War with India in October, says Shaikh Rasheed
Railways Minister Shaikh Rasheed Ahmed has always been fond of announcing predictions and his latest one is predicting war between India and Pakistan.
Addressing a ceremony in Rawalpindi, he predicted that there would be a “full-blown war” between Pakistan and India in October or November.
He also said that this was a final freedom struggle for Indian Occupied Kashmir and the war with India would be the, “last this time”.
“Jinnah had assessed the anti-Muslim mindset in India long ago. Those who still think about the possibility of dialogue with India are fools,” he added.

Three Pakistani women Mrs Khan would disapprove of
Ever since Mrs Khan made an appearance on a morning show, she has become quite famous. On the live show, Mrs Khan had said that rising divorces are due to women’s inability to bow down before their husbands and because they argue too much.
While most Pakistani women have moved beyond the notion of the ideal “woman,” who Mrs Khan believes in, here are three Pakistani women she would disapprove of.
Saba Qamar
Saba Qamar has been turning heads and putting the ghairat brigade on fire with her latest photoshoot. Mrs Khan would certainly disapprove of her showing off her long legs and bare arms. Aur toh aur Saba has said, “I do a thing called what I want.”

Sorry Saba but ladies don’t sit like that -
Mehwish Hayat
Another Pakistani woman who does what she wants. Mehwish is bold and daring and doesn’t shy away from anything – whether it is speaking her mind or dancing her heart out. And let’s not forget how lit her recent speeches and television appearances have been.
Want? Want kya hota hai?
Benazir Bhutto
The real OG. Benazir Bhutto had the power to shut down anyone without even uttering a single word. A woman who shattered glass ceilings, stood up to bullies and inspired women across the world.

Mohsin Abbas Haider found guilty of threatening wife
A lower court in Lahore has found Mohsin Abbas Haider guilty of threatening wife, Fatema Sohail.
Fatema, in an explosive social media account posted on July 20 had alleged that Mohsin was domestically abusive and had hit her on multiple occasions. She later filed an FIR against Mohsin on grounds of abusive behaviour and that Mohsin extorted money from her.
While the court found Mohsin guilty of threatening his wife, he was found innocent of breach of trust and demanding money from his wife.
According to reports, the court, during the hearing, instructed both the parties to present their respective final arguments in the next hearing.
Meanwhile, Mohsin termed it as a win and said that the truth is finally seeing the light of the day. In a video posted to social media, Mohsin’s lawyer Adnan Tariq said: “The incidents the accuser has narrated are false and nothing but the lies.”
“The investigation was high profile and it was conducted by the SSP, ADIG monitored it themselves. No money trail was found.”
He added that the Sohail and her lawyer never submitted the medical report to show that she was beaten up her husband.
“There are minor provisions of threat in the FIR, hence we are withdrawing on our bail plea,” Tariq concluded.
Haider also had a few words to share. Mohsin said that he was disappointed with the film and media fraternity for “believing a crying woman” without any solid proof.
“Without knowing the full story, they passed judgements. They started saying that my time is up aur main kaheen ka nahi raha,” said Haider.
He reiterated that a crying woman is not always telling the truth before going on to make religious annotations and saying that there is a higher power at work.
“I’m waiting for a reaction from all those who made comments and passed judgments. The more interesting part was that people from my own fraternity expressed their hatred towards me by unfriending me on Facebook.”
“Anyhow, may Allah keep you all happy and I thank those who supported me,” he concluded.
Mohsin also refuted rumors that he was marrying model Nazish Jahangir. The actor remarked that the media sensationalised comments without confirmation. He added that everyone will know when he’ll be getting married but at this moment, all such stories are false.
Fatema’s sister Ayesha took to social media to explain the victim’s version of the story. Ayesha claims that the police is supporting Mohsin.
Speaking to The Current, Fatema’s lawyer Barrister Ehtisham said that the court trial is yet to begin and this is the conclusion of the police investigation.
He said, “The [police] investigation has not been concluded on merits. We will go to the court against the police finding and SSP & DIG investigation who were managed by Mohsin Abbas.”
He added that since Mohsin has withdrawn his bail plea, he can be arrested under Section 506 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
Unfortunately, there are no laws regarding domestic violence in Pakistan yet.

ZQ takes a dig at Samina Peerzada
Former supermodel Zainab Qayyum, more popularly known as ZQ, took a dig at Samina Peerzada for asking an improper question about her father’s death experience and her show and how she felt about it.
Samina’s show, Rewind with Samina Peerzada is a web tv talk show in which she talks to celebrities about their struggles, journey and the challenges they faced. But more than her guests, Samina ends up being in the limelight for asking inappropriate questions which is why she has been a subject of many hilarious memes.
Responding to one of those memes, ZQ brought up her own experience on the show.
ZQ not only mocked her for copying Simi Garewal’s show but also for her potential to ask questions that can be deemed inappropriate.

Russia’s ice-cream diplomacy: Putin buys Turkey’s Erdogan ice-cream
Ever wondered how world leaders treat each other?
Well, we recently got a glimpse of Russia’s ‘Ice-cream Diplomacy’ when Russian President Vladimir Putin bought Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan an ice-cream cone at the Moscow International Aviation and Space Salon (MAKS 2019). How cool.
After getting the ice-cream, Erdogan asked Putin: “Will you pay for me too?”
To which the Russian President responded: “Yes, of course I’ll pay. After all, you are our guest.”
President Putin then paid 210 rubles ($3.20) for the ice-cream. He gave the ice-cream vendor a 5,000 ruble note and told his minister Denis Manturov to keep the change!
Earlier this summer, Russian President Putin gifted his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping a box of Russian ice-cream for his birthday. Apparently, the Chinese President loves Russian desserts.
