The great format change of the show , which is a great way to keep up with the modern time,co-host of the Mahaz Umair Shams, did an excellent job. wajahat s khan ,stay blessed,thankyou for modernizing your show,loved it❤ longlive IMRANKHAN❤

[@kamaranrauf9296]

Bhai amazing. I never thing your programs are too long. They are full of information and humour ❤

[@ZhoraRashid]

Well done Wajat . The whole situation needed a comprehensive analysis. Good! Yes Sameer is a good addition.

[@shakirkhattak7006]

This new idea is superb. Besides your analysis and tag of being ghadar this new idea will give chance to many people who have talent but no platform. You provided a platform to the young people who can better analyze the situations and could be better anchors and analysts then most of the current people on mainstream media. I like what you suggested to Umair at the end to not only hear your response but to pushback and counter questions on your analysis and answers.

[@uzmabaig4249]

Excellent always good job May Allah bless you Aameen ❤❤❤❤

[@babrasaqib1374]

This is a good new change..feedback 1)monologue gets boring much earlier then when two people discussing things 2)If the content is engaging length of the video doesn't matter unless too long.. 3) Your new co host looks and sounds a thorough person know what he is doing and talking..

[@amjadmajid51]

This format is more interesting. Its better this way. Some worthy person asking pertinent questions and you answering . This gives you more space and better variety.

وجاہت بھائی بنوں کا امن مارچ پہلے ایک چوراہے پر طے تھا لیکن جب لاکھوں لوگ نکلے تو مارچ اسٹیڈیم میں شفٹ کیا اور اسٹیڈیم کا راستہ کینٹ سے گزرتا ھے اور امن مارچ پہلے گزر گیا واپسی پر جب امن مارچ گزرا تو ان میں غصہ تھا کس وجہ سے کے ایک سال پہلے حافظ عرفان امام مسجد کو ایجنسیوں نے اٹھایا تھا جس کی ایف آئی آر بھی درج 22جون 23 کو ہوئی اور کینٹ پر حملہ کرنے والے دہشتگردوں میں سال پہلے اٹھائے جانے والا حافظ کو بھی ان دہشتگروں میں مار دیا گیا جس کی وجہ سے امن مارچ کے کچھ لوگوں نے کینٹ پر پتھراؤ کیا جس پر فوجیوں نے اسٹریٹ فائٹرنگ شروع کر دی جس میں امن مارچ میں جانی نقصان ہوا۔۔۔ کینٹ کے پاس کوئی پولیس والا نہیں تھا اور کیوں نہیں تھا یہ کینٹ سے پوچھا جائے

Very important to provide a platform to young people it’s really great idea to motivate the youth and have their voices and concerns to be shared and address. It’s be educational for the youth to engage in international level. Carry on.
