It was not immediately clear why the show was stopped.
Amir Mateen, the other analyst in the program, argued with Omar Ayub Khan, Federal Minister for Power, Petroleum, and Natural Resources in successive tweets in recent days.
In one of his tweets, Mateen asked the minister "why are you threatening me with my job.”
Both Klasra and Mateen had joined Aap News in May this year from 92 News.
I n case you are unavailable although I doubt your flimsy excuse pl depute Babar Nadeem who was showing off his picture saying this was historic ExxonMobil deal. Why are you running away after threatening me with my job. https://t.co/mg1qfXM5oG
