00:00It is the beginning of the past, the present and the future, in the name of Mr. Bari, who knows the secrets of the heart very well.
00:09The eyes that see and the ears that hear, send you the greetings of Tariq Aziz.
00:15On 28th April 1936, the family of Tariq Aziz, who was born in Jalandhar, the historical district of British Punjab,
00:22settled in Sahiwal, Mintgumri after 14th August 1937.
00:27We never heard this story from Mr. Tariq Aziz, how the family of young Tariq Aziz was displaced from Jalandhar during the partition of Punjab.
00:36Mr. Tariq Aziz says,
00:47Dr. Mehdi Hassan was also among his classmates during his school education in Sahiwal,
00:52who became famous as a teacher in literature.
00:56According to Dr. Hassan, Tariq Aziz had a lot of qualities.
01:00He was also a good editor, but the shine of the TV deepened those qualities.
01:14After the formation of Pakistan, in the decade of 1950, young Tariq Aziz started his professional life with Radio Pakistan Lahore,
01:23where he got a special experience of reading the news from the radio.
01:27The same experience of the radio and the speech competitions affected young Tariq Aziz.
01:33He remained dominant over his personality till his last breath.
01:36After 1964, he came on TV from the radio and became the first male announcer of PTV.
01:42In 1964, when Pakistan Television started, he was one of the first people to work there.
01:53Tariq Aziz was the first person to be elected President of Pakistan.
01:58Prior to the 1970 elections, Tariq Aziz was the head of the Farmer's Conference in Toba Tek Singh, Punjab, on 23rd March.
02:09According to Fias Bakir, Tariq Aziz was also among the candidates for the post of Matee-ur-Rehman and Meraj Muhammad Khan.
02:18In an interview, Tariq Aziz said that he liked Bhutto because of his progressive thoughts and that's why he was a captive of the People's Party.
02:27Tariq Aziz got to know about the program Nilaam Ghar, which started in 1974 on Pakistan Television.
02:34The way he started the program, the way he looked, the way he listened, the way he greeted Tariq Aziz became very popular.
02:48Prior to Nilaam Ghar, Zia Mohiuddin's show was a hit on PTV.
02:53However, Nilaam Ghar was able to create its own place because of its unique style and Tariq Aziz's talent.
03:01On 5th July 1977, General Zia demolished the national constitution and made Bhutto's elected government run.
03:09From PTV to universities, the land on which Tariq Aziz was elected was taken away.
03:17The era of Khuda Hafiz ended on PTV and it was necessary to say Allah Hafiz.
03:22The order to show women in dupatta and hijab was issued.
03:26However, despite all this, Nilaam Ghar was still running.
03:33Was it the magic of Jalandhar or Tariq Aziz's talent? He never revealed this secret.
03:39In a TV program, when Sohail Wadaish drew his attention to this contradiction, he said that he didn't need Zia-ul-Haq.
03:47In fact, Zia-ul-Haq needed him.
03:49He added that Zia-ul-Haq wrote 10 letters to him, but he didn't answer any of them.
03:58Zia-ul-Haq's influence on Nilaam Ghar was evident and the selection of questions coincided with the demands of the new era.
04:04It is true that many new faces also got a chance to come forward because of Nilaam Ghar.
04:11However, the example of the force with which PTV passed is not found in the history of Pakistan.
04:17This was the era when government TV was in power in Pakistan and Tariq Aziz's parrot used to speak on government TV.
04:25After the death of Zia-ul-Haq, Benazir Bhutto formed the government and PTV shut down Nilaam Ghar.
04:30Now Tariq Aziz, despite being imprisoned by Mian Nawaz Sharif, Nilaam Ghar was re-opened.
04:36This program, which lasted for more than 40 years, was subsequently renamed as Tariq Aziz.
04:43Historian and researcher Aqeel Abbas Jafri, who is from Karachi, writes about his meetings with Tariq Aziz in a letter.
05:01This is from January 1976. It was a Sunday afternoon.
05:06The program of Pakistan Television was Nilaam Ghar's recording.
05:11The program card was obtained after a lot of hard work.
05:14On that day, it was also the first day of Muharram.
05:17The process of electing the candidates for the first stage was still going on, but Tariq Aziz was far away from us.
05:23In the meantime, he asked the question, what was the name of Imam Hussain at the time of his birth?
05:30Someone said Hussain, someone said Shabi.
05:34When even after being asked by 7-8 people, the correct answer was not found, Tariq Aziz announced that only those people should raise their hands who get the correct answer.
05:45In the whole hall, only our hand was raised.
05:48Tariq Aziz reached to us, tearing the pages.
05:51We answered him, Harb.
05:54Tariq Aziz looked at us with surprise and shouted, the answer is correct.
06:01We had been selected for the second stage.
06:04After this, we easily passed the second and third stage and reached the last stage.
06:10Where we had to ask questions for the motorcycle.
06:13Tariq Aziz had 18 questions.
06:16Out of the 13 questions, we got the correct answer.
06:23Tariq Aziz asked us, what is your field?
06:26We answered, Urdu Literature.
06:28Now the series of questions and answers started.
06:31Without any mistake, we won the motorcycle by giving the correct answers to 13 questions.
06:38After this, we met Tariq Aziz in the anniversary program of Nilaam Ghar.
06:43In this first anniversary program, there was a competition between the winners of the biggest prize in the year.
06:49The program of the first anniversary was also in our name.
06:52In the second anniversary program, Manzir Akbar won the car.
06:58In 1981, the producer of Nilaam Ghar, Tajdar Adil and the script editor Mudassir Rizvi invited us to become a part of the research team of Nilaam Ghar.
07:07Now we started meeting Tariq Aziz in Tajdar Adil's room.
07:12It was not possible for Tajdar Adil and Tariq Aziz to be present at one place and not to have a series of poetry.
07:18So we started enjoying their poetry.
07:22After drinking tea from Tariq Aziz's car, if he was in a good mood, he would have told different incidents of his life.
07:29How was he selected for the first publication of Pakistan Television?
07:34How did he face the direct publication of TV cameras?
07:38Humanity, anniversaries and oaths of that time describe the experiences of famous films.
07:44How did he join the Pakistan People's Party?
07:47How did General Sher Ali close the doors of his rizq?
07:51How did he leave the Pakistan People's Party?
07:54We heard all these incidents in those meetings.
07:57Once he started telling that people tell him their problems.
08:00But he is sad that he is not able to help all those people.
08:05He recited a poem.
08:07If someone is helpless, it is sad.
08:10What am I that I can't do anything?
08:14Everyone got angry after listening to the poem.
08:16He asked whose poem it was.
08:18They said it was Sabir Zafar's.
08:20Then Tariq Aziz and Nilaam went to Lahore.
08:32Even after going to Lahore, we had a relationship with this program for some time.
08:37But when the producers of the program changed, our relationship also ended.
08:42In 2011, the Center of Civic Education gave us the Civic Education Award in Islamabad.
08:49We were staying in a private hotel.
08:51In the morning, we met Tariq Aziz who had come to Islamabad for a TV meeting.
08:57We took breakfast and sat on his table.
09:00We smiled and tried to recognize him.
09:02Then he took our name.
09:04I smiled and came to the city.
09:06How much the world changes a person.
09:10The loved ones of our time are not recognized.
09:13I said slowly that there is no value in poetry.
09:16He said I know.
09:18But neither we nor you have lost yet.
09:21Let it remain as a change.
09:23Tariq Aziz worked in films as well as radio and TV.
09:28In his famous films, the birthday, oath of that time and the person who lost are included.
09:33The government of Pakistan gave him the title of President of Tamgha-e-Husn-e-Qalqar in 1992.
09:41Tariq Aziz also tried hard in the field of politics.
09:45When he was a student, he was a supporter of the Pakistan People's Party.
09:50In the elections of 1997, he won the election against the current Prime Minister of Lahore, Imran Khan, on the ticket of Muslim League Noon.
09:59According to him, he got 50,000 votes in those elections, while Imran Khan got 4,000 votes.
10:06In a TV interview, Tariq Aziz became emotional by saying that Lahore is the city
10:11in which Tariq Aziz has no place to live and no food to eat.
10:16And this is the same Lahore that made him a member of the National Assembly.
10:20On the way from the People's Party to the Muslim League Noon, he traveled to the Kaaf League.
10:25But despite this, he kept saying that I like first and last progress.
10:29Radio Pakistan's newscaster, Pakistan Television's first male announcer,
10:34auctioneer, filmmaker, and Punjabi poet,
10:40Tariq Aziz passed away at the age of 84.
10:44In his life, he saw many ups and downs,
10:47that his life was a lesson of fame and compromise.
10:51Tariq Aziz's poems were composed in the name of the story,
10:55while the composition of Punjabi poetry was composed in the name of Hamza Dadduk.
10:59The book of his Punjabi poetry, Hamza Dadduk, has a few messages for you.
11:16Thanks to Aqeel Abbas Jafri and Amir Riaz,
11:19who gave us a deep understanding of Tariq Aziz's life.
11:29Tariq Aziz's poem, Hamza Dadduk
