Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman, former chairman of Ruwit-e-Hilal Committee and Maulana Bashir Farooqi, head of Sailani Welfare Trust, refused to interview Gharida Farooqi, a female anchor person. It should be noted that both the scholars have played an important role in brokering an agreement between the government and the banned organization.
Gharida Farooqi has expressed her grief and anger in a tweet in this regard. "We invited Mufti Muneeb and Maulana Bashir to come to the program and answer questions. But both religious leaders refused, saying we don't talk to women, we don't give interviews," he said.
The anchor also slammed the agreement reached between the government and the banned group, saying, "God willing, the state has surrendered in the face of such extremism and reached an unilateral agreement."
