A good interview
Atiqa Odho has conducted an interesting interview with former Pakistan Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz. The interview was one of the products of Odho Corporation telecast by GEO news channel of Pakistan on the evening of 10 May 2008. The outcome of the interview can be, in many respects, considered as revealing, lesson bearing, advisory, and an antidote or a response (or both) to the present day criticism of the acts and deeds during his (I mean, PM Aziz) premiership. Aziz was appreciative, in relevant ways, when it comes to matters pertaining to effectiveness of overall leadership of President Pervez Musharraf and his personal commitment towards Pakistan and Pakistanis, among other things. Aziz was found to be polite, articulate, pragmatic and intelligent throughout the interview. The demonstration of a balanced amount of relaxed informality by the interviewer and the interviewee in the session and an excellent handling of questions and answers by both of them during that session added an additional dimension to the programme's (I mean, the interview) overall viewer friendliness and usefulness. Aziz indicated inter alia he would continue to give advice to governments, leaders, institutions and others in pertinent areas as and when he is requested or required (or both) to do so in the days ahead. He reiterated his commitment to Pakistan and Pakistanis in that respect. It was revealed via the interview that Aziz had advised, in the past, relevant leaders of the PPP, the PML (N) and others on pertinent matters.
