    Hania’s been keeping us entertained with her daily activities, sharing every little detail of her life like a true social media queen
    But wait, there’s a twist! .After posting some pics from her Dubai escapade, where she’s not sporting her usual hijab, the internet went into a frenzy. Turns out, some fans weren’t too thrilled about her wardrobe choice post-Umrah.

    As usual, trolls think they can dictate apparel choices to female entertainers and actresses. Really folks, give it a rest. Find something else to do, like a job or a creative project. What a woman wears is none of your business.

    PM orders rapid action against tax evaders

    In a meeting held on Monday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has authorised that swift action be taken against tax evaders and defaulters. He tasked the committee to identify all obstacles and delays in the implementation of Trace and Track System (TTS) in tobacco, sugar, cement and fertilizer industries.

    The PM also said that action should be taken within seven days against tax evaders. PM Shehbaz emphasized that all legal obstacles in the implementation of trace and track system should be removed and that this system should be enforced at all production lines of cement factories. Those factories who refuse to follow the rules, should be immediately sealed, the Premier ordered.

    He was of the opinion that besides an increase in revenue, the trace and track system could also be used for identification of counterfeit products.
    The premier also called for an end to fake and unregistered cigarettes. The meeting was apprised that TTS was fully operational in 14 tobacco factories whereas 12 other factories had been sealed for non-compliance.

    The system faced problems in sugar and cement industries due to technical issues while it was working in fertilizer industry. The PM also stressed action against smuggling that was causing serious loss to the national exchequer.

  • Rana Sanaullah not happy with PPP

    Rana Sanaullah not happy with PPP

    Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Rana Sanaullah strongly criticised the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) for its attitude towards the coalition government in the centre.

    “The attitude of the PPP will remain the same throughout the tenure of the government. Look at their reaction to the Indus River System Authority (IRSA) chairman [appointment] issue,” Sanaullah said while speaking on Geo News’ programme Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath.

    “It is clear; they will have their own position on everything. An impression is coming from allies to have the same attitude. However, we will try to move forward,” he added.

    His remarks came after the PPP strongly objected to the decision of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to appoint Zafar Mahmood, a retired grade 22 federal government officer.

    The PPP declared the appointment of Zafar Mahmood for a three-year tenure under the IRSA ordinance against the constitution.

    Threats and blackmail: Scotland Yard provides protection to Hareem Shah

    TikTok star Hareem Shah has been given protection by Scotland Yard after receiving threats from people there, police have confirmed. A London police spokesman confirmed that Hareem Shah, whose real name is Fiza, had made a complaint to the police about people following and threatening her with blackmail.

    “I contacted the police after having a strained relationship with some people I had met in Manchester and had been with,” Hareem Shah stated.

    “It should be noted that last week some videos and photos of mine were released on social media through anonymous accounts,” she added.

    “The controversy began after a group of British Pakistanis approached members of the Pakistani media alleging that I had stolen £6,000 in Manchester and fled the city to London,” Hareem continued.

    “I denied stealing the money, and I believe the accusers should go to the police and investigate me, instead of defaming me on social media through abuse, threats, and blackmail,” she emphasized.

    FC soldier martyred as terrorists attack naval base in Turbat

    Security forces thwarted and swiftly repulsed an insurgent attack on PNS Siddique in Turbat last night. One Balochistan Frontier Corps (FC) soldier was martyred while authorities killed four terrorists in the operation.

    Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has said in a statement that the terrorists’ attempt to attack was foiled due to the “swift and effective response by the troops ensuring the safety and security of personnel and assets”.

    In the intense fire exchange, 24-year-old Sepoy Noman Fareed embraced martyrdom. Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the attack and pointed out that its Majeed Brigade carried out the assault.
    Few days ago, security forces thwarted a militant attack on Gawadar Port Authority Complex when a group of eight terrorists attempted to enter the complex but failed to do so. Two soldiers were martyred in that attack while all eight terrorists were eliminated.

    PNS Siddique is the second biggest naval air base in Pakistan.
    Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif appreciated the security forces for foiling the attack and reaffirmed the country’s unwavering commitment to ending the menace of terrorism.

  • PTI to register FIR against Sanaullah for threatening Imran Khan

    PTI to register FIR against Sanaullah for threatening Imran Khan

    The Karachi leadership of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has decided to lodge a First Information Report (FIR) against the ruling party Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior member Rana Sanaullah for allegedly threatening to kill Imran Khan.

    In recent interviews with TV channels, Sanaullah termed the mere political existence of Imran Khan a “problem”.
    The PTI, however, did not agree with the narrative and viewed Sanaullah’s remarks as a “demand” to assassinate Imran Khan.

    Rana Sanullah, however, clarified his position on Geo News saying he did not issue any death threat to Imran Khan. “Our relation with PTI is only political,” he said.

    Sanaullah remarked that if PTI chooses to leave the kind of exclusive politics which terms other politicians as “dacoits” and does not consider engaging with other political parties, then this problem would go away right at that moment.

    “If he [Imran Khan] doesn’t accept our political existence then why would we accept his,” asked Sanaullah.

    PTI leader Raoof Hasan said that his party’s core committee has decided to register cases against both PML-N leaders Sanaullah and Marriyum Aurangzeb for their threatening remarks to PTI’s Imran Khan.

    ‘Koi larai nahi ki hum nay’; Sher Afzal Marwat denies altercation with party members.

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sher Afzal Marwat has denied reports of heated words exchanged between party members during a meeting of the core committee.

    The politician declared reports about a heated argument with Karachi based party leader Shamim Naqvi and others as “false and malicious.”

    “The debate in a party meeting ought not to be construed as differences in the party,” he wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

    Marwat reiterated that the party is “united” and its members will “continue to work together like a rock.”

    On Monday, Marwat and Niazullah Niazi had a heated argument during the party meeting. Allegations and counter-allegations about the ‘batsman’ (PTI-Nazriyati) supposedly sparked the disagreement.
