Pakistani TV Host Ends Show After Kashmir Criticism
Tabish Hashmi is a popular TV host in Pakistan.
He had a show called "Hasna Mana Hai" that ran for five years.
A few days ago, he posted a video saying the army was violent in Kashmir.
After that, he announced the show was ending.
Some people think the army or the government forced him to stop, while others say he was leaving to work on a new show.
No official reason has been given, but many viewers are worried about the safety of people who speak out in Pakistan.
Tabish Hashmi ended his five‑year comedy talk show after criticizing the Pakistan Army’s actions in Kashmir.
The criticism came in a one‑minute video condemning violence against protesters during the Kashmir protests.
Social media users debate whether the exit was due to political pressure or because Hashmi was set to co‑host "Pakistan Got Talent."
Hashmi thanked viewers in an Instagram post but no official explanation from him or Geo TV has been released.
The incident highlights the perceived risks for Pakistani media personalities who voice opposition to government or military actions.
