  • ‘I am more experienced than Barrister Gohar,’ Latif Khosa

    ‘I am more experienced than Barrister Gohar,’ Latif Khosa

    In a recent interview on Geo News’ program ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Saath,’ senior vice president of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Latif Khosa, took a swipe at the party’s newly appointed chairman Barrister Gohar.

    Khosa expressed confidence in assuming a leadership role after Imran Khan.

    Directing criticism at Barrister Gohar, Khosa stated that the lawyer lacks the experience that he possesses. He emphasized his role as the senior vice president within PTI, positioning himself as a contender for leadership after Imran Khan.

    During the conversation, Khosa emphasized that, unlike the situation with Nawaz Sharif, the judiciary was not biased in favor of PTI.

    He highlighted the trial without jurisdiction in the Toshakhana case, stating that the punishment given was incorrect and could be rectified through a review order.

    Khosa asserted that the subsequent disqualification of Imran Khan by the Election Commission as a consequence of delaying the sentence was rushed, occurring within three days instead of the stipulated 30 days.

    He further stated that the basic rights of Imran Khan were being apprehended by the courts.

    Khosa mentioned that the situation is leading to uncertainty and keeping PTI out of elections means that the elections are not free and fair.

  • Usman Khawaja’s emotional message on supporting Palestine has moved the internet

    Usman Khawaja’s emotional message on supporting Palestine has moved the internet

    Australian batsman Usman Khawaja released an emotional message on social media to support Palestine after wearing shoes that said ‘All Lives Matter’ in the colours of the Palestinian flag.

    He requested the International Cricket Council (ICC) and Cricket Australia (CA) to permit him to support Palestine on-field.

    Earlier, during the first Test match played in Perth against Pakistan, Usman wore a black armband.

    ICC charged the Australian opener, calling the armband a personal promotion.

    During a practice session before the Perth Test, the Kangaroos opener wore shoes with a pro-Palestinian slogan on them, but Cricket Australia and the ICC took action against him, after which he participated in the game with a black armband against Israeli atrocities.

    In his message Usman Khawaja said, “I don’t have any agendas other than trying to shine a light on what I feel, passionately, really strongly about. I’m trying to do in the most respectful way possible what around my shoes was really.”

    “I thought about it for a while where I was going to write. I made sure that I didn’t want to segregate different parts of the population, religious beliefs, and communities, hence why I’ve kept religion out of this. I want it to be really broad and open, mind speaking, because I’m talking about humanitarian issues.”

    “I’m talking about Article One or the Unified Declaration of Human Rights. That is the crux of it. The reason I’m doing it is because it hit me hard. You know, I told Nick just this morning that. When I’m looking at my Instagram I’m seeing kids, innocent kids, videos of them dying, and passing away. That’s what’s hit me the hardest”.

    I just imagine my young daughter in my arms is the same thing, I get emotional talking about it right now again, and for me, that’s the reason I’m doing this. I don’t have any hidden agendas. If anything, you know, this brings up more negativity towards me. People come and start attacking me. I don’t get anything out of this. I just feel like it’s my responsibility to speak up on this”.

    “We live in such a beautiful country. I’m blessed to be able to go to Australia. I can walk outside. I have to worry about a thing. My kids can do the same. I just want that for the rest of the world. And that’s the reason I’m saying this”.

    Is Bilawal expected to shake ‘Takht-e-Lahore’?

    Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has decided to challenge the Sharif brothers in Lahore, famously known as Takht-e-Lahore, for a high voltage competition in the metropolitan, Azaz Syed has reported for Geo News on Friday.

    The report states that the PPP chief has decided to contest elections from Lahore’s NA-128 constituency in Lahore, traditionally the stronghold of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), with the party securing a majority of seats from the provincial capital in the last many elections.

    Along with Bilawal, Hafiz Mohiuddin, and party stalwart Misbah-ur-Rehman will file nomination papers for provincial assembly seats in the same constituency, PPP sources told Geo.

    Bilawal is expected to file nomination papers today (Friday) as December 22 is the last date for the submission of nomination papers.
    Although several political parties PML-N have sought an extension on the deadline, no decision has been taken by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) so far.

    PML-N’s Mian Ahmed Subhan will contest elections against the PPP chief in the NA-128 constituency.

    Lawyer Salman Akram Raja from PTI is expected to compete against Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

  • Imran Khan, Shah Mahmood Qureshi get bail from Supreme Court in cipher case

    Imran Khan, Shah Mahmood Qureshi get bail from Supreme Court in cipher case

    The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Friday approved post-arrest bail for former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan and Vice-Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi in the cipher case.

    The PTI founder and vice-chairman were indicted in the cipher case by a special court established under the Official Secrets Act 2023 after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) declared their jail trial null and void.

    During proceedings today, the top court heard the petition against Khan and Qureshi’s October 23 indictment, as reported by Maryam Nawaz on Geo News.

    At the outset of the hearing, Justice Masood remarked that the indictment that was challenged was already nullified by the IHC on November 21.
    As a result, Imran and Qureshi’s Oct 23 indictments in the case also stood null and void, and the trial was conducted again.

    Justice Masood said that the fresh indictment will not be affected by the previous proceedings that were declared invalid by the IHC.

    At this, Khan’s counsel Hamid Khan argued that the trial was taking place on the previous charge sheet.

    Justice Masood said that the petition against the old charge sheet has become infructuous. “If you have an objection to the fresh indictment then challenge it in the high court,” the judge told the lawyer.

    To this, Hamid requested the court to wait for the Islamabad High Court’s decision today against the in-camera trial in the cipher case.

    Khan’s other counsel, Barrister Salman Safdar, said that Hamid had made amendments to his petitions, requesting the court to accept it as a fresh one.

    The court then adjourned the hearing on the plea against indictment while the hearing on bail pleas got underway.
