going into their rhetoric and you use it to break them out. Hope you keep learning and growing.

I never agreed with Asad toor when he was always against PTI, but today i can feel his pain for the interference of Army in democracy

Multiple times during the show, did Asad Toor not get your sarcasm or did he choose to ignore you 🙂? Anyhow, it was a nice show. He reminds me of my cousin who would narrate a 2 hour hindi film in 3 hours .. That apart, he seems like an honest man of character. Kudos!!

Half hour into this program- HANDS DOWN ONE OF THR BEST PODCAST! Pti supporter and I just realized like a year or more so ago it’s not about corruption it’s about control! And when I realized that it was so disappointing and disheartening.

Very good discussion between two authentic and well informed people.

Pakistan in this critical phase of its history, needs brave journalists like Asad Ali Toor.

Great Voice of Pakistan! Thank you Asad

An innocent, honest and brave soul. Thank you Shehzad bhai for this podcast. The discussion on Mental Health gave me goosebumps. How traumatising would it have been for all the people of principle. Power to you 💪

Good constructive podcast 👏 Leading to Shahzad's point, I also rethink. Is it all worth it? When you know the whole system is compromised and it's all bogus. Is it really worth taking such a toll? It has only given me dissatisfaction seeing the reality.

this was another great podcast masha ALLAH with an honest journalist , Asad Toor......

Never knew this gem of a person... thanks for bringing him for this podcast

I gave it a like only coz of Asad ali toor, I had misjudgment for him in PTI tenure as I thought he was anti PTI, but if you speak the truth even if it’s against PTI you gain massive respect, for the reference despite trying i couldn’t watch more than 20 min of Talat Hussain, bias vs unbias comes forth very clearly

Honest and genuine journalist I listened ever

PTi,PPP,PMLN,Army no one has clue to solve economic problem. Common man will continue suffering due to inflation.

Always PTI supporter, but never trolled Asad Ali Toor, always seemed great guy to me. Honest to the core.

😢😢😢 Genuine Journalism 💯

Asad is a great journalist of his time. The chronicles of Pakistan have recorded his courage and ability

Great what an honesty and brave person he is, going nose to nose against the power houses.

The name of jurnalism in Pakistan. Asad toor ❤

Assad Toor Sb aap bohat bare insaan hen,I really love to listen u,jb aap ne Qazi Sb k against bolna shroo kia mere lie takleef dah tha, as a Pakistani mujhe analyse krna tha k aap kia or kiyon kah rhe hen. Ur honesty ,impartiality , courage and fortitude is above board.

You tried your absolutely best to prove that Qazi's judgment on Intraparty Election is fair as far as Legal Rules are considered 😆 But Toor bhai nae many lol, you looked quite annoyed. Overall you are extreeemly biased towards PTI.

31:26 Disagree with both of you! The people of Pakistan has never been violated at such scale its not about PTI. Its for the people of Pakistan

Hats off Asad. I am your regular viewer . I haven’t seen someone talking so boldly. keep it up Sir

Much love for asad❤❤. Sorry we didn't understand before what was happening before. Hope we will stand in future also.

I'm really impressed by Asad Ali Toor's views and his adamant emphasis on the prosperity of law and the constitution, as well as his emphatic disregard for the interference of the 'Establishment' in politics

شرارتی کاکا شہزاد جیتے رھو اسد طور اللہ پاک اپکو مزید استقامت عطا فرمائے آمین ۔۔۔

What a enlightening discussion

We need to be having more conversations like these 💯

I had just heard the name of Asad but now I have watched that who is Asad. More power to your voice. Thanks, The Pakistan Experience for calling Asad Ali Toor in your podcast .

Zbrdst Asad bhai

very good podcast. Don’t be disappointed with a few comments. There are thousands who don’t comment but listen.

first podcast of pakistan experience that i have watched fully.

Having followed pretty much every single episode of TPE for at least 6 months, I can say with certainty that, at a psychological level, the last half hour of the podcast made it probably one of most hard hitting TPE episodes - the way it reflected the effects of being a journalist/media personality with integrity in the establishment driven atmosphere of Pakistan was incredibly poignant.

I used to think that Asad Ali is a very biased person , changed my views after watching todays podcast

Hats off❤

I love you so much for your lovely message show people to message ❤

عوام نے سمجھ لیا۔ ووٹ اداروں کے خلاف دیا گیا۔

This anchor just can't get rid of his bias and hatred against IK and PTI.

Respect for u both

What a man he is , his resilience is unmatched ❤, more power to him May he be divinely protected.Wish him all the good

More power to you Asad and Shahzad...keep up the good work of trying to be as independent as possible in journalism.

عمران خان اورنواز شریف ہر گز ایک جیسے نہیں عمران خان کو آزاد خارجہ پالیسی اور اسرائیل کو نہ تسلیم کرنے اور ایک اسلامک پلیٹ فارم بنانے کی کوشش کی سزا دی گئ ہے۔

*asad toor is light version of dr shahid masood*

Was impressed by the purity of this podcast, thank you.

Extremely awaited podcast ❤ Thankyou so much for this podcast.

wow ... i generally dislike his interviews for finding excuses for current establishment actions (while at same time critiquing previous establishments to sound credible).... but this interview was bold!

my respect for Asad Ali tur has gone up 10 fold.. love such people.. another solid podcast shahzad

This deserves million of views probably the best guest you invited

Love you and hates off Asad Toor.

The Best podcast of your RU-vid carer,so honest ,we need people like him ,

1st 30 Minutes Shazad ka mooo band, shazad cha raha tha asad toor Patwariyon wali baat kary. Great Explanation by Asad toor,

Immense respect to you man, the work you do and things you say openly require a lot of guts. You are remarkable. I listen to your podcast regularly, my whole family is a hardcore PTI fan whatever IK say is the word of God and discussing random conspiracy theories over dinner is a norm in our house, so huge props to you who gave an unbiased perspective to people like us. Really hugee respect to you.

Again Shahzad thank you for trying sooo hard to prove that legal reasoning behind Qazi Faiz Isa`s decision was not flawed 😅

Lots of respect for Asad 👍🏻🙏you spoke my heart 😢

Great guest ❤❤

Asad Toor. Ethically robust. As seen in this vlog

Not many people can keep themselves away from personal grudges and stay honest to their profession. I hope shahzad learns something from this interview and this great guy. May Allah protects him from all harm.

Asad Toor has earned my massive respect after this podcast.

Good podcast, but timming matters. You should have released this before the elections.

Salam, amazing talk. Asad Bhai is a legend. His past trauma is so tragic. Especially the door bell situation. I hope he gets help for it. Sounds like PTSD. Some things never fully heal in this world but I hope things get better at least by Allah's Will. JazakAllah kher Shehzad. I hope both you and Asad Bhai find peace. You guys stand on your principles regardless of the pressure and are doing a great job talking about such difficult topics.
