Ch Man: Ok tell briefly what was it

Syed Tariq Ali Bokhari: Did you took sample as a random

ME; Sir you are talking about the same research
Syed Tariq Ali Bokhari:Yes
Me: No Sir, we used purposive sampling technique and for educated people they should have been atl graduate. and those primary or illitrate were taken as uneducated. Thus the sample was defined.
Syed Tariq Ali Bokhari: Did you survey the people
Me: Sir, all the subjects were interviewed, their responses recorded and they have been given as it is in this.
Syed Tariq Ali Bokhari:What's your view about situation in FATA?
Me: SIr the problem in Fata has its roots in Afghanistan, and its solution also lies there. govt has done efforts in this regard. with policy shift in US and the establishment of an envoy for Afghanistan & Pakistan ( this was the top news of today's dawnt that a special envoy has been made for) situation will improve insha Allah.

Syed Tariq Ali Bokhari: Dr Qadeer has been confined. SHould that confinement have been there?
Me: Sir, Dr Qadeer is an hero, so when we think at personal level we feel that it should not have been there with our national herobut when it comes to political exigency, there is no harm when Dr Qadeer has certain liberties also.

Syed Tariq Ali Bokhari: What about UNSC expansion and why Pakistan opposes it?
Me: Sir, veto power is a violation of democratic principles and is maintaing the power structure of early 90s.
Syed Tariq Ali Bokhari:Why Pakistan opposes it?
ME: Sir am not clear about it ( uff godf,it was because India wants UNSC member ship) ( when I said sorry, I saw a victorious expression on the face of bukhari sahib as if he had thrashed his fist on the table saying THATS IT SIR. while asking question, he had leaned forward, but now he immediately relaxed to the back of the chair and shifted me to Masood Alam Rizvi Sahib.)

Syed Masood Alam Rizvi: Your pictures here are in scarf but now (he smiled) Is this a step towards modernism?
Me: Sir, I wore scarf even during my university life and like it. but I want to creep into the roots of the society (was to say system) 2ndly when the injunction of purda was there it was because Kafirs used to tease muslim women but now there is a shift scarf has been a taboo, in france there has been a campaign against it.Though i got encouragemetn yet sometimes felt people were hesitant to talk to me that I may be conservative, I do not want to obstruct my self at the sake of fundamentalism or extremism.
