Aamir Liaquat apologizes to individuals he may have hurt

ISLAMABAD – Television anchor Aamir Liaquat who quit BOL News Saturday apologized to individuals he targeted in his program Aisay Nahi Chalay Ga.

In a video posted on social media, he said: “I apologize to all those individuals whom I may have hurt during my program.  I hope they will forgive me. What I did was the management’s policy.”

Liaquat announced his decision to quit on Twitter and asked BOL to pay off his dues. “When I tweeted that I had quit BOL, the management issued a press release saying that I was being unprofessional. Professional attitude looks good only in a professional organization. I had told them everything,” he said in his short video message.

“I had returned all the cars to them. I am retaining only one car which I will return when my dues are cleared. I do not want to open a Pandora box. BOL press release is wrong. They should clear all my dues and have their car back.”
