SabeTV to air Benazir interview tonight on Line of Fire
It's time for Sabe TV to make some noise. The reason: it is the first amongst the Indian channels to get a one-on-one with ex-Pakistan prime minister Benazir Bhutto, who is on an India visit. And the anchor to manage that coup: Karan Thapar on Line of Fire, which is produced by UTV.
So thrilled is SabeTV about this journalistic coup that it has changed the show's time slot from weekend to tonight at 10:45 PM Today's episode of Kissa Khursi ka (10:45 pm) will be given the go-by.
The show will bring forth Bhutto's views on war torn Afghanistan and her stand on political issues, choices and compulsions that have come to play in the region post 11 September and the war against terror being waged by the coalition.
According to a SabeTV spokesperson the show promises to be interesting with Bhutto crediting herself as being "The Mother of the Taliban". She explains that she was a strict mother to the Talibanis, until the reins were snatched from her hands, after which the Taliban regime went out of Pakistan's control.
She also speaks of the sacrifices she had to make for Pakistan's sake and her desire to lead the country once again.
