In a candid revelation that has stirred conversations across media circles, former Pakistani anchor and investigative journalist Iqrar Ul Hassan Syed recently expressed his regrets regarding his widely acclaimed show, Sar-e-Aam. Appearing on a Daily Pakistan podcast, Hassan, who transitioned into politics by forming the Awam Raaj Tehreek in April 2026, shared his feelings about exposing individuals on national television.
Known for his impactful investigative journalism and his role in popular live transmissions like Shaan-e-Ramzan, Iqrar Ul Hassan carved a niche for himself in Pakistani media. His departure from television and subsequent entry into politics marked a significant shift in his career trajectory. Fans and followers can keep up with his journey through his social media presence, including his official Instagram: Iqrar Ul Hassan.
During the podcast, when directly asked if he would reprise his role in Sar-e-Aam, Hassan unequivocally stated, “No, I am happy that Allah has freed me from this burden.” He elaborated, expressing that he often felt the individuals exposed on the show were not major culprits deserving of such public scrutiny. He pondered whether making a program to highlight bribery or other wrongdoings, and subsequently showcasing it to the entire nation, was truly the right approach. His current state of satisfaction stems from no longer being involved in such programming, acknowledging it as a form of regret. He believes the ‘sins’ of those exposed were not significant enough to warrant the punishment of national television exposure.
