    Saudi Arabia, Palestine, UAE among six Muslim states that awarded Modi with high civilian awards

    Despite the crisis in occupied Kashmir and after the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain has also conferred upon Indian Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi its top award, “The King Hamad Order of the Renaissance”.

    While the Modi-led government paves way for a Muslim genocide in the troubled valley, India’s relations with Islamic nations are better than ever before.

    Several other Islamic nations also honoured Modi with their high civilian award in the recent past. Here’s a list of awards the Indian premier has been conferred with by Muslim-majority countries:

    The King Hamad Order of the Renaissance, Bahrain – August 2019

    Order of Zayed, UAE’s highest civilian award – August 2019

    Grand Collar of the State of Palestine – February 2018

    Amir Amanullah Khan Award, Afghanistan – June 2016

    King Abdulaziz Sash Award, Saudi Arabia – April 2016

    Rule of Nishan Izzuddeen, Maldives – June 2019

    Both recent awards have led to an uproar as a human rights crisis brews in Muslim-majority occupied Kashmir with New Delhi continuing its clampdown in the disputed territory.

    Boxer Amir Khan is going to the Line of Control

    Acclaimed British-Pakistani boxer Amir Khan has announced that he will be visiting the Line of Control to highlight the ongoing Indian aggression in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK).

    Khan in a tweet shared that Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asif Ghafoor was giving him the opportunity to visit the LoC.

    The boxer also posted a video message calling for peace.

    “This trip to Kashmir will be for peace,” Khan said. “I see that there are a lot of problems there… a lot of innocent people are being killed and injured.”

    The boxer also praised the Pakistan Army for “doing a great job” and said he wants to go to Kashmir on behalf of the Amir Khan Foundation and express his support for the people there.

    Ever since India revoked Article 370 which granted special status to IoK, tensions between the two neighbouring countries have reached an all-time high. Pakistan has demanded the UN take immediate notice of the deteriorating human rights situation in the occupied valley and play its role in relieving the Kashmiris from the Indian atrocities they have been facing for the last 20 days.

  • The do’s and don’t of brushing your teeth

    The do’s and don’t of brushing your teeth

    We all brush our teeth every single morning but are you doing it correctly? Brushing your teeth is very important if you want healthy teeth and want to prevent cavities and tooth decay.

    Here are five things to keep in mind when brushing your teeth.

    Are your toothbrush bristles soft enough?

    A hard brush will just damage the protective enamel layer of your teeth which in turn leads to sensitivity. Hence, it is pertinent to use a soft toothbrush.

    Brush gently

    Brushing too hard will get you nowhere. It can damage your enamel, hurt your gums and even lead to gum recession. Brush gently, making sure you cover all surfaces.

    Brush for 2 minutes

    While most people brush for only 45 seconds, dentists recommend that one should brush for at least two minutes. How long you should brush your teeth is very important.

    The right time to brush

    It is ideal to brush your teeth twice a day: one before bed and once after breakfast since you tend to consume sticky food, such as cereals, for breakfast.

    Brushing your teeth too many times a day can lead to overbrushing, which will wear away your teeth.

    Brush in small circular motions

    Keeping your brush at a 45-degree angle at all times, brush your teeth in circular motions. This helps remove particles of food that get stuck right under the gums.

    The “sawing” motion can lead to gaps in your enamel that make the perfect home for tiny food particles.

    Brush your tongue

    As strange as it sounds, the tongue is actually one of the biggest sources of bad breath on account of all the microbes and food debris that get stuck on it. So it is important that you brush your teeth to get rid of it.

    Floss

    One should floss at least once a day to remove the food hiding between your teeth. If food is left between the teeth, it can cause bad breath and tooth decay.

    Last but not least, change your brush every three to four months and visit the dentist every six months for a checkup and professional cleaning.

    Qubool hai: Hamza Ali Abbasi & Naimal Khawar

    After a whirlwind week which began with speculations, followed by Hamza’s lengthy acceptance and then a note on the right way of finding love, Hamza Ali Abbasi and Naimal Khawar have said their Qubool hais and are now officially man and wife.

    Their nikkah ceremony, which was an intimate affair, took place in Islamabad in the presence of family and some very close friends. Both the bride and groom looked radiant in white outfits and since it was a day time event they made sure to take some sunkissed selfies and pictures.

    Naimal opted to wear her mother’s bridal dress and jewellery. Islamabad-based designer Maheen Shah did Naimal’s outfit.

    “Naimal wanted to reuse her mother’s bridal and we thought it’ll surely make her look like a timeless bride. Playing with the vintage old world charm we paired it with a gold kamdaani kameez with gota and silma work on the front/back border, sleeves and the neckline. We added another organza dupatta with kamdaani chatta, finished with lace, lappa and taamba lace,” said the designer on the bride’s outfit.

    Close friends of the couple which included Gohar Rasheed, Ammara Hikmat, Usman Mukhtar, Bilal Lashari, Umair Jaswal and Atif Aslam graced the event with their presence. Senior PTI leader Senator Faisal Javed Khan and Murad Saeed were also present at the event.

  • Student arrested for posing as PRO to CM Buzdar

    Student arrested for posing as PRO to CM Buzdar

    A university student, posing as the public relations officer (PRO) to Chief Minister Punjab Usman Buzdar was arrested and sent to Adiala jail.

    According to police sources, Hamza Feroz, a resident of Gulraiz Colony, Rawalpindi, wanted police protocol for his parents who returning from Hajj. In this matter, he called the police security branch and introduced himself as the chief minister’s PRO and asked for police deployment along the route starting from Golra Mor to Soan Camp.

    Feroz’s demand made the chief security officer (CSO) of Special Branch suspicious, who then verified details and found them to be fake. The CSO then informed the city police officer and alerted the police.

    Hamza along with his brother was going to the Islamabad International Airport (IIA) in a luxury car with a flashing blue revolving light and Pakistan’s flag on its front to receive their parents when the police intercepted them for driving recklessly. Upon investigation, it was revealed that he was the same person posing to be the CM’s PRO. The police then took them into custody.

    It was further revealed that the vehicle the brothers were driving was not verified and no customs had been paid on it. The car was seized by the customs staff while the student claiming to be the PRO to the chief minister was sent to Adiala jail. Hamza’s brother obtained pre-arrest bail.

    Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has already directed all administrative departments and divisional and district police chiefs not to entertain requests made in person or on phone by unknown persons posing themselves as his relatives and to double-check anyone who claims to be. The directives were issued after some people had falsely represented themselves as relatives of the chief minister in order to get favours.
