The Jhooti star Yasir Hussain stated on Naumaan Ijaz’s show G Sarkar that Turkish industry’s canvas is not bigger than Pakistan’s and cited the example of Esra Bilgic that now she has 6 Million followers on Instagram but before Ertugrul’s broadcast in Pakistan, she had one million followers.
He added that Pakistanis followed her and made her bigger, Ayeza Khan has ten times more followers than her.
Ever since Yasir Hussain likened Turkish dramas to ‘landay k kapray‘, the actor has been at the receiving end of trolling by fans of Diriliş: Ertuğrul. Cyber trolls even edited Yasir’s bio on Google and listed Esra as his parent.
Yasir has often found himself at the receiving end of flak with his comments on Turkish actors and dramas. When Diriliş: Ertuğrul initially aired in April 2020, the actor had likened Turkish dramas to ‘landay k kapray’.
“Landy k kapray aur Turkey k dramay, dono hee local industry ko tabah kardein gay,” the actor had said.
Later, the actor was reported to have likened Turkish actors to ‘kachra‘ (garbage). According to details, Yasir while sharing a picture of ‘Pakistani Turgut and Pakistani Ertuğrul’ had commented: “Inko koi nahi poochega (no one will give them any attention). Kyunke ghar ki murgi daal barabar or bahar ka kachra bhi maal barabar,” insinuating that Pakistanis do not appreciate local talent enough.
He was also very critical of QMobile for appointing Esra as their brand ambassador.
“Apko nahi lagta k Pakistan brand ki brand ambassador bhi Pakistani honi chahiye? Na Indian na Turkish? Pakistan Zindabad (Don’t you think Pakistani brands should have Pakistani brand ambassadors? Neither Turkish nor Indian),” the actor had written on social media.
Earlier, Yasir responded to a netizen who asked him if he wants to increase his followers on Instagram and stated that he should ask this to Pakistani leading ladies, Mahira Khan and Ayeza Khan. Yasir believes that they are in a race to garner maximum followers.
Chief Justice of Islamabad High Court (IHC), Athar Minallah has observed that former chief judge Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) Rana Shamim and journalists appeared to have committed contempt of court.
The journalists include editor-in-Chief of the Jang Media Group Mir Shakeel-ur-Rehman, and senior journalists Ansar Abbasi and Aamir Ghauri in connection with a news report about an affidavit that accused former Chief Justice (CJ) of Pakistan Saqib Nisar of trying to delay the release from prison of former Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz.
The court said the news report [in The News] was published without taking reasonable care.
Additionally, the IHC also appointed Attorney General (AG) for Pakistan Khalid Javed as the prosecutor in the case, reports Dawn.
Editor Aamer Ghauri and reporter Ansar Abbasi argued that they had published the news report in the public interest. In reply, the order stated that freedom of expression did not apply to the cases pending in the courts.
“It appears that the reporter had not sought any legal advice regarding the status of a copy of a leaked document in the form of an affidavit,” said the order.
However, Shamim and others have been asked to appear in court on January 7 for prosecution in the contempt of court case.

Referring to his life as ‘great’, Azfar revealed, “I keep my personal life private because of the trolling and stuff. I don’t want to subject my family to it.”

The Prime Minister’s Inspection Commission (PMIC) has completed about 80 per cent of the fact-finding inquiry into the Pandora Papers revelations regarding offshore companies, money laundering, and tax evasion by bigwigs, and (in response to its queries) received replies from almost all public office-holders, bureaucrats and generals whose names have appeared in the papers, reports Dawn.
“Soon after the leak, the PMIC was tasked with the fact-finding inquiry and the commission sent a pro forma carrying some queries to a majority of 240 persons, except a few whose names have not been verified so far. The PMIC engaged relevant institutions and has so far managed to complete 80 per cent inquiry,”
The PMIC will meet its deadline for completing the first phase of the inquiry against 240 people by the end of this month (Jan 2022). The commission will further proceed on new names to be shared by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
The commission believes that not all 240 accused would have committed money laundering and tax evasion as opening firms abroad and placing assets there was not a crime unless they were involved in money laundering and violating tax laws.
Pandora Papers was made public on Oct 3, 2021. The Pandora Papers are based on documents leaked to the ICIJ which expose offshore dealings by kings, presidents, and prime ministers of more than 50 countries.
According to the ICIJ, Pandora Papers contain names of more than 700 Pakistanis who secretly own or have owned an array of companies and trusts holding millions of dollars in the offshore jurisdiction.
