We are also optimistic about our program’s success as we feel people are fed up with routine talk shows and current affairs programs,” he said. Amir Rana is a renowned security and counter-terrorism expert and writes a weekly column for Dawn. He is also Director Pak Institute for Peace Studies, an independent research institute and think tank in Islamabad.
