Islamabad: Former President Supreme Court Bar Association Asma Jehangir has refused to sit in a tv talk show with Ansar Abbasi over a row on Islamic clauses in the Constitution of Pakistan.
Asma Jehangir left the talk show (Agenda 360 on CNBC Pakistan) when she was asked a question over her row with Ansar Abbasi, famous investigative journalist and Editor Investigations The News.
Asma left the live talk show stating that she will not sit with Ansar Abbasi as he is a liar and misleads the public.
While talking to Saach.TV Ansar Abbasi told that Asma was intimated before the program that she will be sitting with him, but still she left the show, which was also confirmed by Haider Waheed, anchor of the program, live on the show.
Asma Jahangir, when contacted, said that she wasn’t informed about the participation of Ansar Abbasi before the program.
The row started when Ansar said on another talk show to Asma that Constitution contains Islamic provisions. To which, Asma said that she has read the constitution several times and nowhere in the constitution and if he can find any provision then she will hand over her original degrees to Ansar. Ansar presented the Islamic references in front of Asma and asked her to burn her degrees as she herself said so.
