In 1997, he joined Daily Jang as a columnist. All Pakistan Newspapers Society declared him The Best Urdu Columnist of 1997 and 1998.[7] He left Jang[8] and joined Express News in 2006, and has been hosting a political talk show titled Kal Tak since 2008.[3][10][11] Since 2010, he has also been writing English columns for The Express Tribune.[12]

Controversies and criticism

[edit | edit source]

Javed Chaudhry has faced criticism on multiple accounts. In 2012, he was accused of victim blaming, on the basis of his April 1 column in the Urdu newspaper Daily Express. In 2018, in his satirical article, he claimed that Bushra Bibi married Imran Khan, after being directed by the Prophet in a dream. Bushra blatantly rejected this claim.[19][20]

Javed was also criticized for doing nothing, during popular stand-off between Qadir Mandokhail and Firdous Ashiq Awan which led to Awan slapping Mandokhail, on his show.[21] In 2019, he published alleged interview of by-then NAB chairman Javed Iqbal in his column published in Daily Express,[22] which NAB called fake and untrue.[23]
