Summary

ISLAMABAD — A light yet pointed exchange between GTV anchor Gharidah Farooqi and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) representative Advocate Faisal Chaudhry has gone viral on social media. The moment occurred during her talk show “G for Gharidah,” where Farooqi questioned how PTI could reject the proposed 27th Constitutional Amendment without reading or debating it. She asked, “How can you reject it without seeing it?”

Faisal Chaudhry, known for his quick wit, replied, “Just like you are doing advocacy without seeing it.”

The sharp retort drew laughter from some viewers and sparked online debate about the tone of political talk shows. Clips of the exchange quickly circulated across X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and TikTok, with users sharing mixed reactions—some praising Chaudhry’s humor, others calling it disrespectful.

The 27th Amendment, which the government is reportedly preparing to table in Parliament, has already stirred political controversy. The viral moment highlights how Pakistan’s political debates often blur the line between serious policy discussion and witty on-air sparring.
