During Lahore’s visit, Khan will take important decisions related to government formation in Punjab, reports Geo News.
Khan will meet Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi and other personalities.
Earlier this day, Elahi went to Bani Gala where he had a meeting with Khan. The two discussed the formation of the provincial cabinet.

Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah warned that if he is stopped from entering Punjab, it will be the beginning of Governor Raj.
“The summary to impose Governor’s Rule is being drafted, and I — personally — have started work on it,” said Rana while addressing a press conference in Islamabad.
PTI leaders had suggested banning Rana Sanaullah’s entry into Punjab after winning Punjab by-elections.
Rana Sanaullah also said that the political situation has worsened due to the decision of the Supreme Court.
Sanaullah added that after the no-confidence motion against former prime minister Imran Khan was successful, the PML-N proposed moving towards early elections, indicating that the coalition partners did not agree.
He also added that once the general elections are announced, PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif will come back to the country and lead the election campaign.
“But now, the federal government is a government of coalition partners, and this coalition has formed governments in Sindh and Balochistan. The federal government has its own significance,” he said.

During intraday trade today, the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) plunged to a new low versus the US Dollar (USD). It lost Rs3.09 in the interbank market today and depreciated by 1.31 per cent against the USD, closing at Rs236.02.
During today’s open market session, the local currency was quoted at an intraday low of Rs238.5 against the US dollar. The dollar has increased by Rs52.07 against the PKR since the change of government.
It is important to note that the Pakistani rupee has been among the worst-performing currencies in the world, falling more than 30 per cent since the beginning of 2022.
However, the dollar has declined globally as well, reaching a 20-year high against other currencies in part due to anticipation that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates more quickly than the majority of central banks.
In addition, dealers told The News that the local currency was under pressure due to the ongoing political unrest and a lack of dollar liquidity.
The Mumbai Police today arrested a 25-year-old, struggling actor Mavinder Singh for giving death threats to actors Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal.
According to the police, Singh was staying at different places across Santa Cruz in suburban Mumbai over the past three months. He had come to Mumbai from Lucknow to pursue a career in acting. He has studied till class 12, they added.
For his expenses, Singh depended on his family, who used to send him money, the police said.
The struggling actor, who has been stalking the Dhoom 3 star for a few months now, recently shifted to a lodge near Katrina’s home in the metropolis.
On his Instagram bio, Singh wrote he is married to Katrina Kaif. Manvinder Singh would share edited photos and videos with Katrina on social media. He also has edited photos with other actors.
Kaif’s husband Vicky Kaushal filed a police complaint against Singh this morning. The accused was trolling Kaif on social media. In just five hours, the police arrested Singh from Malad. He will be produced in court tomorrow.
Last year her dreamy destination wedding, Kaif posted a photo of the first sweet dish she prepared after her wedding on Instagram. She was holding a small bowl and captioned the image, “mene banaya.”
The picture had a beautiful view in the background. She also added: “Chaunka chardhana,” hinting at a post-wedding ritual.
A few minutes later, her husband and Vicky also took to his Instagram stories and posted a picture with the same sweet dish in his hand with the caption: “Best Halwa ever.”
VicKat started dating in 2019 and they tied the knot on December 9. The private ceremony took place at the Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan’s Sawai Madhopur. The three-day festivities included haldi, sangeet and wedding ceremonies. Around 120 guests were part of the heavily guarded gala that was also attended by filmmaker Kabir Khan, his wife Mini Mathur, actor Neha Dhupia and her husband Angad Bedi, among others.
A few hours after the couple tied the knot on December 9, they took to their respective Instagram accounts and shared several pictures.
On the work front, Katrina’s upcoming films include Tiger 3 and Phone Bhoot. While Vicky is currently working for his upcoming film Govinda Naam Mera, which is slated to be released in June 2022.
The pressure on the Pakistani rupee will “vanish” in a few weeks, according to Finance Minister Miftah Ismail, who also stated that Pakistan is not going to default.
He predicted that dollar inflows into Pakistan will exceed dollar outflows soon, creating a “stable exchange rate”. Additionally, he said that within three months, imports will “organically” decline, and exports will soar as a result of the government’s impending strategic plan.
“It’s no fun going to the world, to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), to the Chinese, to the Saudis, asking for money,” said Miftah Ismail in an interview with Mosharraf Zaidi, CEO of advisory services firm Tabadlab.
According to Miftah, the IMF loan influx will be completed within weeks.
“The only thing is that from August 1 to August 15, the directors of the IMF are on vacation. That’s why the meeting is starting a little later than I’d prefer,” he added.
The finance minister defended the government’s policy of limiting imports to stop the dollar from leaving the country during the discussion. “Nobody is happy with the surgery, but sometimes it’s necessary,” he added.
Without mentioning the country, Miftah stated that Pakistani authorities had requested a “friendly country” to shore up foreign exchange reserves through dollar-denominated deposits but it turned down Islamabad’s request, saying the latter never returned the deposits.
The friendly nation subsequently expressed interest in purchasing shares of publicly traded government-owned companies under a buyback arrangement, giving Islamabad the option — but not the obligation — to repurchase the same ownership at a 5 per cent higher price.
In addition to stating that “there’s not even (a question of) price discovery,” the minister stated that the country “tried to help Pakistan and is giving a great deal”.
=Earlier today, the Pakistani rupee again fell to a record low versus the US dollar. During intraday trading on Wednesday at 1:00pm, the US dollar reached Rs239.
Actor Usama Khan took to his Instagram stories to clarify about his love life after netizens speculated an affair between him and his Aik Sitam Aur costar Anmol Baloch.
The Ishq Jalebi star stated: “My family will never allow me to date anyone. [Those are] my family values, & I have few friends in this industry. “DATE” isn’t a nice word. I’ll [be better] nikkahfied [than] dating anyone. I have never discussed my personal life with any colleague because I don’t want to. I am here to work. Please stop commenting about anyone’s personal life. I am still [surprised]. How can ANY XYZ with zero knowledge comment on anyone’s personal life?”
After Usama and Anmol’s recent interview with a digital magazine, netizens started speculating that the two are real life lovers. Earlier there were strong stories about Usama’s relationship with actress Zainab Shabir.
The two collaborated for the first time on HUM TV’s Sanwari where the sparks flew between them. The dynamic duo went onto work together in an episode Geo’s Dikhawa and ARY’s Mere Apne.
The duo even made their relationship Instagram official by frequent comments on each other’s pictures.
Earlier in 2021, Usama also hinted that he’ll be marrying soon.
Hyundai Nishat, like other automakers, has announced a major hike in costs for the Elantra and Sonata variants as a result of the unstable local currency and increased tax rates.
The updated price for the Hyundai Elantra 2.0 is Rs5,499,000 (including CVT) compared to the old rate of Rs4,998,490 after an increase of Rs500,510. The new price for the Hyundai Elantra 1.6 in Pakistan is Rs5,099,000 (including CVT) compared to the old rate of Rs4,341,9900 after an increase of Rs757,010.
The revised price of the Hyundai Sonata 2.0 is Rs7,899,000 (with CVT) in Pakistan, up Rs830,010 from the previous rate of Rs7,068,990, while the updated price of the Hyundai Sonata 2.5 is Rs5,499,000 (including CVT), down Rs571,510 from the previous rate of Rs7,927,490.
Due to local currency devaluation, logistical expenses, tax rate increases, and overall economic uncertainty in the nation, Pakistan’s auto sector is struggling.
During intraday trade today, the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) lost value against the US Dollar (USD) and fell below the Rs238 mark. The local currency was trading at Rs238.50 in the open market at noon after losing more than Rs5.57 in relation to the dollar.
Major automakers have been compelled by these problems to lower their production goals in Pakistan. While Honda Atlas Cars Limited (HACL) and Kia Lucky Motor Corporation Limited (KLMCL) are switching to single-shift manufacturing schedules, Toyota Indus Motor Company (IMC) has ceased production for an unknown length of time.
The impact of the current economic crisis has reportedly forced Toyota Indus Motor Company (IMC) to halt production in Pakistan.
In accordance with the information, Toyota IMC will reimburse clients who paid deposits for reservations since the business is unable to complete such orders.
Toyota IMC previously cited restrictions on the State Bank of Pakistan’s (SBP) approval of Letter of Credit (LCs) for the import of Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kits as one of the main causes of production interruption, which also resulted in a backlog of orders.
Customers who are unable to wait for delayed deliveries will receive their advance payments back from Toyota IMC, and the company plans to disclose this by the end of the month.
Fans are now speculating as to whether Toyota IMC intends to entirely cease operations in Pakistan in light of the recent situation.
The issue might only last a short while because Toyota IMC will refund customers for purchases they have already placed, but it won’t cancel orders if the client accepts a delayed delivery of the vehicle and is willing to pay an extra amount to cover the exchange rate changes.
Senior journalist Hamid Mir revealed that last year, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) was offered that along to give a tough time to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) with the help of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) after some backdoor meetings.
Speaking on Geo News programme ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Saath’, Hamid Mir said, “The PPP knows the full truth. Last year, the PPP convinced the PML-N to bring a no-confidence motion. This is because last year in September/October, the PPP was contacted. I revealed in your show Shahzeb saab that Asif Ali Zardari was being contacted to leave Pakistan just like Nawaz Sharif left on medical grounds. However, Asif Ali Zardari refused to go abroad. This is where the story started and the PPP has never revealed who conveyed this message. One-on-one meetings were held with the PPP leadership.”
Hamid Mir further revealed that some backchannel contacts were made between the PPP and PTI.
“The PPP was told that it should bring down the PML-N with the help of the PTI. However, the PPP did not take any of this seriously. After this, there were some other developments. They learned that a formula was being formed to adjust PTI in Sindh and similarly the PPP in the federal government, and that election will be held in October 2022. However, an important appointment will take place in April 2022. When the party started probing the suggestions, it realised that this was a long process. During this time Kala Bagh Dam was also to be made, the 18 Amendment would be rolled back, and talks of having a Presidential system too came to the surface and that’s when PPP ki kanpaain tangna shuru hogai. [That’s when the PPP was alarmed].”
گزشتہ برس سے تحریک انصاف اور پیپلزپارٹی کے درمیان کیا معاملات ہوئے اور باہمی تعاون کر کے ن لیگ کے خلاف کیا کیا کرنے کی پیپلزپارٹی کو آفر کی گئی اور پھر کیا ہوا۔جانیئے حامد میر سے
“When the PPP realised this, they decided to contact Nawaz Sharif. Then Shehbaz Sharif saab was involved. And they were informed that before the elections, which were to be held in 0ctober 2022, the plan was to send the PML-N leadership to jail,” said Mir.
“Both the PPP and PML-N never really told anyone that they were bringing in the no-confidence motion against Imran Khan. They kept it a secret.”
