Jamia Faridia students to take revenge from PTV anchor

ISLAMABAD: Students of Jamia Faridia on Friday announced that they would take revenge from PTVÂ’s anchor Anwarul Hassan for insulting Lal Masjid chief cleric Maulana Abdul Aziz by taking his interview in a burqa.

“We will take revenge from Hassan who in an insulting way interviewed Maulana Abdul Aziz. We know him and his family very well and we will not let him go easily,” said a furious student while addressing people inside the Lal Masjid during Juma prayer.

Aziz wearing a burqa was arrested on July 5, two days after the launching of ‘Operation Silence.’ The PTV telecasted Aziz’s interview on July 7.

The student said that the PTV insulted Islam and the chief cleric by telecasting his interview. During his address other students chanted slogans against the government.
