Tariq Aziz was a true pioneer. As one of my media friends once put it, "everything we can think of, has already been done in Neelam Ghar". #RIP . pic.twitter.com/ihxVwquP0C

Neelam Ghar was my favourite show. It was not only a source of entertainment but also of knowledge.

His voice intonation, command over words was captivating.
He is no more with us. It's a sad day for #Pakistan.#TariqAziz
