Firstly, the show's producer/anchor should be slapped. Why the hell would he invite Ali Azmat for comments on a socio-political issue. For such a topic, invite a right wing scholar (not column writer like Haroon Rashid, Javed Chaudhary etc) and a left wing scholar.
As Ali Azmat is a total nutter and thinks that he's a scholar after reading two wikipedia entries, a bunch of Alex Jones and zeitgeist youtube videos and some blog posts, he thinks that he knows all. The topic is "Have we become conservatives" and he's talking the NWO-Zionist conspiracy bullcrap.
I really feel sorry for Aasim Sajjad Akhtar, a brilliant scholar and the most articulate left wing writer in Pakistan. I really admire his temper, I would have shot myself after hearing Ali Azmat who mentions Operation Blue Tulsi - a chain mail that started five six years back. Man, he's an idiot.
Some of you might say that my or anybody else's criticism is invalid for he has freedom of speech, but I'm not saying that he shouldn't be allowed, I'm saying that he's talking crap. And crap deserves to be labeled crap and talking crap on television deserves criticism. Bringing a paper and a pen to scratch on it does not make it look like you're participating in a real debate. I really like your music (except the last album which was mostly crap), do what you are good at. Don't pollute your peanut sized brain with geo-politics.
Here's my friend's rant. I know it's over the top, extremely rude but it deserves a mention:-

Oh, Ali Azmat

Raise your hand if you loved Junoon. You know the band that made great music, sometimes borrowing Sufi poetry for lyrics? Weren’t they good?
Now raise your hand if you liked Ali Azmat. He of the long curly locks and exemplary vocals. Wasn’t he good?
Now, raise your hand if you ever wanted a member from a music group, known more for his hair than his brain to ever dabble in political analysis? No? Right.
Unfortunately, for all involved, Ali Azmat has decided that a cursory glance at the Bilderberg Group’s Wikipedia entry is reason enough for him to pontificate endlessly. The crazy he spouts makes the Jamaat-e-Islami look like the world’s greatest logicians and makes me want to watch hours of Hamid Mir to remove its memory.
Ali Azmat, please shut the **** up.
We know, we know. You’re tight with Zaid Hamid. He’s brilliant right? The greatest mind of our times in Pakistan? Unveiling endless covert threats to Pakistan on the basis of his thorough review of The Arrivals and Zeitgeist documentaries on YouTube, Zaid Hamid is indeed a legend. Perched atop a mountain of bullshit so high it makes cows everywhere blush for their digestive shortcomings, Zaid Hamid is a legend. I’m glad that his cynical plan of self promotion is working so well, since you are the highest profile dropping on which Zaid Hamid rests his behind.
So, Ali Azmat, please shut the **** up.
Really, Ali Azmat, seeing you on that Dawn News show with Aasim Sajjad was painful. You are inexplicably stupid. You make Imran Khan look like a neuroscientist and George W. Bush could probably run circles around in the SAT’s critical reading portion. To illustrate, allow me to reproduce a conversation you had:
Ali Azmat: “My areas of expertise – on which I’ve done a lot of research (read: have watched many YouTube videos on) – are the New World Order, Military Complex, Bilderberg Group, UN (WTF?). And I always keep an eye out for these things.”
Aasim Sajjad: “So you’re against the Military Complex? Even though you support military intervention in Pakistan? Don’t you think they have a massive complex?”
Ali Azmat: “WOULD YOU RATHER VOTE FOR THE INDIAN ARMY OR THE PAKISTAN ARMY?”
Me: Ali Azmat, please shut the **** up.
Ali Azmat, you are not a political analyst. You shoud not be a political analyst. In fact, you make all the idiots in Pakistan, who decide one fine day that they are political / constitutional / defence / culture analysts, look really really good.
You can barely string an argument together without looking like the veins in your neck are about to pop out. You can’t answer a simple question because you want everyone to know that you know about the New World Order. You really, really, want to hate on democracy by using Musharraf (FFS!) as your counterpoint. You want people to believe that you have something valid to say when Zaid Hamid says the same ****, says it better, and honestly is far more entertaining than you are now.
Most insulting of all though, you want to claim that having grown up with a Suzuki car and one air conditioner in your house makes your representative of Pakistan’s poor. Ali Azmat, more than 30% of Pakistan’s people live below the poverty line. Your Suzuki and one air conditioner would be positively decadent for them.
So, Ali Azmat, please, please, shut the **** up.
