    ‘Not in favour of Governor Raj’: Faisal Karim Kundi

    Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Faisal Karim Kundi has accused the provincial government of corruption, saying, “I don’t change clothes as much as ministers in KP are being changed.”

    Speaking to journalists at the Peshawar Governor House, Kundi said that it is the provincial government’s responsibility to maintain peace, but the police were on strike.

    While questioning security issues in KP province, he asked, “Where are six billion rupees handed over to the KP government for police?”

    He also said that the provincial government had failed to maintain peace and that no provincial meeting had been held to discuss security issues in KP.

    Responding to provincial-level talks with the Afghanistan government, Kundi clarified that only the federal government has the authority to engage in dialogues with other countries.

    Kareena Kapoor has not had cosmetic surgery and there’s only one reason for it

    Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor has explained why she has not undergone cosmetic surgery to look younger.

    She added, “I spend the best time with my children and husband, cook good food for them, and I also enjoy working out.”

    She further stated, “Age is a part of beauty. It doesn’t mean that a person must always look young or that beauty is only about looking young. You should embrace and enjoy your age.”

    She added, “I am 44 years old, and I don’t think I need any Botox or surgery. My husband finds me just as good and beautiful as I am.”

    She also shared, “Friends tell me that I look beautiful, and I am still getting film offers. I choose films that are appropriate for my age, and I appreciate that.”

    PTI calls off Friday rallies to gather strength for Lahore jalsa

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has cancelled its protests today across the country, to save its strength for the upcoming September 22 Lahore power show.

    The protests were scheduled against the arrests of PTI leaders after the September 8 rally.

    PTI leaders said that the Friday protests were called off at the instructions of founder PTI Imran Khan. The party wanted to gather its strength and mobilise its leaders and workers from across the country.

    Hammad Azhar also tweeted yesterday that the Friday protest has been “postponed” per Khan’s directions, and all focus should be on the Lahore rally.

    PTI spokesman in Punjab, Shaukat Basra, spoke with Dawn News, saying, “Since every peaceful PTI activity has resulted in party leaders and workers’ arrests and registration of FIRs, the party has decided to save its strength and attend the Lahore jalsa with full force and enthusiasm.”

    “The PTI is determined to hold its meeting in Lahore on Sept 22, come what may,” said Basra regarding the issuance of NOC (no objection certificate) by the Lahore administration.

    ‘Murad Saeed wo tota hai jisme dou jaanain phassi hui hain,’ says Faisal Vawda

    Senator Faisal Vawda, known for his sensational political claims and explosive press conferences, while talking on the Aaj News programme, claimed, “Murad Saeed is that parrot that holds two people’s lives – Faiz Hameed and Imran Khan.”

    In a reply to a question, Vawda alleged, “Former ISI Chief Gen (retd) Faiz Hameed will throw Khan under the bus, and Khan will blame Faiz in the coming days.”

    “He [Murad Saeed] has been sandwiched between the two because he’ll get in trouble either way whichever side [Faiz or Khan’s] he chooses,” alleged the former PTI senator.

    Furthermore, Faisal Vawda hinted at a nexus between Gen Faiz and Khan regarding the murder of journalist Arshad Sharif and the PTI’s long march on May 25, 2022.

    Vawda also criticised KP CM Ali Amin Gandapur, saying that he used to say nobody’s father could arrest Imran Khan and now claims the same thing about Khan’s possible military trial.

  • Gen Faiz Hameed gifted luxury car to TTP chief, reveals Azaz Syed

    Gen Faiz Hameed gifted luxury car to TTP chief, reveals Azaz Syed

    Former spymaster General Faiz Hameed gifted a brand new bulletproof car to the Chief of terrorist group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Noor Wali Mehsud, a step taken allegedly to win his confidence amid negotiation.

    Veteran journalist Azaz Syed took to his YouTube show Talk SHOCK to reveal that TTP head Mehsud presented three demands to ex-spymaster Gen Faiz during the tenure of the government led by founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan. One of the demands was to settle forty thousand families, including militants, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

    The second demand was to abolish the merger status of the Federal Administrative Tribal Area (FATA) with KP, while the third demand was to provide TTP with six billion rupees of financial support.

    However, the state resisted the financial demand, expressing concern about the possible use of financial aid against Pakistan in terror activities.

    Azaz further revealed that Gen Faiz urged Mehsud to have friendly relationships with the state of Pakistan, to which Mehsud sarcastically responded, saying that they are not as isolated as Pakistan in terms of cordial relations with border countries.

  • Afghanistan-New Zealand Test washed out without a toss in Noida

    Afghanistan-New Zealand Test washed out without a toss in Noida

    The cricket Test match between Afghanistan and New Zealand, scheduled for Noida, India, has been washed out amid rain and a wet outfield.

    Although the weather was good and the sun was shining on the first two days of the Test match, the outfield was wet, raising questions about the staff’s preparation of the ground. On the remaining three days, both teams could not enter the field as rain continued to pour down.

    On the last day of the match, umpires inspected the ground, but due to the accumulation of water in the ground and the wet outfield, the match ended without a toss.

    In the history of Test cricket since 1890, only seven matches have ended without a single ball being bowled. The last time it happened was in 1998, when a game between India and New Zealand in Dunedin was abandoned due to rain.
