Senior Pakistani journalist Iqrar-ul-Hassan has officially announced that he quits ARY News. This decision ends his long association of 21 years with the media group. The move marks a major change in his professional journey.
Iqrar-ul-Hassan started his career as a news caster at ARY News. At that time, the channel operated from the UAE. Over the years, he became one of the most recognized faces in Pakistani journalism. His work gained attention across the country.
He rose to fame through his investigative program “Sar-e-Aam.” The show exposed corruption and irregular practices in different sectors. His bold reporting style made him both popular and controversial. Many viewers appreciated his efforts to highlight public issues.
The decision to quits ARY comes after his entry into politics. Iqrar-ul-Hassan recently launched his own political group called Awam Raj Party. This step played a key role in shaping his latest career move. He said he had to choose between journalism and politics.
In his official statement, he described the decision as difficult. He said continuing his media career was not possible alongside political commitments. Therefore, he chose to focus fully on his new political mission. This is why he finally quits ARY after more than two decades.
Iqrar-ul-Hassan has also faced challenges during his career. In 2016, he and his team were arrested during an investigation. The action followed a report exposing security lapses in the Sindh Assembly. The incident brought national attention to his work.
His reporting often included undercover operations. He investigated factories, restaurants, and public institutions. His reports highlighted issues like corruption, bribery, and poor standards. This approach earned both praise and criticism.
Apart from his career, his personal life has also been discussed publicly. He has been married three times over the years. Despite this, his professional work remained his main identity.
With this latest step, Iqrar-ul-Hassan officially quits ARY and begins a new chapter in politics. His decision reflects a shift from media to public leadership.
