    ‘Bohat si ghaltiyaan huvi hain’: Hamid Khan says Imran Khan confesses to blunders

    Senior lawyer and former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Hamid Khan said that former Prime Minister Imran Khan confessed to committing blunders that cost PTI politically.

    Hamid revealed that he had met Khan at the latter’s request. Speaking on Geo News show ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath’, Hamid said that former Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi had brought Imran’s message to him. He said he agreed to see Khan along with former core members of the PTI.

    “He showed up with an open heart and confessed that bohat si ghaltiyaan huvi hain [We have made a lot of mistakes]. And [these mistakes] have resulted in a loss for the party,” said Hamid.

    Hamid said that Khan had admitted that his (Hamid Khan’s) stance and struggle against the establishment’s political role was right. He said Imran Khan had also admitted that he (Imran Khan) should have given importance to his (Hamid Khan’s) reservations about Jahangir Tareen and Aleem Khan.

    Hamid said Khan also admitted that he was misled on Justice Qazi Faez Isa’s issue, adding that he had told Khan that the reference was a mistake because the judge was an honest man.

    Earlier in April, Khan had admitted that the filing of a presidential reference for the removal of Supreme Court’s Justice Qazi Faez Isa was a mistake.

    ‘No MoU on wheat and oil with Khan’s govt’: Russian ambassador to Pak

    Danila Ganich, Russia’s ambassador to Pakistan, has said that in his opinion the Russian visit could have been “one of the factors” for the removal of former Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan from power but added that it was a sheer coincidence that Khan happened to be in Russia the day the Ukraine war broke out.

    “I think that was one of the factors but I also know that it was a sheer coincidence that he happened to be in Moscow on that very day,” said Ganich when asked if Khan’s government was removed from power because of his visit to Russia in an interview with Aaj News‘ senior anchorperson Shaukat Piracha.

    “The proof of that is just the fact that he was in Moscow on that very day, had he known that the operation would start on that very day, definitely he would have tried to refrain from being there on that very day. So that was a coincidence.”

    “As an ambassador of a foreign country I prefer not to interfere in your internal affairs.”

    “I do know that Pakistani [authorities] concluded that there was no conspiracy. So here I would like to say period. I cannot take sides here, especially when your judge concluded that there was no conspiracy,” said Ganich.

    Ganich said that Russia and Pakistan did not conclude any memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Khan’s claims that Russia had agreed to sell both wheat and oil at a 20 per cent and 30 per cent discount to Pakistan due to the efforts of his government.

    “I can confirm that we did not conclude any MoU,” the ambassador revealed. “As for what kind of discounts could have been offered [on oil and wheat], I cannot comment on this, as these are confidential negotiations.”

    Earlier, Russian Counsel General in Karachi, Andrey Fedorov said that a proposal was discussed between the two parties, while categorically denying that any letter was written by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government to Russia, reported Samaa News.

    Finance Minister Miftah Ismail in an interview with CNN’s Becky Anderson refuted Khan’s claims that Russia has not offered a 30 per cent discount on oil or wheat.

    Miftah further said that even though a letter was written by former minister Hammad Azhar, Russia did not respond to the letter.

    Former premier Khan recently said that during his time in power, the PTI government had signed an agreement with Russia to buy cheap oil and wheat. Adding that his government remained in power Pakistan would not have to face the petrol bomb.

  • ‘Painted me as international drug trafficker’: Aryan Khan breaks silence on the controversial drug case

    ‘Painted me as international drug trafficker’: Aryan Khan breaks silence on the controversial drug case

    Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan made “soul-searching queries” to the lead investigator on the drugs case against him while the actor disclosed how his son had trouble sleeping at night because of the public trial, the India Today magazine has reported in the first comments by the family on the eight-month ordeal.

    The report, based on an interview with Sanjay Singh, the senior Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer who headed the probe, said that the investigator did not expect the questions Aryan Khan asked him.

    Mr Singh said that after he told Aryan Khan that he had come with “an open mind”, the 24-year-old asked, “Sir, you have painted me as an international drug trafficker, that I finance drug trafficking – aren’t these charges absurd?”

    “They did not find any drugs on my person that day, and yet they arrested me. Sir, you have done me great wrong and ruined my reputation. Why did I have to spend so many weeks in jail – did I really deserve it?” Aryan Khan reportedly asked.

    When the officer later met Aryan Khan’s father, Shah Rukh Khan, the actor said he was concerned about his son’s mental health.

    Aryan was cleared of all charges by the NCB eight months after his arrest.

    The Dilwale star told him that Aryan was not sleeping well, and he had to keep him company through the night, the magazine reported.

    The superstar also said that his son was “being vilified” even though there was no substantial evidence against him.

    Almost in tears, Shah Rukh told Sanjay Singh, “We have been painted as some kind of big criminals or monsters who are out to destroy society, and we find it going to work tough every day.”

    Eight months after a raid on a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai that ended in his arrest and more than three weeks in jail, Aryan Khan was cleared of all charges by the NCB last month because of a lack of sufficient evidence.

  • Farah Gogi, husband were residents of PM House in Bani Gala

    Farah Gogi, husband were residents of PM House in Bani Gala

    Farah Khan and her husband Ahsan Jameel Gujjar were treated as residents of former Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s house in Bani Gala, which was declared the official PM House during his tenure, reports The News.

    The records for 44 months showed that Farah alias Gogi and Gujjar’s visits to Bani Gala were not recorded in the registers maintained by the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Special Branch. The Special Branch of Islamabad Police controls the entry and exit points of PM House as part of the security provided to the PM.

    According to The News, the Special Branch officers revealed that Farah Khan and Ahsan Jameel Gujjar were among the most frequent visitors to Bani Gala.

    However, the entry of Gogi and Gujjar was never recorded as the Special Branch had been instructed to treat the couple as “residents of the PM House since they were part of the family”.

    A record of all visitors to PM House is maintained by the PM’s secretarial staff. This record is kept in a register and includes the names and vehicle numbers of all visitors. This policy applies to all visiting ministers, members of parliament, politicians, government officials, and private persons.

    Farah Khan and her husband were known as close family friends of former PM Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Khan. In April, former Punjab senior minister Abdul Aleem Khan alleged that Farah Khan was involved in massive corruption. Gogi is also accused of having great influence on the official matters in Islamabad and the Punjab government.

    Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz dubbed Farah Khan the “mother of all scandals” and also accused her of receiving huge amounts of money for transfers and postings. “I dare to name Farah, a friend of Bushra Bibi who is involved in receiving millions of rupees in transfers and postings and these are directly connected to Banigala,” said Maryam Nawaz.

    Army denies taking action against officers after Maryam Nawaz’s speech

    The Pakistan Army has revoked all the post-retirement benefits, including pensions and free medical coverage, for five retired army officers for their involvement in anti-army campaign.

    One ex-major general’s name is also included in the list. Action against these officials was conducted last month following legal procedures and allowing the ex-servicemen a chance to defend themselves.

    “The GHQ had proceeded against the five retired officers at least two weeks before Maryam spoke on the issue,” said one of the sources while denying the statements of some YouTubers who are connecting the military action against with a recent statement of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz.

    According to the source, the military expects the government to take action against individuals who defame the military.

    “The social media reports of 150 ex-servicemen facing the action are totally incorrect,” the source added.

  • There should be no hindrance in Musharraf’s return to Pakistan: Khawaja Asif

    There should be no hindrance in Musharraf’s return to Pakistan: Khawaja Asif

    Defence Minister Khawaja Asif in a tweet has said that there should be no hindrance in former military dictator General (retd) Pervez Musharraf’s return, if he wants to come back to Pakistan.

    “In view of his health condition, there should be no hindrance in the return of Pervez Musharraf to the country,” tweeted Khawaja Asif. “Events of the past should not stand [in his way to come back].”

    “May he spend his time with dignity in this phase of life,” added the defence minister.

    Rumours of Musharraf’s death started circulating on social media on Friday. However, his family clarified that Gen Musharraf is not on a ventilator but has been unwell, stating that he is “going through a difficult stage where recovery is not possible”.

    On December 17, 2019, a special court found Musharraf guilty of high treason and sentenced him to death under Article 6 of the Constitution in a 2–1 split verdict.

    However, in January 2020, the Lahore High High Court (LHC) overturned the death sentence handed down to Musharraf.

  • ‘Why would I harm my family business’?: PM Shehbaz, CM Hamza get pre-arrest bails

    A special court in Lahore granted pre-arrest bails to Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif and his son Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Hamza Shehbaz in a Rs16 billion money laundering case registered against them by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).

    The court asked both PM Shehbaz and CM Hamza to pay Rs1 million in surety bonds, each within seven days.

    Both the PM and his son CM Hamza appeared before the court on Saturday.

    During the hearing, the court asked Shehbaz if he has no ownership of Ashiana Housing Scheme and Ramzan Sugar Mills, to which the PM replied, “I have no stake in either.”

    PM Shehbaz asked: “Why would I engage in corruption and money laundering and harm the family business?”

    He said the Federal Investigative Agency (FIA) was provided with all the facts verbally. “I faced countless hearings and trials. The FIA was admonished for not presenting a challan. I believe the FIA was preparing for an arrest, hence the challan was delayed,” he added.

    “The entire case is built on lies and will be buried,” PM Shehbaz further said during the hearing.

    PM Shehbaz’s attorney Amjad Pervez stated that the fact that both of them [Shehbaz and Hamza] had previously been interrogated in jail by the FIA was sufficient proof for their bail.

    He said, “The case has been ongoing for more than a year and now we discover that the suspects were not made part of the inquiry.”

    Last year, the FIA submitted a challan against Shehbaz and Hamza to the special court for their alleged involvement in a money laundering case.

    The report said that the amount was kept in “hidden accounts” and “given to Shehbaz in a personal capacity”.

  • Ms. Marvel slammed in reviews for being ‘Pakistani, Muslim’

    Ms. Marvel slammed in reviews for being ‘Pakistani, Muslim’

    Ms. Marvel is the highest-rated MCU series on Rotten Tomatoes but the lowest-rated MCU series on IMDB. The difference in rating hints towards something else, reports Forbes. The reason why there is a huge disparity in Ms. Marvel’s reviews on different platforms is that it is being ‘review-bombed’, as per Forbes.

    What is review-bombing?

    A review-bomb is an Internet phenomenon in which large groups of people leave negative user reviews online in an attempt to harm the sales and/or popularity of a product. Ms. Marvel is being review-bombed as users are spamming the series with a lot of 1-star reviews as compared to more than any other MCU series.

    As per the news outlet, apparently the show is getting negative reviews because it stars a Pakistani Muslim Girl. However, the other reasons could be that it is aimed at younger audience or the show has changed Ms Marvel’s powers from the comics.

    “Ms. Marvel is undisputably being review-bombed, namely because of the core identity of the character including her race and religion. It’s not surprising, but it still sucks.,” Paul Tasii writes.

    Ms. Marvel is currently streaming on Disney+ on. Marvel’s first Pakistani Muslim woman superhero is being played by Iman Vellani.
