@PalwashaKhan18 a week ago said in a show that Imran khan is like a donkey he has no sense if u put books on a donkey 22 years but a donkey will remain a Donkey. Therefore @ImranRiazKhan show was planted.#BoycottBakeryChannel #GNNMustApologise https://t.co/k25txwd4IM

According to anchor Imran Riaz Khan, no one can stop him from speaking for the rights of Sindh. “no one can stop me, neither Palwasha (politician) nor Bilawal Bhutto Zardari,” the anchor alleged.

One of the users said that such anchors first beg political leaders to come to their shows and insult them to portray themselves as heroes on the screen.
Apart from political leaders, social media users seem to be angry over the case of anchor Imran Riaz Khan and PPP leader Palwasha Khan.
It’s not your bakery shop Mr. @ImranRiazKhan
