Najam Sethi received heavy criticism when he tweeted in praise of Benazir Bhutto on the occasion of her 13th death anniversary and recalled past by critics
In the political history of Pakistan, there have been many politicians who sling mud at each other and later became a party with them. Similarly, some journalists in the industry keep changing their opinions with time such as senior journalist Najam Sethi who has revised his opinion of Benazir Bhutto.
Najam Sethi, came under criticism when he tweeted in praise of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto on the occasion of her 13th death anniversary.
On December 27, he tweeted in her memory on the social networking site Twitter.
What a beautiful inspiring picture of a true heroine of Pakistan! #Benazir https://t.co/cjonXmgu8Y

He also praised PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz for paying tribute to Benazir Bhutto at the Larkana rally.
BB! BB! How we miss you! But hearing @MaryamNSharif in Larkana so passionately applaud your martyrdom in the service of Pakistan gives us hope that the real battle for the soul of Motherland has been renewed.

Criticizing Najam for flipping opinions, senior journalist Rauf Klasra responded to Najam’s tweet and reminded him how he had earlier reprimanded Benazir Bhutto’s government on corruption.
Rauf Klasra also reminded Najam in his tweet how the senior journalist, for years , had written against the Sharif family.
سر جی برسوں آپ نے بینظیر زرداری کرپشن خلاف لکھا۔لغاری نے BB حکومت کرپشن پر توڑی تو آپ وزیر لگ گئے۔شریف خاندان کرپشن پر آپ نے لگاتار لکھا تو آپ کو گھر سے اٹھوا لیا گیا۔ آج آپ نے سب کو کلین چٹ دے دی۔ اب بی بی کو مس کرتے ہیں جس کی حکومت خلاف سازش میں آپ شریک تھے۔کیسے کر لیتے ہیں آپ؟ https://t.co/woMiepJudV

Expressing anger, Rauf Klasra wrote that Najam Sethi, who was involved in the conspiracy against the government of Benazir Bhutto, now misses her and he fails to understand how he can say such things.
In further comments on Najam Sethi’s tweet, users shared various parts of the senior journalist’s past interview in which Najam Sethi said that Benazir Bhutto’s government is involved in corruption and Bibi has been the worst representative of the country.
