This explosive interview with Zafar Hilaly uncovers a lifetime inside Pakistan’s power corridors. Born into a prestigious family that migrated with Quaid-e-Azam, Hilaly rose from Karachi schools to England’s law halls, then returned to serve Pakistan as a top diplomat and Benazir Bhutto’s trusted advisor.

He speaks with fearless honesty — from the 1971 breakup, Pak-India wars, Afghan jihad, US interference, and Pakistan Army politics, to the Kargil conflict, Taliban era, and Musharraf’s dollar deals.

Hilaly opens up about Pakistan’s foreign relations with China, Iran, the US, and the Arab world, exposes corruption in CPEC, critiques Qamar Bajwa as the most controversial Army Chief, and even praises Imran Khan for refusing US bases.

He reflects on his family’s migration, his marriage to the iconic actress Shamim Hilaly, and his controversial call for 12 provinces and stronger governance—all while confronting the painful reality of why Pakistanis continue to leave.

In short: a bold, brutally honest, and deeply insightful journey through Pakistan’s political and diplomatic history, told by a man who lived it from the inside.
