Senator Faisal Vawda has tendered an unconditional apology to the Supreme Court on Wednesday in a contempt case.
In his reply to the show cause notice issued by the Supreme Court, Vawda said, “In light of Islamic teachings, I apologise sincerely and unconditionally [and] leave myself at the mercy of the court.”
Last month, the Supreme Court took suo-moto notice of the senator’s critical press conference against judges of the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
“Stop targeting the institutions, enough is enough. If there is any interference by institutions, then provide evidence and we will stand together [against it] […] give evidence and we will stand beside you,” exclaimed the Senator in the presser, addressing IHC judges.
Vawda was referring to the infamous letter written by six Islamabad High Court (IHC) judges to the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) alleging blatant interference of spy agencies in judicial affairs.
The court had also issued a show-cause notice to Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) Deputy Convener Mustafa Kamal.
During the last hearing on June 5, the court rejected Kamal’s request to accept his apology in the contempt suo motu case, whereas Vawda had refused to apologise for his remarks against judges altogether.

With the much-anticipated release of five Pakistani films, which included ‘Umro Ayyar: A New Beginning’ and ‘Bhediya’, there was an overwhelming feeling of excitement and expectation throughout the movie industry. The following films were released to excited audiences, but ‘Manju Maria’ unfortunately had a setback with the Censor Board.
Leading the charge, ‘Umro Ayyar’ dominated the box office, marking a promising start to the Eid weekend for local filmmakers and actors.
Umro Ayyar: A New Beginning ‘Umro Ayyar: Ayyar: A New Beginning’ topped the box office over the Eid holidays.Box office experts estimate that during a period of seven days, the movie earned over eight crore rupess. After exceeding the lifetime sales of ‘Money Back Guarantee’ (2023), the Usman Mukhtar film is anticipated to earn more over the next few weeks.
‘Abhi’ & ‘Na Baligh Afraad’
The official pages of ‘Abhi’ and ‘Na Baligh Afraad’ have posted their collections. The Kubra Khan and Goher Mumtaz starrer ‘Abhi’ has collected 4.2 crore PKR while Nabeel Qureshi and Fizza Ali Meerza’s film ‘Na Baligh Afraad’ has collected 3 crore PKR over the seven days period.
Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has accused India of ball-tampering during the Super Eight match against Australia.
During a talk show on Samaa News on Monday, Inzamam said, “Arshdeep Singh was getting reverse swing in the 15th over. It doesn’t make sense to me because he doesn’t have the pace and bowling action that Bumrah has. I think the ball was being tampered with before the 15th over.”
Sitting with Inzamam on the talk show, former Test cricketer Salim Malik agreed with the allegations. “Such allegations if proven, could tarnish the integrity of the game. This is a serious matter that needs a thorough investigation. The ICC should not allow these things to slip under its radar,” he remarked.
Inzamam urged the ICC to open its eyes and investigate the alleged misconduct. He expressed dismay at the lack of vigilance on the part of cricket’s governing body, stressing the need for strict scrutiny and fairness in the game.
Australian cricket team captain Mitchel Marsh has said that Gulbudin Naib’s injury was very funny. “I have never seen such a funny thing on the cricket field before. I had tears in my eyes from laughing,” he said.
He went on to state that ultimately, it didn’t affect the game. “We can laugh about the injury, and it was amazing. There were many twists in the match. We wanted to play more in the tournament.”
On the defeat against Afghanistan, he said, “Some things are out of your hands, and we have ourselves to blame. We were shocked when the last wicket fell.”
What is the matter of ‘Fake Injury’?
In pursuit of Afghanistan’s target of 116 runs, during Bangladesh’s innings, the Afghan team took the sixth and seventh wickets at the score of 80 of the Bengal team in the 11th over.
In the next over, when the Bangladesh team was just two runs behind the DLS method score, Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott signaled to his players to slow down the match so the rain would stop. In this case, the Bengal team was behind the score across the DLS method.
After Jonathan Trott signaled to the team, Afghanistan fielder Gulbudin Naib, standing at slip in the 12th over, lay down on the ground, indicating severe pain in his leg. Team members then called for help from the support staff and took him off the field.
The match was stopped during this time. As soon as Gulbudin was taken off the field, it started raining, and the pitch was covered, but the rain did not last long, and the match resumed.
As soon as the match started, after a few moments, surprisingly, Gulbdin, who was not able to walk some time ago, also returned to the field, bowled the 15th over of the match, and took the wicket.
However, Afghanistan then qualified for the T20 World Cup semi-finals by defeating Bangladesh by eight runs.
Fans called Gulbudin Naib’s injury fake. According to (ICC), it is an offence to deliberately waste time on the part of the batting or bowling team during a match.
Alcohol kills nearly three million people annually, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Tuesday, adding that while the death rate had dropped slightly in recent years, it remained “unacceptably high”.
The United Nations Health Agency’s latest report on alcohol and health said alcohol causes nearly one in 20 deaths globally each year through drunk driving, alcohol-induced violence and abuse and a multitude of diseases and disorders.
The report said 2.6 million deaths were attributed to alcohol consumption in 2019 — the latest available statistics — accounting for 4.7 per cent of all deaths worldwide that year. Nearly three-quarters of those deaths were in men, it said.
“Substance use severely harms individual health, increasing the risk of chronic diseases, mental health conditions, and tragically resulting in millions of preventable deaths every year,” WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. He pointed out that there had been “some reduction in alcohol consumption and related harm worldwide since 2010”.
“[But] the health and social burden due to alcohol use remains unacceptably high,” he continued, highlighting that younger people were disproportionately affected.
The highest proportion of alcohol-attributable deaths in 2019 — 13pc — were among people aged 20 to 39, the WHO said.
Drinking is linked to a slew of health conditions, including cirrhosis of the liver and some cancers. Of all the fatalities it caused in 2019, the report found that an estimated 1.6 million were from noncommunicable diseases.
Of these, 474,000 were from cardiovascular diseases, 401,000 from cancer and a huge 724,000 from injuries, including traffic accidents and self-harm.
United States State Department on Wednesday said that the US supports “Pakistan’s efforts to combat terrorism” after the federal government of Pakistan approved a new anti-terrorism Operation Azm-e-Istehkam.
Earlier this week, the Prime Minister’s Office clarified that no internal dislocation of people would occur due to this operation as in previous Operations like Zarb-e-Azb and that “only intelligence-based operations would be carried out against terrorists.”
State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller, when asked about the new operation and the US reaction to its announcement, said: “We support Pakistan’s efforts to combat terrorism and ensure the safety and security of its citizens in a manner that promotes the rule of law and protection of human rights.”
“Pakistani people have suffered tremendously from terrorist attacks. No country should have to suffer such acts of terror,” he said, adding that the US and Pakistan have a shared interest in combating threats to regional security.
Opposition parties in Pakistan include Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Jamiat-e-Ulema Islam Fazl (JUI-F), Awami National Party (ANP), and others have voiced concerns over the military operation.
