Why Benazir Bhutto Returned | Role of Fake News And Media Manipulation | Ft. Seher Kamran

In this powerful episode of Beyond with Behjat, Senator Seher Kamran joins the conversation for a deep and reflective discussion on some of the most significant turning points in Pakistan’s political and social evolution. The episode revisits the emotional and historic moment when Benazir Bhutto felt the call of her homeland, driven by a sense of duty, responsibility, and connection to the people she represented. What motivated her return, and how did it shape the political landscape that followed?

A key theme of this conversation centers around the abolition of student unions, a policy that many now view as a major setback for democratic engagement on campuses. Seher Kamran reflects on how this decision weakened student leadership, restricted healthy political discourse, and contributed indirectly to the socio-political vacuum that later became fertile ground for extremism.

The episode further explores how policy decisions across decades — often reactive or externally influenced — contributed to the rise of intolerance and polarization. Were these outcomes predictable? Could they have been prevented? And what lessons does today’s generation need to learn?

Another compelling segment examines the role of fake news and media manipulation. As digital spaces expand and information becomes easier to distort, the conversation highlights how media narratives can be shaped to serve specific interests, influence public perception, and silence important voices. Seher Kamran discusses whether media today is driven by genuine journalism or by agendas hidden behind screens and headlines.

This episode connects history, policy, media, and society in a way that encourages viewers to reflect on Pakistan’s past and rethink its future.
